Notable quotes
“This is a great idea. I have one concern - how do you deal with Reddit's filters? Are you contacting them through a different account?”
@a Product Hunt hunter · Reddit Outreach Concerns
“ran the free search on a made up idea, a booking page for bike shops that shows the wait time. it said it looked in r/bikeshop and r/bicyclemechanics, but none of the 10 posts came from there, they were general scheduling threads. is "scheduling" pulling too wide?”
@a Product Hunt hunter · Reddit Outreach Concerns
“Automating leads on Reddit seems real neat! How do you think it compares with the current tools we have available such as vanilla ChatGPT or Claude? Congratz on the launch Ammar”
@a Product Hunt hunter · Comparison with AI Tools
“i always get stuck on what to write for a landing page. cool that Ghostlaunch handles that and the outreach. might finally stop staring at a blank doc and see if this random app idea of mine has any real traction.”
@a Product Hunt hunter · Landing Page Automation
“man, using Reddit for gathering high-intent leads is kinda genius. i was always nervous about jumping into threads to test ideas, might give it a shot with ghostlaunch and see if my next idea has any legs.”
