hi there! has anyone used product hunt to launch and market their product? if so, pls dm me!!

I have not done that. But a friend of mine did and gained roughly 100 downloads and a few paying users. I'd recommend cold-emailing tech platforms like tech crunch and introducing yourself.

Sorry to interrupt. Is "introducing yourself" a tech platform? Do you have any link to share? Many thanks.

I'd say that don't launch without a very good plan. I'm preparing us for PH launch, too, which will be in a week or two and am using this checklist: https://phlaunchchecklist.com/. Totally worth the money! *I am not affiliated, not get any commission for my recommendation

I launched https://recall.wiki on product hunt earlier this year. Got about 493 website visits 157 signups. You definitely need a bit of a community to give you a boost in the early hours of the day.
