Hi Aaron! Welcome to the community. I've shared our team's tips here after our product became the #1 Product of the Day. Hope this helps :) https://www.producthunt.com/disc...

1. Engage and support 2. Engage and support 3. Engage and support
Lana Zivkovic
@pabloroig_clous does this mean support anything just to get attention and follow? Or support what you like and give your honest opinion? :)
Pablo Roig
@lana_dem No, quite the contrary, for me support doesn´t mean necessarily to upvote, you can give feedback or take a look in others product.
Aaron
@pabloroig_clous I usually try 3-5 products a day, I use those products, give my feedbacks. It's been really helpful for me so far.

For a Product Hunt launch, focus on building a community around your product beforehand, prepare thorough and engaging launch material, and actively engage with feedback during the launch day for the best impact.
Aaron
@chiara_sw Thanks. Does the launch day have greater impacts on success? I heard that I shouldn’t launch on weekdays.
Doron Nadjar
@chiara_sw what is the best way to build a community around the product before it launched?

Welcome to Product Hunt! I would advise you to build anticipation on social media to generate curiosity and excitement. Interact with the Product Hunt community. Respond to comments and upvote.
Aaron
@missglendia Thanks for the advices. Should I announce it 1 month beforehand? or less thn that?
Soumil Rathi
@missglendia @aaronnotion I've often heard people say that one month is the ideal time for a launch (it's the time period I'm waiting, atleast). So yeah, go ahead and announce!
Alvaro Villalba Perez
What does almost new mean? hahahha I'd say engage with the community and I'm sure we'll engage back! Warm welcome
Viola Schoell
That's a very good question, and I'm asking myself the same thing :) I'm also brand new to Product Hunt and am trying to network with the community here. I wish you the best of luck with your launch.
Viola Schoell

Aaron
@viola_s Thanks for your kind words. Are you planning on launching soon?

Product hunt : Step 1 - Find the day that u gonna launch ....... Monday/Tuesday lot of traffic but also lot of competition Friday&weeknd less competition but less traffic at the same time Step 2 - Find ur own hunter ....... ! = rare to find Have to book them in advance (1 month before) ....... Step 3 - Prepare ur hunter kit&launch Ideal time for launch on product hunt is TWO MONTHS = one month for preparation of the assets = one month warming up and building up the launch day ....... Step 4 - Engage with the community diff social media : best is linkedin ....... Step 5 - the day of the launch ....... 24h long day Be prepared Team&resources - be reactive to create engagement Message everybody u connected with ....... Step 6 - Post launch No stop ....... its from a part of my research, if anyone wants the rest of the info contact me on LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/loan...
Entering the Product Hunt community as a newcomer can be both exciting and daunting, but with the right approach, you can effectively launch your product and gain visibility among your target audience. Firstly, ensure that your product is well-prepared for its debut by thoroughly testing and refining it to meet user needs. Secondly, focus on building anticipation by engaging with the Product Hunt community beforehand through discussions, feedback, and networking. Lastly, leverage tools like AiToolsKit.ai to optimize your launch strategy, from crafting compelling product descriptions to enhancing your SEO and social media presence. By combining thoughtful preparation, community engagement, and strategic use of resources like AiToolsKit.ai, you can maximize your chances of a successful product launch on Product Hunt. https://bit.ly/product-hunt-AiTo...

I'd say be helpful, upvote and give useful feedback on the products. Engage other makers in the community and leave useful comments if you can. I'm in this phase as well and this is my strategy.
Rick Fan
Choose a good time to launch, try to participate more in community activities.
Mansi Trivedi
Make friends, participate and be consistent. 🤝🏻😊
Imran Razak
I think you need to do what’s best for you and your product. Look the advice is always in abundance but you need to figure out what’s the best approach for your product and your customers. Since that matters more than anything else.
Ashley from Shadow
Welcome to the community! Followed and excited to see your launch
Joseph Thomas
Ensure a compelling product description, use engaging visuals, leverage your network for initial traction, and actively engage with the Product Hunt community for feedback and promotion.
Lana Zivkovic
I would also add, test your product, make sure everything is working and it’s ready for launch 🚀 Good luck 😊🍀
Ethan Xu
Welcome to the PH community, Aaron! Make sure to build some buzz before you launch—engage with the community, get feedback, and refine your pitch so that on launch day, you're not just introducing a product, but telling a compelling story.
Aaron
@cen_xu Thanks Vincent. People don't buy a product, they buy a solution. So telling a story is really important.
Mehdi Djabri
prepare and start sharing at least 3 weeks before
George B. Aleesu
Keep engaging with the community and seek advice from successful makers on the platform! You're definitely @ the right place
Sanyo Tzeng
I have the exact same question. Thank you for asking and also thank the PH community for all the responses.
