10 non-trivial tips to win #1 Product of the Day

Hey, Product Hunt community 👋 During this summer we started an Indie Entrepreneurship journey with https://www.makerbox.club/ Since then, we got #1 Product of the Day for MakerBox Frameworks and #2 Product of the Day for MakerBox Tools. It's time to share 10 non-trivial tips, that helped us to win 🏆 1. Give away on Twitter before the launch. ✔️ Make a free part of your product ✔️ Send it in DM for comment ✔️ Write these people on the launch day. If they enjoy the free part, they'll support you! 🎯 100 comments -> 100 potential upvotes. 2. Prepare your Twitter profile. ✔️ Twitter cover ✔️ Bio ✔️ Kitten glasses 🎯 The target is to increase the visibility of the Product Hunt launch. 3. Choose the launch date. ✔️ Monday is great to launch a content product. We launched on Monday at 12:01 am PST. ✔️ Tue, Wed, Thu - colossal competition. ✔️ Fri, Sat, Sun - low traffic. 🎯 Choose the day according to your targets. 4. Use all distribution channels. ✔️ Indie Hackers ✔️ Reddit ✔️ LinkedIn ✔️ Facebook ✔️ Polywork ✔️ Slack ✔️ Discord ✔️ Hacker News 🎯 Post announcements, participate in discussions, and distribute across relative groups. 5. Prepare the distribution plan beforehand. ✔️ Plan every time slot and distribution channel. 🎯 It'll help you stick to the plan and be calm. 6. Create hype around the launch. ✔️ I wrote 45 tweets on the launch date. It's not the limit. 🎯 Everybody should know about the launch. 7. DM twitter friends (only friends 😅). Don't try to DM every Twitter user, that's insane. ✔️ Write to people you've had a conversation with before. 🎯 They know about your product and will be happy to know the updates - especially the Product Hunt launch! More upvotes! 8. Engage in comments on Product Hunt. ✔️ The number of comments adds visibility. 🎯 The target is to stand out from competitors. Also it's a pleasure to receive compliments and answer back! 9. Analyze the dynamics. ProductWars shows the statistics in real time. ✔️ See the traction, forecast, and speed. 🎯 Forecast is a sign to plan extra distribution if needed. And watch out for suspicious growth... ⬇️ 10. Don't ever try to buy fake upvotes. Dynamics will show all the cheats and fake upvotes will be removed. ✔️ Write to support if there's something suspicious. 🎯 Fair game should be a goal for everyone. But always control it. That's it! Hope it'll help you to get your next #1 Product of the Day! If you have anything to add, please share in comment 😊
