A common misconception among makers is that simply submitting a product here is enough to drive traffic and kick-start it.

Absolutely, launching on PH takes serious prep work. Gotta make sure your onboarding is smooth, messaging is clear, and you're ready to engage with the community. Otherwise you'll miss out on turning that launch day traffic into real users and fans. Maybe use some AI tools to help refine your copy and assets so everything is polished and converting well on the big day!

@miasophiawalker You are right. Launch your product like this is your only business. Use social media for proactive marketing, showcase directories, community sites, AI tools, affiliate networks etc.

I think that only with thorough preparation can the product drive traffic on Product Hunt and have a real chance of acquiring genuine users.

It's always exciting to see what’s showcased here. Every day feels like a new chance to discover something fresh.

You're absolutely right! Product Hunt is more of a launchpad than a shopping mall.

I totally get that misconception! Just submitting your product on Product Hunt doesn’t guarantee success

That's a solid point! While Product Hunt offers great exposure the magic happens when I pair it with proactive marketing.
