Why did you Launch on Product Hunt?

Question

What did you think you'd get from it?  Or did you just follow what everyone else is doing?

Richa Sharma · Accepted Answer

A lot of reasons to launch on PH. Some of the common ones include:

- more visibility and awareness
- acquire new users
- reach a global audience 
- introduce your product to the entire PH community 
- get feedback to improve your product
- validate your product/idea/purpose 
- gather social proof from existing and new users

Sometimes, people also look at it as a hiring platform and, of course, because the competitors are already here.

Would love to know if there are any more reasons!

@richa_sharma07 That's a good observation, probably I have got the similar reasons as well.

Silvi Hambardzumyan · Answer

So people know about our product. To find users or people with whom we can talk and gain feedback, to find PMF.

To get more exposure and sales to my product.

What about you Maxwell?

Harold · Answer

After years of lurking on PH, this became something on my bucket list 😇

And ofc the big audience for exposure, and the social proof you can add to your product with (hopefully) a nice badge at the end of the day 🙂
