Congratulations on your product launch mate!🐱🏍
The landing page you've created is amazing and really easy to navigate for users. I love the way you described all features of the product on your site.
Really inspirable for small Saas owners!
Thank you Rajesh. Appreciate your compliment.
Congrats on the launch!
How did you decide when the best time to launch your product on Product Hunt was? I don't mean day of the week, I mean in terms of the stage that your product is in.. I'm sure there's still heaps of improvements you want to make to the extension, so why did you choose now to launch on PH?
Thank you for your kind words. I believe there's never a "perfect" time; it's best to just choose a day and go for it. Setting up a Product Hunt teaser can be very beneficial. Waiting too long can be detrimental and might mean the product never sees the light of day.
We launched on a weekend, and it turned out to be a good decision. Weekends or Mondays seem to be favorable choices. One vital lesson from my 15 years in IT is that software can never be flawless. Addressing bugs is an ongoing journey.
Thanks for the reply! I was referring to the stage of your product though, not the day of the week :)
No problem.
Congratulations on the launch! The product looks fantastic and I can see why it went well. It's immediately obvious how much value it provides.
I just have a couple of questions:
Best of luck!
Thank you so much Dylan.
1). We give people 10 tries when they install the product, and after that we charge 10 bucks a month. We are working on adding the pricing details on the page.
2). We use multiple LLMS ( plan is to have a custom LLM in the future )
Thanks. I ask because I'm also making a product that uses an LLM. Currently I'm paying for ChatGPT but I'd like to experiment with other options in the future.
By saying you did no marketing, you mean you literally just posted it on Product Hunt and every single upvote was an organic reaction to the product? Didn't push it amongst your network at all?
Not really, created a teaser 10 days prior to the launch and engaged in discussions, that's all.
nice Job!
Where did most signups come from? Did you do any outreach before your launch?
signups came from PH, after the launch got successful, we are doing lots of outreach in reddit, twitter ads etc..
Ah, you created an ad on Twitter? That sounds interesting. How expensive was it?
We started doing it after launch, it is not no expensive.
Really nice job and cool product! If you were to do it all over again, is there anything you would have done differently?
Yeah definitely. maybe market it more and reach out to people in twitter and stuff like that..
Ah, good stuff! I have yet to loose my PH virginity, but I'm excited to hopefully launch something soon!
Congratulations on your launch!
Can you tell me if the people that turn on "Notify Me" for your teaser. Do these people get converted to followers or do we get upvotes for the same?
they did converted to followers.
Congratulations on your launch. Can you provide me with advice on how to make https://chatgptduo.com get more upvotes on product hunt? Thank you.
Set up a teaser about a week before your official launch and engage with potential users in discussions.
Key points to keep in mind:
Hi Jijo, great to see your AI achieving success on Product Hunt! My question for you is did you experience any failures/disappointments on your road to success and how did you deal with them? I ask this because I have had my fair share of products which have had tons of work invested into, but end up accomplishing rather little, and it gets quite discouraging so I'd like to be able to deal with that well. Cheers.
Indeed, I faced numerous setbacks. Both in my personal life and in aspects like team-building. For instance, before the Product Hunt launch, I didn't have a significant online presence. The whole process was complex and nerve-wracking, but I'm in a better place now.
A key takeaway from my journey that I'd like to share with everyone is: Trust in yourself, remain steadfast in prayer, and continue to push forward. The results will eventually materialize.
Feel free to ask if you have any more questions! You can also connect with me on Twitter: @jijojohnz.
