#1 on Product Hunt! Some things I learned

Hey everyone,

I was #1 on Product Hunt yesterday with Potion. The community was amazing with how they came out to support my product.

I wanted to give back as much as I can!

So I created a 20 minute video going in depth into...

  • The Results
  • Why I think it went well
  • Tips for YOUR PH launch!

But first, here are the basic stats from the launch:

  • 812 upvotes
  • Drove 2.8k views to http://potion.so
  • 127 signups (this is just email)
  • 39 signups with CC up front. (people that actually added their credit card and continued to the product).
  • 14 Potion websites created!

And these are just the #'s from the 24th! People are still rolling in!
Will be interesting to see how the following days are.

    Congrats on your launch! Late to the party, but just made it a 1k upvotes ✌️

    I've been thinking about migrating from GH Pages to Webflow, but I think I'm gonna give Potion a go first 🙂

      Thanks for doing that! Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be glad to help!

        Sure thing, I’ll try to set the website around the weekend, so I’ll come back with some feedback about the experience :)
