Would anyone who has had a bad product launch care to share?

There are always some products that get little engagement/upvotes. Often they don't have much in the way of video/images/opening comment. Did you take this approach? Do you regret it? Or did you still generate enough traffic to be worth it? And would you invest more effort next time? I'm really interested in the different levels of investment people make on a PH launch!

I recently launched Safe Selection: a platform for the safety of women and travelers. URL : https://www.safeselection.in But the launch was not as successful as expected :(

Hey @shubham_pratap - I'm sorry to hear that. Was there something you would have done differently in retrospect? Thanks for engaging with the post!

Not sure @matt_harbord , I followed the same step. May be I launched on weekend should be wrong, I am not sure on PH side. But from side i feel if I have a team it would have been much better. Being solo entrepreneur is great but having a team is important for success. They would helped in community building and supported me. So I think it's time , I should focus on building a small team. Launch was bad but learning and experience was good. Atleast i know I can't do everything on my own, I am a software developer I can do technical stuff but for marketing and other stuff I better build a team 🙂

@shubham_pratap I tried to look up your launch but it seems it's been removed by PH. I'm intrigued as to whether this was an action you took? Or if it goes some way to explaining whatever engagement you got? I was hoping to look up your launch to see if I had any take-away from reading it that I could offer.

@shubham_pratap oh, and I think weekend might explain some of it, but I'm going to run some numbers from the PH API and try and come up with some conclusions from that before I launch WxTxt. I'm hoping to share whatever I learn with the community too if you're interested!
