    I'll be Launching Twinr in February on ProductHunt. For me, it is going to be first time experience launching on ProductHunt. What did you launch? and How was your experience? If you are launching for the first time, how's your preparing for it?

    - Number of Upvotes, - Frequency and periodicity of the UV coming in and any time gaps - Comments and engagement - especially answered questions by makers and response from users on makers comments - Network of the makers - Quality of the product 1. Make sure app is live and working as promised 2. Highlight any known issues upfront 3. Source audience within and ask for feedback - look at top PH hunters and user feedback - https://www.producthunt.com/visi... 4. Simplified screenshots 5. Identify a well known hunter to help you get right level of traction 6. Setup all day demo sessions and invite people during the launch, before and after 7. Users actually playing with your feedback and providing review comments around the launch time is helpful 8. Be organic, don't hire upvotes, No use. 9. Focus on organic user community and feedback - ranking is secondary 10. Goal is to get your user count go 2x during the 24 hours window. Promote in relevant LinkedIn and twitter groups. Quora or similar forums 11. Offer discount or lifetime deal as promotional for PH users in exchange for feedback and comments to improve the product 12. Focus on feedback that are exhaustive. Not 5 or 6 words messages. You need to have feedback that has several words from your users highlighting the quality of the product and problem you solve. 13. Not all PH users are in the domain of the problem you specifically solve. Hence create user community, ensure they are active in PH few days before launch, have them provide genuine comments and feedback that will help the product. 14. Provide visibility into future roadmap Getting 100 new users and 10 solid product comment is more useful than being #1 of the day in my opinion.

    My first launch was SaaS yearbook, and it won product of the day It was way better than I expected. The PH community is awesome! I didn't spend much time (compared to other launches). Mostly, I build case studies on Superus on how startups became unicorns, bought the hostname saasyearbook.com, and built a very basic website
