How to submit

Curated guide
  1. 1
    Create your product page

    Sign in and add a product at /products/new. Include logo, URL, description, and revenue/stage if you’re comfortable sharing.

  2. 2
    Share your founder story

    IH audience responds to how you built it, pricing experiments, and lessons — not feature dumps. Cross-post a “milestones” or “launch” thread in the community.

  3. 3
    Engage in relevant groups

    Comment in SaaS, AI, and self-promotion threads where appropriate. Blatant spam gets removed; genuine participation drives profile visits.

  4. 4
    Post updates over time

    Treat IH as an ongoing channel. Monthly revenue or user updates keep your product visible in community feeds.

  5. 5
    Link from your site footer

    Many founders add their IH product page as social proof — it can send reciprocal discovery traffic.

Best practices

  • Revenue transparency (even small MRR) dramatically increases interest.
  • Respond to every comment on your launch post within 24h.

SEO notes

Dofollow link from a high-DR community domain. Moderate SEO value plus sustained founder-audience traffic.
