⚡ IL - Patio11's Law / What if your product is not featured on Product Hunt homepage

Hi Guys,
I created a discord server so we can all chat about everything we love. You can say that it's Indiehackers on Discord. Here is the link to join for Free.

In a 2017 case study, one company achieved an increase in organic blog traffic of 65.3% within 2 weeks by switching their blog from a subdomain (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) to a subfolder (e.g. domain.com/subfolder). 

Another went from essentially nowhere in the Google rankings for their target keyword to 57th with this change alone. And if you're wondering whether this still works in 2020, indie hacker Jon Hogg just did it and got a significant boost in traffic. 

So if your blog is languishing in a subdomain, consider making the switch. Then sit back and watch as your traffic (hopefully) climbs.

Now you can add multiple links and the character limit is increased to 280. After booking a sponsor slot, I will send you an email for ad-copy etc. Support us by sponsoring an issue sent to our 1625+ subscribers each week. (US audience: 74%) Book now →

It’s not surprising. Of the 3,000+ software companies acquired over the last three years, only 7% got TechCrunch, Recode, HN, or other mainstream tech coverage. Examples are: 

• ConvertKit - $24m/yr - 48 employees- 30% YoY growth
• Lambda School software companies - $10m/yr - 25 employees

• You can increase your cold email response rate just by adding this line recommended by Jason Cohen "Let me buy an hour of your time at whatever price you name". Almost no one asks for the money, but most of them reply back.
• Customer and client are two different words. 'Customer’ is more about a one-off operation which always involves money. On the other hand, the word ‘client’ describes something more long-term and ongoing. In a nutshell, customer = payments, client = relationships

Prasanna launched PrivJs on PH and got 50 upvotes but it was not featured on the PH homepage even after 6 hours. So he reached the PH team and politely asked them to feature the product on the homepage and they replied within 5 minutes and soon PrivJs got featured on the homepage.
