What does a 'successful Product Hunt launch' mean to you?

by•

Hey Product Hunt legends, we are all launching or launched on PH, but what do you consider a successful launch? Product of the day? High number of upvotes? Hight traffic on your product page? Making sales?

Each company has different stages and product maturity. For my products, I think the high number of upvotes is important. Our product-GhostCut has already served tens of thousands of users, and the MVP stage is behind us. Therefore, I measure the success of my product based on a higher number of upvotes. This is because a high number of upvotes leads to high traffic on your product page which in turn results in more sales.

@niumo Yes, for you the number of website traffic works well because you are already out of weeds with MVP, and you already have established userbase.

A successful Product Hunt launch to me means gaining valuable feedback from the community, generating interest, and connecting with potential customers!

I'd say in general, high conversion to the metric your looking to change. It may be just visibility, free trials, subscriptions, etc. but overall any good launch is made with some specific metrics in mind (usually with the Awareness or Acquisition stages in mind)

Making sales for sure.

Product Launching mean you can get feedback about your product's pros and cons.

for me Making Sales or Conversions For monetized products, making sales or conversions is a clear indicator of a successful launch, as it demonstrates that people not only find value in your product but are also willing to pay for it.

Great question - We launched today (Yay! Please support) and the PH badge would mean: - Social proof - Opens doors to B2B conversations with potential travel partners - Helps shape the MVP Not aiming for $, which is why we have a deep discount of $1 per tour (I couldn't get my payment provider to make it any lower!), so sales is a bonus.

Users that converts, I would say.
Being able to gather some vocal early adopters as well as attention from the right people is what would make my product hunt launch successful. We are launching our closed alpha by the end of this month and I am still learning how we get that milestone/target met
