Make your launch day link count

The visitors you forget about

On launch day, people who like your product click through to see who made it. They land on your profile and then your website link. If that link goes to the product they just saw, you lose the chance to show them everything else.

A makerhandle page shows the launched product first, featured with a large card or in the Spotlight template, then your other projects below. Curious visitors find your other work, and you get more than one shot.

Watch it happen in realtime

Analytics include a realtime view, so you can watch visitors arrive as the launch picks up. Sources show Product Hunt, X, newsletters and Hacker News separately, and you can tag links with UTM parameters for each place you post.

Afterward, compare the launch week with the previous period to see what actually stuck. See analytics.

Collect the people who are not ready to buy

Most launch day visitors will not sign up that day. Turn on the subscribe box so they can get updates by email, with double opt-in, or a button to your newsletter. Subscribes count as goals in your stats, so you see how many you gained per source.

If the product sells through Stripe, show its verified MRR too. A launch with real numbers stands out.
