Yesterday, I launched my new product, Database Sensei, on Product Hunt, but it didn't go as well as I had hoped.
At first, I didn't make it to the homepage, despite having more upvotes and activity than other products.
But after reaching out to the moderators and a few hours later, I were featured on the homepage. Unfortunately, the initial burst of likes had already passed.
The aftermath is not too encouraging. I did receive feedback and more traffic than usual, but I had no conversions, meaning no one signed up for the free trial.
I've now changed to a no-card-upfront trial, so we'll see if that brings in more users.
Where did you find your first users?
Trust me having 61 upvotes is not bad than having 4 upvotes from my personal experience :-)
oh sorry to hear that 🥹 I hope we have more luck next time!
I have a product targeting software dev teams. And I got my first 2 pre-bid sales from dev.to and indiehackers
ProductHunt is just a fluff (for most products)
Yeah, looks like SQL devs were not in PH yesterday 😢
