How true is that, UNLESS your audience is software developers and SaaS Makers, you are not marketing to the people who will buy and stay. Yes you may get support and then have to deal with massive churn, which in turn will screw up your LTV calculation later. 1. Your perfect clients are not on Product Hunt - TRUE 2. Upvotes are a vanity metric - TRUE 3. Scoring top spot equals to making money? - LIE 4. Upvotes depend on your audience - TRUE What are your thoughts if you have launched a non SaaS or Developer tool before?

Hello! If you're an Australian looking for a truly unique online casino experience, I can't recommend captain jack casino enough. From the moment you step on board, you'll be immersed in the exciting world of pirates and treasure. This theme is not just for show - it is woven into every aspect of the gameplay, creating the feeling that with every spin of the reels you are embarking on a sea adventure. The attention to detail and the desire to create an immersive atmosphere sets Captain Jack apart from the rest.

While Product Hunt has faced its share of challenges, it remains a vibrant platform for discovering and showcasing new tech products. It's crucial, however, to approach it with realistic expectations and a clear understanding of its community-driven nature.

This is why you have to clearly set your goals for the launch. Is it to gain users (think whether your product's users actually are here) or just to gain publicity or something else?

@joonatanvanhala it's good for SEO visibility as its full of developers. Unless you are building for developers.

I chose to publicly post my product in here because i want to show them the capabilities of it. It's like showing it to potential users and investors. I think there's nothing wrong with it. But of course, there are a lot of platforms to use when it comes to publicizing your products
