If you launched, how did you get your first 500 customers and how long did it take you?
We are setting an internal marketing strategy for www.sectar.co and want to understand how you guys got your first 500 customers, especially as a SaaS company.
Did you use any paid marketing? Any partnerships?

Need expert advice for creating a launch teaser?
Hey PH, We are planning to launch our new SaaS product www.sectar.co in September. Would love to get some help on setting it up.
What would you suggest me to do during, before and after creating a teaser?

This is how it works:
- A service provider signs up, creates a project and sends it to the client for review
- The client approves the project and funds the first milestone budget, say $100.
- Sectar collects the payment and holds it in an escrow-like account.
- Now the service provider can create a task, assign a value, say $10 and send the task for review once it’s done.
- Client the...

Judge my startup: A SaaS platform to eliminate the uncertainty in service payments
Hi people,
I’ve been away from PH for a while now, working on a new product - Sectar. So, for the last few months, I’ve been building a SaaS product to tackle delay and uncertainty in service payments. Would love to get some early feedback on the beta version.
Problem we are trying to solve:
Getting paid for your service work as a freelancer, agencies or a contractor is extremely stressful -...

Videos are one of the best ways to convey a great story at scale.
One-to-one conversations come a close second, but not scalable.
So, yes. We would definitely add a video to the launch strategy.
Do you add video to your marketing mix when planning your product launch strategy?

10 years of fiddling with entrepreneurship and this is the most important lesson for me
The hardest thing to deal with as an entrepreneur is not risk or failure. It’s uncertainty.
Especially when you are just starting.
What’s the difference?
Doing something even though you know that the odds of failure are higher is a risk.
Doing something even though you know nothing of the outcome is uncertainty.
This can get very intimidating at times.
The possibility of failure can...

Yes or no? Product Hunt needs a dedicated place for the discussions you posted.
It gets really tricky trying to find the discussions I created on the iOS app. Even on the web, I need to open my activity logs to find the discussion.
Is it just me or do you guys think so too?

What’s the secret to getting 1,000+ upvotes?
We’ve managed to 300+ upvotes for our previous launch. Plan to launch my SaaS product in April.
What can we do better/different to hit that 1,000 mark. Of course, the number can be relative or even arbitrary. But 1,000 does seem to be a benchmark for a good product. I might be wrong here 🙃

What tool do you use to plan your work & why?
1. I use Todoist as a jotter-pad to put everything in - personal, professional, habits, household.
2. A book and pen to plan the next day. I do this the night before. I carry the book around everywhere 🙃
3. Notion as my project management tool which sort of acts as a source for my “work” related tasks.

Unorthodox tip :
Products that launch on the same day as you are still products that you should support.
What is your best Product Hunt tip?

We launched Fitmap 4 months ago. We gained about 300+ followers as of now with zero marketing budget and about 29 positive reviews.
This is what I suggest :
Pre-launch phase :
1. Build your support across channels - PH, Linkedin and Direct contacts.
This is the list you can reach out to for support on your launch day, especially founders in PH who recently launched, they are generally...

This is fantastic, guys. Congrats on the launch @salmandotweb
Will it be a DIY thing? What would we get once we make the payment?
I want to build a SaaS site on Webflow, with Memberstack and Stripe as key integrations for my product www.sectar.app Currently we use www.super.so as the front-end and Notion pages as the backend for our beta-site. Works fine, but extremely limited by design....
