Enjoy the ride! Obviously not everyone can be #1 of the day or have a super successful launch, and that's ok. Focus on connecting with the community, meeting other makers and receiving feedback from your launch!

@nicolaas_spijker Thanks for the reply. I am launching my first product today and taking your advice to enjoy the ride.
Shivam Rathore
@nicolaas_spijker Yeah, completely agree with these points. Networking and community feedback is more important than the ranking and upvotes

@nicolaas_spijker This is a great advice! I've been stressing up about my launch but you're reminded me that it's a process and that it wont be defined by any single event. Thanks!

Launch with a hunter! Have your community and users support you.

@parekh_tanmay but Product Hunt says that it isn't help right now. It's a myth. Previously, when hunters launch a new product – their followers will receive notifications about it. But it isn't work right now.

@new_user_33896c12e1959 Thanks for letting me know. We recently launched through an Hunter and got a good response but it may be due to the fact of our users and community members helping out too. You can check the launch via https://www.producthunt.com/post... Do consider upvote :)

However, it's possible that our users and community members also had a key role in its success. We recently launched through a Hunter and received excellent comments[url=https://bestweedandfeed.com/how-...]

@parekh_tanmay @new_user_33896c12e1959 But, you will get benefitted from having a hunter is the hunter has a following on other platforms and he/she is willing to promote your product on those platforms.
Tanmay Parekh
@rick_fan for sure. You can create a list of people who are hunters or community leaders and get them to support you when you launch.

Pro tip — ask beta-testers to get their feedback as a testimonial. This way, you will have solid social proof before the launch.
Nadezhda Kuzmenko
Look for support the whole 24h of launching. When your competitors are sleeping you can boost!

My learnings: 1. Visit product hunt daily.(Even if its just 5 minutes) 2. Talk to other builders 3. Give feedbacks and received feedbacks

plan for what happens after the launch
Atticus Li
@nikolas_dimitroulakis This is really good advice. I think most builders are so focused on the launch and forget what happens after. Building a startup is a long journey.

Consistency gets you the best reward 💯

1. If you're a first-timer, launch on weekends 2. Build audience on SM platforms before the launch 3. Have a hunter who will promote your launch with their audience I run a newsletter where I interview successful creators of product hunt on their launch strategies and secrets. it might be helpful for you. Dropping the link below. https://tbbl.launchpedia.co/prod...

I don't know what is the best tip. On my viewpoint, it is a combination of numerous actions and executions included in a detailed plan. I'm also a newbie on product hunt and currently planning on creating a suitable plan/strategy for our mobile game launch: https://www.petgotchi.com/ Wish all the best for your launch!

Try becoming active and make connections with the PH community so you could get support at the right time :)

- Try to have a moderately polished version before you launch here - Keep engaging with people who comment on your launch - Make sure you are collecting useful feedback that will help you in improving the product - And most importantly have fun 🚀
Vasudev Soni
Mainly focus on building your community. If your community loves you, then definitely your product launch will be a success.
Harshavardhan Reddy
All the very best Networking and community feedback, Testimonials are more important
Toh Xue Zun
Great discussion, also looking for tips from the community.

Pro tip - send an email to your beta testers about the PH launch & ask them for support/feedback.

It is more blessed to give than to receive
