Frequently Asked Questions

How should I use affiliate tracking with a Product Hunt launch?
Set up Trackli before launch day. Give your supporters and beta testers affiliate links to share when they upvote and comment. The combination of PH visibility and tracked referral links turns a one-day launch into an ongoing acquisition channel.
Can I offer special commission rates for launch day?
Yes. Trackli supports time-limited commission bonuses. Set a higher rate for launch day and the following week, then automatically revert to standard rates. This creates urgency and incentivizes intense promotion during your launch window.
How do I convert Product Hunt supporters into affiliates?
After your launch, email your PH supporters with an invitation to your affiliate program. Offer them a compelling commission rate and highlight that they can earn money by continuing to recommend the product they already supported.
Does Trackli handle high traffic during Product Hunt launches?
Yes. Trackli's infrastructure is designed for traffic spikes. Product Hunt launches can drive thousands of visitors in hours, and Trackli processes every click and conversion in real time without degradation.
Can I track conversions from my Product Hunt page months later?
Yes. Product Hunt pages rank well in Google and drive long-tail traffic. If someone discovers your product through PH months after launch and clicks through an affiliate link on the page, Trackli attributes the conversion correctly.
