Assuming I have no traffic from anywhere else, how many product hunt followers do I need for top 3?

Question

I really want to hit top 3 products of the day, I have some following on other socials, but I want to be pretty sure of that top 3 spot

How many followers would you recommend having before launching if you were me? Thanks in advance!

launch on a weekend and you'll be nr.1 ;)

You can visit https://www.producthunt.com/time... and look at previous days. See the number of upvotes of the top 3 products. It depends what other products are launching on the same day, but I opened some random ones, and looks like you need ~700 upvotes. With that you have a good chance being in top 3.

I also think its important to understand - Most upvotes doesn't directly equate to POTD. Be mindful that their system isn't super binary with respect to rankings.
