a single source, nothing corroborates it
Expect little if nobody knows who you are
A listing from a maker with no list and no following collects a couple of dozen votes and stops. The exposure and the link from a very strong domain are still worth having, so post it, but do not plan around the launch producing users. The audience you bring is the whole mechanism.
The method
- 01
Post to Product Hunt for the visibility and the link from a very strong domain, but do not expect much from it without an existing audience or list.
- 02
A Product Hunt launch with no audience behind it does almost nothing, which is the argument for building the audience before the launch rather than after.
What it returned
- 91
The site's domain rating is given as 91.

No roundup of links, no news. Three tactics more than one builder arrived at separately, with the numbers each one returned and the disagreements left in.
