[THREAD] About my @ProductHunt launch.

Yesterday(October 17th) I launched my first project ever on PH, and my project has been on the front page in top 15 for 24 hours. I had a total of 114 upvotes. Pretty satisfied about it, although I will aim for top 5 my next project.

 This thread will be about what I went through as a rookie and what I have learnt from this first experience.

First things first. I think launching a product on PH is stressful for everyone, but i had a whole another stress because of two things:
I am a student and I live in France, so when I posted on PH just after midnight for San Francisco time, it was early in the morning here.
So I was in class using my school computer, refreshing time to time to see how @makertask is doing 😅
Let me show:
It was important for me to be online and aware of whats going on around my product, for a few reasons all first timers should be careful about:

1)Our products as indies can almost never be perfect at launch, so it mat crash, server can go down, someone could attack your website.
About that last one by the way. Although yeah most people are awesome and are willing to try your project peacefully, give feedback and help you out. Some people are just bad, and will try SQL injections, spam your contact forms..
For example, my email forms were attacked via jS:
I rapidly understood how the attacker was doing this so easyly, and i rapidly fixed this.

2nd) reason you should be available is to promote your producthunt page anywhere you can. I know almost noone but @yesnoornext @marie_dm_ @firatdemirel were among those who gave me a push🙏🏻
Their initial RT and favs placed me to between 10-20 ranking rapidly. From there producthunters I don’t even know upvoted my product frequently enough for me to keep 15th place for a longtime.

This is important because, if you are among top 20, you are more visible
That's me recording a video in french (sorry about that), to explain my girlfriend why I am so excited about being before the "Show more"

Anyways, my kinda not bad ranking helped me get these results:
Lots of things I don't know about analytics. I don't know what is good, what isn't. But one thing I am sure of is the 52% rebound date. That means half the traffic I had just saw my landing page and quit right after 🤨
At some point in the day, it was around 8:00 in the morning for San Francisco, and my traffic was increasing more and more, but nothing was happening, The only 2 tasks listed on makertask were mine. This sucked, because there wasn't enough content for people to see.
I knew I had to change something. I asked a few designers in a slack chat and found out the way I explained what makertask was about wasn’t clear for most of them. It was lunchtime and I was getting back home in a tramway🚈.
I updated my homepage, and the whole About this page.
Below is a comparison of the first and updated version of my landing page.

LEFT(Updated, actual) / RIGHT(old, first version)
I had asked in the designers slack group I mentioner earlier in this thread, "Why everyone quits my page right after landing, what should I change in my design ?"
And someone answered: Your design has no value if your wording sucks. Huge thumbs up to that guy from Vancouver. 👍
Notice how I only added a few emojis to make it more attractive and changed the whole "About makertask" to "👉How it works." ?

All this happening while I was in the tramway for around 45 mins btw(You can't afford to lose that time when you are on PH and have class all day long).
Here is what that gave me.

The plan for me was to take the user from index.php(landing) to about.php(where I explain how this collaborative platform works) to finally 👉🏻free.php

LEFT(about.php) / RIGHT(free.php)
And it began working🚀🚀.

Here you can see free.php and about.php were among the most visited pages right after the landing page.

(For your information, the ref producthunt link landed to index.php so to my landing page)
Free.php is the page where makers fill the form and list a new task on makertask. As more people visited this page, the first task from someone other than me was listed.
I also found out, someone hunted makertask on a website I didn’t even know existed.
You know when you launch a product and results come slowly(that is most of the time!!), you begin doubting about your product.

These kind of feedbacks help you stay strong in the game.

Don’t hesitate to take a few minutes and tell a maker their product is good if you think it.
Than it was late in France (past midnight).

So I slept.
And woke up to more producta listed.

Througout today(day after launch) I still have quite good traffic(250+ visitors, 10% returning users)

And as of right now there are 6 tasks paying a total of 380$ + ?
I believe the story of my launchday ended now.

A few hours ago a developer from India sent an email through my website to @jeffeisley to help him about a custom ghost theme he needs.

This is awesome. This is why I have built @makertask
It feels good to know what I took the time and effort to build actually has the potential to help both a maker and a developer who maybe just needs some cash.
If you have a task you would pay to get done with too,

or if you can translate a chinese app to english for 100$ 🤑

This is made for you👇🏻

Thrikkangode Sree Randu Moorthy Temple
Ottappalam, Kerala. 🚩
#keralatemples

This is very unique temple as Shiva and Vishnu both are in the “linga” form in the same Garbhagriham. The Srikovil is in a circular pattern. Temple's Prathishta was done by Parasurama.


Mahadeva and Maha Vishnu in the same Srikovil is very rare Prathishta, but poojas are done separately Dhara is done to Maha Vishnu here. People suffering from “KAIVISHAM” and mental illness are fully cured on drinking a medicinal herb supplied by a nearby family here.


The root of the banyan tree around the Ayyappa Sannidhanam is said to have great powers for skin ailments.

Very ancient temple but was covered with forest for many years.
Later two persons Chakki and Chaathan, while cutting trees their axe hit on the nearby
@SriramKannan77


Vigrahams and it suddenly started bleeding. Later Devaprashnam was held and thus found out that these were murthy's of Shiva and Vishnu which was worshipped long back. And thus temple is constructed here.

MAHARAANI TARARANI: THE QUEEN OF MARATHAS

Rani Tarabai was the brave daughter-in-law of Chhatrapati Shivaji and one of the greatest medieval Monarchs India ever had.
She was born in 1675 to one of the bravest commander-in-chiefs of Shivaji's Army named Hambir Rao Mohite.


