Hey guys, I know how difficult it is to get visitors to our website in the early days. Traditional methods like SEO and social media are great, but they can take time to see results. In the early stages of our startup, we need users to: 1. Validate our idea 2. Keep our momentum going and 3. Build confidence in our product One way to achieve this is by launching on Product Hunt. This can bring in a lot of traffic for a week, but then it's back to square one. That's what happened to us. We launched our startup on Product Hunt, and got 100’s of visits in the first 2 days of launch. But by the next week we were again back to zero traffic. So, we looked for a solution to keep getting consistent traffic to our startup and finally discovered a solution for this. 🧪 That solution that worked for us was to launch our startup on all the launch platforms and communities for startup. There are more than a dozen launch platforms, forums and communities for startups like Product Hunt that can get traffic to your website for free. This will give you the initial traction you need to get things going. I’m building a list of places and I will share it here once it’s ready. Let me know if you're interested!!

@karthik_tatikonda okaaaay, let's start! 1. I wanna know MAU of platforms to start (if it's less than 5k e.g. - I will not spend time on this) 2. I wanna know what I have to do to build a traffic stream to my site. If you add an algorithm for every site - it will be brilliant (pages, what text, what topic, maybe some tips and cases) 3. Underline top 5 platforms and make prioritization. If I don't cover them all, I need the quick-win list I hope it was useful and believe that you will succeed 🤓✌️
