What are common mistakes to avoid on Product Hunt?

Wow amazing discussion Keep them coming 🫶🏼

Ignoring feedback is another huge mistake. The community here can offer invaluable insights if you’re willing to listen.

Not building an audience or creating buzz before the launch. Launching on weekends or holidays when engagement is typically lower. Using low-quality images, vague descriptions, or missing critical information. Not responding to comments and questions promptly. Making exaggerated claims that the product can't fulfill. Failing to maintain momentum post-launch by updating users or continuing engagement. Avoiding these mistakes can improve your chances of a successful launch.

For me, the most common mistakes on Product Hunt are skipping the prep work and ignoring feedback. Make sure you have a solid plan, engaging visuals, and a clear value proposition. Plus, always take the time to respond to comments and take suggestions seriously—it can make a big difference :)

Remember, on Product Hunt, avoid the classic blunders like posting at odd hours when everyone's asleep, forgetting to engage with the community, or trying to pass your product off as a cure for the common cold. Steer clear of those and you'll be on the road to Product Hunt glory in no time!

Not hyping up or sharing the product in discussions a few weeks prior.

Not keeping a list of everyone who said they would support. Life gets busy and it's important to remind supporters day of the launch.
