I think that completely depends on your target audience and how many people you can reach with your launch.

I think it definitely is, it will not only bring traffic but for some reason many other directories also list you for free - so it will also help in backlinking - if you have a successful launch

@shabb_katoch What analogues of the PH do you know and can you recommend?

from our last experience, I'd say it rather helped us to get investors than users. it seems like ProductHunt is a good source of early testers, but not so many of them are actually our target audience.

I think Product Hunt can be a great way to gain initial exposure, collect feedback and probably can gain long-term customers. However, its success depends heavily on the quality of product, the marketing strategy and the level of preparation. When everything is well-prepared, Product Hunt can be a powerful platform.

For me, Product Hunt was a good source for early users. It's not huge customer base, but it definitely got us started.

A launch on PH will likely give you a spike in website traffic and a certain number of leads or customers all at once, but it’s unlikely to be a constant source.

Any "secret trick" to succeed on PH as a newcomer?

I believe that's depend upon your customers and the product.

I believe it’s definitely a smart move. Not only will it drive traffic, but for some reason, many other directories also list you for free, which will help with backlinking—especially if you have a successful launch. Visit
