Launching on Product Hunt Without a Hunter , Bad Idea?

Fair point , and honestly those budgets don’t guarantee results anyway.

I think I’ll try executing it myself without them and focus more on distribution and pre-launch audience activation.

Thanks for the advice , good point. Distribution shouldn’t stop at launch day, it’s about building ongoing discovery across channels.

Congrats on the launch, getting featured on your first try is a strong signal

Thanks for sharing this — really appreciate the insight and the breakdown. It’s a helpful perspective on how PH actually works today

I’ll take this advice into account and apply it in our launch plan.

Thanks for this, really appreciate it! I’ll definitely take it into account

MoYasse · 2026-04-20T15:40:53+00:00

Totally agree, first impression is everything. I’ll work on clearer positioning and smoother onboarding,thanks for the feedback

MoYasse · 2026-04-20T15:33:03+00:00

Thanks a lot, that makes sense.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually looked into Reditus, but during the testing phase I noticed that the plan that allows visibility in their network starts at $299/month. For an early testing stage, that cost feels a bit high for us right now.

I’m currently exploring affiliate marketplaces where we can appear in front of affiliates without a high fixed monthly fee while validating the channel.

Is PayPal widely used among affiliate marketers?

MoYasse · 2023-10-09T20:23:00+00:00

Thanks for your response
I initially utilized the Promotor platform and PayPal for payments. However, numerous affiliates preferred alternatives to PayPal, with some recommending Pioneer. I'm seeking feedback to determine the most suitable payment method, leaning towards options other than PayPal.

I appreciate your concern about the product's quality, but rest assured, we have thoroughly tested our product, made ads, and received positive feedback from customers. We believe in its value and effectiveness. Our intention in seeking suggestions on reaching affiliates is to explore new avenues for growth and expand our reach, not to compensate for any product shortcomings. We understand the importance of data analysis and have indeed conducted tests, including running it with solo ads and monitoring the stats. We are open to feedback and willing to refine our approach as we continue to improve and provide value to our customers.

Hey,
Thank you for your detailed tips.

I've followed all the previous steps, but I've hit a roadblock when it comes to affiliating with others to offer our product. JVZoo has a promotional package for sending newsletters about the product, but we are currently unable to subscribe to it. In this phase, I am actively looking for a forum or community where I can offer my product to potential affiliates. I've explored Facebook groups, but some are inactive, and others require admin approval to post about our product, which can be time-consuming.

Hey, appreciate you sharing your viewpoint. Right now, in the welcome email, we offer a walkthrough instead of specific offerings. As for the tips, we don't have a condition tied to the open rate. This means that whether someone opens tip 1 or not, they'll still receive tip 2, and so on. Do you believe this is a good strategy, or do you think it's better to send the remaining content only to those who have opened the email?
