Have you ever paid for a promoted post on PH? Was it worth it? 🤔

Question

If you can share the results, it would be helpful. Wanna know if the advertisement here is useful.

Massimo Chieruzzi · Accepted Answer

I would be extremely curious as well. Few considerations (based totally on my gut feelings):

- It can be effective in the early days... but the audience is likely too small to use it as a continuous growth and acquisition channel. Very similar to other smaller channels like Quora Ads.

- Results will depend on the kind of product. Lead magnets, free tools, everything with a very low friction will work great. Everything targeted at other startups or developers is likely gonna work better.

- Enterprise products will be a tough sell unless they have a self service entry plan.

@sentry_co yeah, just want to know what effect it had.

@massimocw I think that this place could be good for hiring people for startups.

I tapped on a few ads because they had a good copy. There is very limited space for some creatives. Only logo and catchy headline. So advertising there is very hard.

I haven't personally paid for a promoted post on Product Hunt yet. However, I've seen some fellow makers who have tried it out.

You can buy anything short term but they are useless long term

Answer

I haven't personally paid for a promoted post on Product Hunt, but I've heard mixed feedback. Some find it worthwhile for visibility and early traction, while others feel the results don't always match the investment. It can depend on factors like your product, target audience, and timing. Would you like more detailed advice or insights?

Boris Markarian · Answer

Never, and as far as I'm concerned, it's useless, or am I wrong?

@maxjacobs I think that used to be. Maybe they changed that.
