If these are your target users, then Product Hunt is an extremely good place to launch your B2B product. However, we also got signups from some really big companies so there’s diversity in its user base. Many of them are freelancers, startup founders and other small business owners. So is Product Hunt suitable place to launch a B2B product? Based on our experience, yes. But that also depends on your target audience. Product Hunt attracts lots of developers, designers and savvy internet users in general. Many of the products listed on any given day are targeted for consumers.
Resist the urge to launch at too early stage. Launch at Product Hunt when when you’re ready to handle a large number of signups.

Launch at Betalist when you are not yet ready for a full launch but you would like have some early adopters trying out your product to get some early feedback. Here are some lessons we learned from our product launch. We felt that the next day when there was another peak of visitors coming via "daily top 10” newsletter. Why does it matter how many upvotes you get? It’s because top voted products are featured in the daily and weekly emails that can provide even further distribution. We ended up at fifth place with about 300 upvotes.
Every day there’s tens of products submitted and the "winner of the day” seems to get closer to 1000 upvotes.
Why is that? Are Finnish companies slow to adopt new technologies? I hope it ain’t so.īut how do these numbers rank compared to average PH submission? We don’t know, at least I haven’t seen such stats being published by PH. There was only one signup from Finland but 5 from Sweden. One thing that is striking me is the small number of Finnish companies in the signups. Notice that these are figures for the first 48 hours - we’re still receiving visits (and signups) from Product Hunt three weeks after the submission but those are not included in these numbers. The ‘other’ category contains signups (not in any particular order) from China, Australia, Croatia, Italy, Germany, India, Denmark, Israel, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Russia, Brazil, Netherlands, Turkey, Greece, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Sweden, and Finland. You can see it here shortly after it was posted: After pondering different alternatives we ended up to a tagline Screenful - Visualize your project progress on large screens. When posting to PH, you enter the name of the product and a tagline that is used to create an entry. Well, that was until we experienced Product Hunt. We were thrilled! We also tried some other similar sites - there’s plenty of those - but Beta list was by far the most active community. there’s no signup form available for everyone, but only beta invites or such.
Notice that Betalist only accepts products that are in beta i.e. We got 25 signups from there, which also resulted some early paying customers. We’ve blogged about our preparations for the product launch here and here.īefore that, we had “soft-launched” six months earlier at Betalist, another great community of beta testers.

This post is to share our experiences for those who are in the same situation, with some practical tips on how to make most out of you PH submission. We knew PH is an active community of early adopters but didn’t have any experience of it and therefore did not really know what to expect. Three weeks ago we officially launched our Agile team dashboard on Product Hunt after two years in the making.