Tarabai was just 8yrs old when she was married to Shivaji's younger son, Rajaram. Mughals and Marathas were constantly at war with each other. Shivaji was crowned the ruler of the Independent Maratha Swarajya in 1674 which was established by him.


However,the great leader died in 1680&the Maratha Samrajya went into a complete&total chaos.Marathas saw some very tough times ahead. In 1689,when Raigad Fort fell to the Mughal Army of over 15000,Shivaji's first wife Saibai and his elder son Sambhaji were captured&put to death.


Sambhaji's wife and son Shahu were taken prisoners to the Mughal court. During the same battle, Shivaji's second son Rajaram(Tarabai's husband) , who was the heir to the throne now, managed to escape using a disguise. He made his way to the Gingee Fort in Tamil Nadu.


Mughal General Zulfikar Khan, however, followed them to Gingee laying siege to the Gingee Fort. From 1690-1698,This was the longest siege by a Mughal Army of any Fort which stands testimony to the military and diplomatic credentials of Rani Tarabai.

Secrets of Ganapati (Author - Keshav Sitaram Thackeray)

This article is taken from Keshav Sitaram Thackeray's book 'Dharmachi Devale and Devalcha Dharma'. In it, Bal Thackeray's father is claiming how the Hindu deity of Ganesha is imaginary.
(1/20)

Buddha is Ashtavinayak and "Ganapati Bappa Morya" is "Chandragupta Morya".

In the era of democracy, the head of state is the President. But in ancient India, there was a Gana culture in the monarchy and the head of that Gana was called Ganapati
(2/20)

In ancient India, a prince named Siddharth Gautam was born in royalty. He later became the king of Shakya Gana in this Gana culture. In time, Siddhartha attained enlightenment.

Let us now understand the difference between a real Ganapati and an imaginary Ganapati.
(3/20)

Some clever Brahmin manuvadis made the real Ganapati the imaginary Ganapati.

Buddha was the king of the Shakya Gana, so people called him Ganaraja. He founded Buddhism and became the head of the Shakyas. As the head of Gana, people used to call Buddha as Ganapati.
(4/20)

But the Brahmins Brahmanized Ganapati and created a false Ganapati. When Buddha used to give the message of Dharma to the people, two words would come out of his message. Chitta and Malla.

Chitta is the body.
Malla means waste

1. “Who Are Ireland’s Members Of The World Economic Forum Implementing The Great Reset In 2021 ? 🧵1/28

🕵️🔎 Politicians, Musicians, Clergy, Bankers, Journalists, Human Rights, Artificial Intelligence, Sustainability, Corporations & Agriculture


2. In previous threads I have looked at 🇮🇪 key players in the Trilateral Commission as well as 🇮🇪 people who have attended the Bilderberger meetings. I also looked at the 🇮🇪 in the Young Global Leaders which is a site run by the WEF. You will see a lot of crossover between them.

3. The purpose of this thread is to compile all the Irish members into one thread for ease of access and reading rather than having to dive through the WEF site. This is by no means definitive and I will be adding more over time when they pop out of the woodwork.

4. Ireland’s WEF members are drawn from all walks of life but can be split into 2 separate areas. The WEF calls the first category “people” and the 2nd one “agenda contributors”. In total Ireland has a minimum of 61 members. Some of the names will be familiar and others will not

5. In this thread I’m just going to concentrate on the 21 people (there are probably a lot more). There are also 40 “agenda contributors” which I will cover in a separate thread. The agenda contributors are those who write articles or do research for the WEF site.

Your Most PRECIOUS Currencies:

-Energy

-Time

-Attention

-Trust

-Love

-Loyalty

-Respect

Only give these currencies to high value people. Never spend these currencies on low value shitheads eg: trolls, weasels, snakes, naysayers etc.

'Wait, I thought money was the most important currency?'

Nah.

Once you adopt abundance mentality, you realize their is no shortage of money.

Making the dollars your most important currency will have you leading an empty life.

Time to flip your perspective.

👇

▪Energy

When you strip yourself to the core, you are an emotional creature.

Emotions are your internal worlds energy.

Harnessing that energy is crucial for leveraging yourself to obtain whatever you want.

You have a finite amount everyday, so spend it wisely.

▪Time

A second that is lost will never be returned.

You start valuing the hell out of this currency the more you mature.

As the years start adding up, you realize time is precious.

You must always have a scarcity mindset towards time.

Once you do so, you will not be lazy.

▪Attention

You can be here, but not present.

Attention is completely mental.

Giving someone your attention means you are clearing up mental bandwidth to make room for them.

Only give your attention to people who help you grow.

For the negative ones?

Ignore their existence

❤✈️🌎 2 years ago today @JamesIvings and I sold all our belongings and left the UK to travel for a year. We've never been happier and we have no plans to ever return there 🙂

Thread 👇

Since then we've started a remote web dev company @SquarecatWebDev and been lucky enough to have completed several freelance projects 💻 that have kept us on the road.

In the last few months we've become a huge part of this amazing new Maker community and have found so many new friends from @makerskitchen, @women_make_ and several others! 🥰

We love travelling together (even if I'm only a glorified laptop watcher 😒) but we're both much happier being able to share our ideas outside of our own little bubble and our products have benefitted too!

Here's to another year of nomading with my favourite person and to the Maker community continuing to grow with our help! Maybe one day we'll all get to meet each other ✌️ 💛
