Hey guys, Last week (last sunday) I launched Clicks.so on product hunt in an attempt to hit the top 3. I specifically launched on Sunday knowing that it was "the weakest" competition day of the week. That turned into 1k+ ppl on the site within the 24 hour spike and more importantly +$250 Mrr within those 24 hours. Ask me anything!

Nice work Jaume, top 3 is a great result. I watched your YT video, you mentioned broader exposure. Did you get any SEO uplift (backlinks, etc) from the process? I've kinda always assumed that'd be a nice side-benefit to launching. We're launching HowdyGo on PH soon and this is an area I'm particularly interested in for our product.

@jaume_ros2 Nice! That's not bad - I'm sure it's easy to keep an eye on that backlink growth 😉
Jaume Ros
@tom_bruining Thanks Tom :) So got 3 referring domains from it. One from tldr.tech, one from launchingsoon, and a couple from product one - one I believe is do-follow. Thats also only within the first few days - so I think there should be quite a few more links coming through.

Super cool, thanks for sharing your experience especially with your YouTube video. I wanted to ask you prior to your launch, did you build any traction on PH? Did you have many people following you or waiting to be notified about your launch? I'm building wingtap btw, maybe you can tell me what you think about it and if you have any recommendations!

@kitanirjv Hey! No not really - i've posted on community before but it was a while ago not sure that had anything to do with it. The tool had already been live for a few months and had users paying and id been talking about it on social for a while so it got me some "true fans" to help me share stuff on socials.
