#Episode 6 of the Series: 📝 15 Unexpected Places to pitch as UGC creator
When I first started, I pitched to an indie app developer who had just launched on Product Hunt. I loved their app’s unique feature that let users customize their own to-do lists. I sent a heartfelt email, pointing out specific comments from users who loved the feature. I suggested creating a series of short videos where real users show how the app improved their productivity. The developer loved the idea and within a month, we saw a significant increase in user engagement and downloads.
