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 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!
@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.
Here are some of my notes for Vzy launch
https://producthunt.com/upcoming...
Before Launch
- Use Product Hunt Ship
- Improve landing page and onboarding flow
- Curate testimonials, talk benefits not features
- Schedule to post at 12:01am PT
- How it works video with founder
- Great intro post with storytelling angle
Launch Day
- Tweet, Email, Post across channels at 12:02 PT
- Respond and upvote comments to build momentum
- Host a Twitter Space
- Keep your eye on conversions
- Add PH badge to your site
Post Launch
- Thank your supporters across channels
- Link to PH in your posts and emails
@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.
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.

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 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 🚀
