Makers, what have you learned from first launch on Product Hunt?

Did the first launch around 7 months ago and learned quite q few things. 1-create a big community around your product 2- make sure you choose the right time. This includes the months, week, and day. 3- Create a nice interesting demo of your product. ( many prefer watching clips to reading texts. I see lots of people missing this. 4- On the launch day, call for support from your community as well as your team members. 5- Don't get disappointed if your product doesn't rank high.

Individual, one-on-one connections matter.

I have learned a ton from my first launch but my favourite one was "Validating solution is as important as validating the problem".

You should take your time to build your community

I realized building community is important. We created IAM Studio, in-app messaging solution It's hard to get to the company

After choosing the launch date, you still need to set up the banner. I overlooked this detail...

Connections on product hunt is key

Launching on Product Hunt taught me that preparation is key - from crafting a compelling story to engaging with early adopters, it's like coding: debugging on the go but with more emojis and upvotes involved!

Have not launched a product yet, but hope it will be done soon!
