We launched https://phhunters.com/ in December last week and we already got 2,000+ sessions in less than 30 days.
To give context, PH Hunters is a directory of top hunters who actively hunted products on Product Hunt in 2023.
These are the things we did to promote PH Hunters ๐
1. Build in public on Twitter:
From finding hunters to designing the layout, Iโve shared each and every step on how weโre building PH Hunters on Twitter. This helped to get suggestions from the peers and also helped to created buzz for the launch.
2. Soft launch on Twitter:
Once we finished building the list, we launched the first version on Twitter. We got a couple of feedbacks and feature requests from makers and startup founders. So, we stated working on them.
3. Wrote a post about on Indiehackers:
After adding all the features suggested by makers, we launched PH Hunters on Indiehackers.
4. Launched on Product Hunt:
Later, we scheduled the Product Hunt launch on 5th Jan and started preparing for the launch like creating the assets, creating buzz for the launch, and working on the copy of the website.
Once our launch went live, we posted about it on Twitter, and Linkedin. After a couple of hours, all the indiehackers on Twitter started reposting our tweets and sharing the launch with their followers. This gave a lot of social proof and authority to our launch. With all these, we ranked #2 of the day with more than 500 upvotes.
5. Submitted to directories:
Once the Ph launch is done and traffic from PH started declining, we submitted PH Hunters to a bunch of directories like Makerpeak, startups fyi, insanely cool tools, Affordhunt, Fazier.
With all these, we got 2000+ sessions in the first month. And now, we are planning to share on subreddits and other maker communities. Our goal is to get consistent traffic on our website by March.
