Do you follow a prelaunch to-do checklist for any upcoming launch ?

🖖 Hey guys! So many insightful ideas here. Check our story to discover how we reached 2000 upvotes, Product of the Day, a Golden Kitty, and a $4.5 million seed round. Godspeed to y'all! 🚀 👉 https://medium.com/sessions-us/a...

Pre-launch should mainly include a campaign for your upcoming product and mainly to find the audience that will support your product in the first few hours. Good luck!

We made an upcoming page about 5-6 months before the launch. Had a to-do list of features we wanted released before the launch. Then once we finished those we set a date 2 weeks out and let all our members know, reached out to my network, joined some launch support groups, etc. It's been a wild ride, and now we about to go live in about 30 minutes https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Absolutely! A pre-launch to do list is vital to stay on track with everything that needs to be done. 📍 I’d say the most important tasks 2-3 weeks out from a Product Hunt launch would be: 1. Start building your audience of supporters (and let them know the date of your launch) 2. Create your ship page (add it to your website, socials, etc) 3. Begin engaging with startup communities across PH, reddit, Slack, etc to spread the word. I wrote about this and other tips that I learnt when we launched SigmaOS last year, which helped us get Product of the Day. 🏆 https://blog.sigmaos.com/how-to-... Good luck with the launch! 🎉

Absolutely, We are still months ahead for this

Hey Sanat, It is very important to interact with and excite your active users before the launch. You should increase the excitement of your active users with various marketing strategies such as campaigns, new features, and discounts. If you don't have any active users, you should start building an audience now. You could try creating a Slack community. You should notify your audience of your launch date in advance and make sure they are joined to Product Hunt. You should create a countdown, you can use your website and social media for this. In addition, interact with your users in the channels where you create a countdown. It would also be good to review previously launched products in similar categories, take a look at the comments and questions. What did people like the most and what did they ask the most? Do you have these? Good luck!

All the best for the launch, here is what we learnt from going live yesterday 1. The community is incredibly positive and if you participate in discussions and share your feedback, you will be rewarded with the same support when you launch. 2. It helps to have a great Product Hunt mentor. Chris Messina hunted us and offered us invaluable guidance in the run up to our launch. It was so helpful to have an external perspective. 3. Invest time in creating a clear demo video. You want the community to understand who you are, what you do and why you do it immediately. We were thrilled to see comments on the clarity of our demo video. 4. Get organised and identify people who are qualified to support your launch. Let them know when you are going to launch so they’re ready to jump in and show you some support in those early hours. 5. Enjoy it! We’ve got just a few hours left of our launch but it has been such a great experience. Watching your team, users and community pull together to make it a success is really exciting. @lauren_thomas4 https://www.producthunt.com/disc...

I am planning on launching https://scraft.ai before the end of this year! I personally have been preparing for around a month by creating gallery images with figma, upload a 2-min onboarding video, etc!

In order to create the best possible checklist I follow prelaunch...Whether you want to learn more about personal finance or trade Stocks, Currencies, Commodities, and Indices our guides will help you.

Our list includes: 1. Defining the prelaunch and post-launch tasks 2. Email marketing 3. Engagement on PH 4. Follows ups from the launch day 5. Track of the reviews once launch is done

1. Create an upcoming page 2. Find a Hunter 3. Create Title, Tagline, GIF, and First comment 4. Start promoting the launch on social platforms. Also, I interview successful creators of Product Hunt on their launch strategies and plans. It might help you, dropping the link below https://tbbl.launchpedia.co/prod...

We're launching soon as well and some of the things I've prepared prior to 2-3 weeks were letting my audience know about the launch and coming up with some strategies and promotions. Also, the creative parts like screenshots and taglines as well! Good luck with your launch!

Looking forward to the insights.

I've never launched, but I've been following this guide from notion: https://www.notion.so/Product-Hu... For our upcoming launch. Hope that helps!

We followed a to-do list that included finalising our campaign, working with our hunter, and reaching out to our network in the product hunt community to let them know we were going live. We’re live today so we’ll let you know how we go!

Yes! But It's more 3-5 weeks than 2-3 weeks. If your audience is not familiar with Product Hunt, you should explain them the concept a long time before your launch and invite them to create an account. New comers (with a red inflatable balloon) will penalize your launch.

We are launching this week https://anania.ai/. Wish us a good luck!

thank you very much, we are ready to wait)
