🔥 I got 2000 new subscribers from my Product Hunt launch
THREAD...
Last week I launched Marketing Examples to Product Hunt.
✔️ 1,500+ upvotes
✔️ Product of the Week
✔️ Email list grew from 1,300 to 3,300
This is the step by step account of how I did it
Step 1 - Don't launch straight away
23rd May 2019 Marketing Examples v1.0 went live. The site had a few case studies, several bugs, and an email box which didn’t convert well.
The old version of me would have thrown it on Product Hunt straight away. But I decided to wait.
Why?
1) I didn’t want to waste my “turn” with the very first iteration of my site.
2) I didn’t want to launch in a vacuum. Product Hunt multiplies current momentum. Having a small following of “fans” on launch day goes a long way.
So I set myself a target.
✔️ 1000 email subscribers
✔️ 1000 twitter followers
And then I would launch. 70 days later I hit my target.
It was showtime.
