    Well done! I'm curious: How did you spread out your outreach to get upvotes? Did you ask as many people as early as possible or did you ask smaller batches throughout the day?

    @zmiro As a marketing team, we used a daily time-block strategy to reach out to people. We used to hold small team competitions and award a prize to the person who reached the most people, which increased team motivation.

    @profy17 Try to find motivating and fun ways to involve your team as much as possible in preparing for the launch process, it is definitely teamwork. Preparing launch assets is also important. You should engage with the community to get the most out of it.

    Congrats! :) What's your main acquisition channel after the launch? Thanks!
    Elif Duran
    BeforeSunset AI
    @steve_lourdessamy The main channel is the hype that we created, people are coming directly mostly. We are focusing on SEO and social media activities and currently doing some trial influencer marketing to understand which channel is the best for us.

    Wow. Congratulations Elif. What was the best strategy that improved your promotion/exposure to the product?

    @omnathpp Thank you! I can say it was creating hype before the launch. People were very excited about what was coming, and they wanted to share BeforeSunset AI with their community too āœØ

    Why sometimes products with significantly lower upvote/comment count overtake other products?
    Zekiye Nur Kesici
    @alex_chepovoi While I can't be 100% sure, I do know that upvote values have to do with the profile. In Product Hunt, the upvote value of an active account, the number of followers, the number of streaks, and an account with more points are different from the upvote value of a newly opened account.

    @oxana_ivanova In 1 month, we reached to ā˜€ļø 7,400+ new users šŸ‘€ 38,300+ visitors The Product Hunt launch was the beginning point, that's why I can say it is more than just upvote numbers.

    @flora_wu Nice! Your product sounds cool as well. I used OpenAI through Langchain to build my database. The product itself has two modes - one powered by OpenAI and the second one is not.

    @olearningcurve Thank you, Luke! Actually, we had ongoing marketing efforts. We announced our launch with a press release and on all our social media platforms.

    @elifduran @rahul_aluri Time-blocking strategy for the product hunt launch process. We tried time-blocking for outreach and it both motivated us as a team and increased our efficiency.

    Elif, congratulations on this fantastic achievement! The journey of Before-Sunset AI's launch is truly motivating and offers a lot to learn from. Thank you for sharing your experience! With SayData's launch just a week away, scheduled for August 17th, I would greatly appreciate any insights you can provide regarding effective outreach strategies to enhance our pre-launch support. Your guidance means a lot. Feel free to take a look at our launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... Thank you so much for your valuable support, Elif!

    @shekhar_kushwaha I'd recommend reading our Product Hunt (PH) launch blog and watching the webinar. There are tips that you can utilize. In short, I'd suggest remaining as active as possible in discussions, engaging, and conversing with the community.
