First launch on Product Hunt. Its' scary AF!

Hey community - we'll be launching our product on Product Hunt mid-January - whereas we got everything straightened, it feels like a freaking big leap of faith to me and my co-founder. Would love to hear your opinion on what we did and if it would be enough to at least land in top 10 products: 1) We got a community of 3k early adopters from our pre-launch waitlist, about 30% of them are active. Will send them an email newsletter around our launch 2) We got around 350 early clients we sold Lifetime Deals to before switching to subscription model. These folks will receive personal emails and pings on social. 3) Our email newsletter (mostly from lead magnets) has around 750 folks. Thinking of sending them a request to upvote as well. 4) Family, friends, employees (yea, we got 3 employees as bootstrapped SaaS!) will also upvote. What are things we missed? Still have 2 weeks to go :-)

First of all, congrats on taking the leap to launch on Product Hunt! It's totally understandable to feel a mix of excitement and nerves, but it sounds like you've got a solid plan in place. Here are a few additional suggestions to consider: 1) Engage your community: Encourage your active early adopters to spread the word within their networks. Word-of-mouth can be a powerful driver of engagement and upvotes on Product Hunt. 2) Leverage social media: Consider creating engaging content related to your upcoming launch and encourage your followers to support you on Product Hunt. 3) Reach out to industry influencers: If there are influencers or thought leaders in your space, consider reaching out to them and sharing your product. Their support could go a long way in boosting visibility. Overall, it seems like you've covered a lot of ground and have a strong foundation for a successful launch. Best of luck with the final preparations, and I'll keep an eye out for your product on Product Hunt!

Launching a product on Product Hunt can indeed be nerve-wracking due to the exposure and expectations. Remember, it's an opportunity to showcase your creation to a tech-savvy audience. Prepare well by having a clear and concise description, captivating visuals, and engaging with the community to share your passion and vision. Embrace feedback, be authentic, and focus on creating a dialogue rather than just promotion. Your enthusiasm and genuine connection can resonate positively with the Product Hunt community. Good luck with your launch!

Your list looks really good to me. You could of course try to get some more followers here on PH, e.g. by posting and commenting in this community.
