What does a 'successful Product Hunt launch' mean to you?

A successful Product Hunt launch to me means gaining valuable feedback from the community, generating interest, and connecting with potential customers!

Each company has different stages and product maturity. For my products, I think the high number of upvotes is important. Our product-GhostCut has already served tens of thousands of users, and the MVP stage is behind us. Therefore, I measure the success of my product based on a higher number of upvotes. This is because a high number of upvotes leads to high traffic on your product page which in turn results in more sales.

I'd say in general, high conversion to the metric your looking to change. It may be just visibility, free trials, subscriptions, etc. but overall any good launch is made with some specific metrics in mind (usually with the Awareness or Acquisition stages in mind)

Making sales for sure.

Users that converts, I would say.

Being able to gather some vocal early adopters as well as attention from the right people is what would make my product hunt launch successful. We are launching our closed alpha by the end of this month and I am still learning how we get that milestone/target met
