Unfortunately, no.

Dedew · Answer

Yes, but it’s not just about finding customers; it’s about finding the right customers. Product Hunt connects you with early adopters who love trying new things, giving valuable feedback, and spreading the word. It’s like a magnet for curious minds—perfect for turning interest into loyal, enthusiastic users.

We are looking for actual testers of our product but I think it is very hard to find someone on ProductHunt

Isabella Harris · Answer

I've gotten a few sign-ups and paying customers from my PH launches, but nothing game-changing to be honest. I think it's a great place to get some initial exposure and feedback, but you'll likely need to do more marketing beyond just PH to really grow your customer base, especially for articles/blog content. SEO, social media, email list, etc. are probably going to be your best bets longer-term. But every bit helps, so I'd say launching on PH is still worthwhile! Just keep expectations realistic.

Product Hunt gave us some valuable  early adopters, but the real challenge has been retaining them.

Answer

I've gotten a few signups and email subscribers, but no paying customers yet. I think the key is to keep engaging with the PH community, responding to comments, and spreading the word on other channels too. It's a good start but launching on PH alone probably isn't enough to get a flood of customers right away. Gotta play the long game!
