@stoicbasil great question! We'll address this in the presentation if you can make it. Planning to share the recording with anyone who registers if the timing doesn't work out.
Signed up! This may be obvious but I would love to understand what are the most effective strategies to drive traffic from Product Hunt after launch. Additionally, I'm curious about different metrics that we can use to measure success aside from the obvious visitors and signups. Lastly, what are the best ways to nurture relationships with folks who upvoted and commented on your product?
@jingg_n_tonic thanks for the questions. I think a lot of people will want to know the same, so we will add these to the Q&A section. Looking forward to seeing you there!
After a launch, I typically advise makers to do the following:
1. Install the PH mobile app and browse through the list of your upvoters + commenters. Follow their PH profiles and cross-connect through social links in their bio if it feels appropriate.
2. Make a note of all the comments, feedback, reviews or suggestions and filter + share them with the product team.
3. Continue to create meaningful Discussion Posts on PH.
4. Try out the new short video feature on PH to keep your Product Hub followers engaged.
5. Browse through your in-app notifications and reciprocate support to makers on PH. The more you engage, the more likely users will notice you! Treat your Product Hunt profile as your landing page, every time someone visits your profile they will know -- who you are, what you do, and what you're building. Add your social and website links.
5. Run ads on PH and/or retarget the website traffic.
6. Create an email sequence to nurture new users. Build a community of true fans. Run webinars.
7. Plan for user/customer retention and upsell.
What else do you advise makers must do immediately after their launch on PH? :)
If you were to follow up a Product Hunt Launch with another awareness platform, what would it be and why?
Are there any immediate plans or opportunities in the near future from the new leadership?
@juliomedina we are planning to share a few high-level plans that are on our roadmap. Hope you can join!
Why is this scheduled for the exact time of our launch? 😂 I kid, but it is also true. I registered, assuming there would be a recording emailed afterward.
@chessnotion I would focus on reviews. Reviews help you with your organic search performance and inject you across the site for additional visibility. Moreover, hubs with a regular cadence of reviews have seen up to 8X MORE traffic than similar hubs without reviews.
Saved!
I'm wondering if there are any plans to make a feed of people you follow, and see what updates they post.
Right now Discussions are good, but I feel that post-launch it would be great to have a feed where your followers can get the latest updates from the products or people you follow.
@stelofo yes! working on something like this that's a better version of the existing activity feed https://www.producthunt.com/acti...
How can you gather feedback effectively and implement it after the launch? What's the best way to do this
Look forward to it! I'm interested in learning about strategies to manage our PH presence post-launch and how those may differ depending on product category as well.
Maybe you can give me tips on how to promote our form backend service fabform.io
Launching soon!
Understanding a little more about the gamification. There are lots of myths on here so understanding if: Streaks, Points, Badges actually mean anything/hold weight etc.
How to define a successful launch? Is there any way to successfully launch on Product hunt?
