Launching tips and advice
Hey everyone,
I'm gearing up to launch my debut product on Product Hunt. I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have to make this a success. Thanks a bunch! 😊

Biggest tip I can give you for your launch day is to make some coffee and try to stay as late as possible. Things are bound to go sideways and it's better to nip problems in the bud. Good luck! :)

I'm launching tomorrow and most of the advice I've received saying I need to build a massive list of supporters in advance and then message them throughout the day. Also to be active in the comment section of your launch too.

"No hacks. Just hard work.
1. No tips will save you if you don't have a good product, clear website, and simple onboarding.
2. You can't ask for upvotes, mass message users, or DM strangers on messengers (WhatsUp, Telegram). The PH team removes fake upvotes, and you might get disqualified completely
3. Prepare all PH assets for your launch
4. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others' discussions).
5. Create your Coming Soon page. Share it on PH, Twitter, LinkedIn.
6. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch.
7. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
8. Clean your launch day and the day after that.
9. Check your website, analytics, and the onboarding process.
10. Check your welcome email sequence.
11. Engage in real-time.
12. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day.
13. DM people on your launch day with a reminder.
14. Join relevant groups and chats. Support people there.
15. Track your progress with tools like hunted.space or Product Wars 2
16. Prepare social media posts, announcements for communities, emails.
17. If you have a team, assign responsibilities.
18. If you have investors/current customers or work with influencers, send them a reminder before and on your launch day
19. Ask happy users and customers about reviews.
20. Analyze your results, share updates, and say Thank you"
Hope it will help you
Try the channels that work best for your product, then double on them and engage a lot during the 30 previous days to your launch
