How I secured #5 on Product Hunt (as a solo founder)🏆

It’s Alessio, the Founder of Balibam 🙂 I've been through a lot of feelings in the past few days! The day before the Product Hunt launch, the platform crashed💥 I accidentally flooded my inbox with error messages for hours. And my email provider had blocked me! But I managed to fix everything and... say it with me: We launched! All eyes were on me. And the day was looooong and tiring. But well worth the effort. Here are some numbers we crunched: Position secured: #5 Upvotes on launch day: 317 Comments on launch day: 122 New LinkedIn connections: 64 New Twitter connections: 20 Website visits: 340 New users: 59 These numbers on Product Hunt were no easy deal. And it would've been easier, if only I had some XP. Are you in the same position as me? Interested in launching on Product Hunt, but have ZERO clue about it? Do you want to AVOID hours of frustration understanding the best launching strategies? I'm hosting an open webinar to share everything I've learned! Click on the link below to sign up. And save the date: Next Thursday, 15th Feb, 5 PM CET. Signup up: https://forms.gle/EBJJW9pKHoFfMuWw6

What are your thoughts on building a “pre-launch” email list/audience? Did you have anything of the sort ready to go prior to the day of launch?

Well done! Great results Alessio 🙂 17% website visit to user conversion is amazing!

@simona_o_neill3 I think the same! Especially thinking I was also in charge of the website and I don't consider myself good at communication :)

@wajahat_aitoolskit I don't think self-promotion is allowed here. Sorry to be direct, but I wouldn't actually try your product only for the way you are promoting it :)
