I launched my product on 5th December. I was in 16th place all day, but in the end I took 19th. This also needs to take into account the fact that my product, due to some technical problem with this platform, did not show the first two hours in the product list. As for me, the first 4 hours are the most important, losing half of it is very unpleasant πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί I've been preparing for this launch for two months. And such a strange mistake (not mine) led to failure (mine) πŸ‘€ ... Okay, what about the traffic I received. On the day of launch, 170 visitors to the site, the next day - 150. And on the third day around 140 So, very weak traffic if you occupy the top 20 Before this, I also launched another product. That time I took 33rd place and received 88 visitors on the site. But there I got such a result, because I didn’t prepare for the launch at all πŸ’΅ In both cases I didn't get the client. Perhaps if you have a different price range, your results will be completely different. My product provides design services that cost several thousand dollars. Perhaps if it was some kind of subscription for 10-20 bucks, then I would get clients. But there would still be very few of them πŸ‘‰ IMHO. top 20 and top 30 are useless. I think the top 5 get the best traffic. The rest are nothing. To get into the top 5, you definitely need other sources of traffic on Product Hunt on the day of release. You need a really significant audience that will support you, be it your clients, followers of various social networks, etc. I hope this will be useful to you

You are right Petto! I think you should study why the ranking slipped from 13 to 16th. Also Tuesdays are quite competitive. We also launched on Tuesday and ended up in 10th position. Product Hunt launch can be considered a real success if you are in top 5 of the day. I know founders who have got over 1000 USERS by being in the top 5.
