We won Product of the Week - 5 tips so you can too!
After an exhausting launch, Sleek Pay won Product of the Week!
How we did it - 5 tips:
1) Be active in PH months before launch, creating relationships with other hunters
2) Get involved in PH micro-communities. Find your people and support each other
3) Speak to / DM successful hunters on Twitter & LinkedIn for advice (but can't be annoying about it, be genuine & mutually helpful)
4) Online right at 12:01am PST. The first few hours are critical
5) Always have at least one person on the team responding to comments
Everyone will have their own strategy, but sharing a few pointers for the broader community!
THANK YOU to everyone who supported us! Really love the PH community, and can't wait to keep sharing Sleek Pay!

Can you expand on the micro-communities? How do you find those?

@julia_putzeys Tbh... its hard. Keep being active in the community forums. Send direct messages to folks you're connecting with. Post discussions you think similar-minded folks will connect to. There's no right or wrong answer - be creative and consistent :)
First of all Congratulations for cracking a big milestone!
Handful of tips coming from an experienced maker is quite insightful, thank you Daniel for sharing it with us.
Also this Product is SMART! Wishing you all the success for your future endeavours.
@alessandro_canella Thanks for the kind words! Would love for you to give Sleek a try (if you haven't yet) - find us at https://www.onsleek.com/
You forgot a big one — have a great product like Sleek Pay! There's no faking that part. 🤠
Thanks for the tips. I'll def apply these to our launch coming up later this year. Congrats on a great launch day and best of luck!
@jonathan_nass Hahah thanks Jonathan! We're still in the early stages though, lots of room to improve... as I'm sure with all PH launched products! Please give Sleek Pay a try and share any feedback you have :)
Congrats on your success, @daniel_baum! I'm preparing for a V2 Launch of my product later this year and have been trying to engage with the PH community much more deliberately this time around! 🤝😁
Wow congrats! And thanks for the advice. How well do you think the product should work before releasing it on PH? We just soft launched our MVP and is getting the first Beta testers into the application - but it is far from ready.
@kaspian we launched our MVP of Outdone last December and got great reception (#5 product of the day + headline in the daily newsletter)!
There's no harm in launching. It was such an awesome way to get tons of users to our LP to provide feedback. And that inspired/encouraged us to set out building the new version that we will be launching soon.
@kaspian @jonathan_nass I generally agree with Jonathan - early feedback, even on an MVP, can be really worthwhile - but I will say that arguing with a working product may be more helpful in driving users. Depends what your goal is
@jonathan_nass @daniel_baum I think we are pretty far from finding our exakt target market and also how the product should be used. We are experimenting now with different kinds of personas and various use cases. I believe we need to have a little more confidence in one persona and one use case before launching broader. Otherwise it feels like the churn will be too high.
Thanks for the advice!
@imanmoaz I like the 3rd bullet point, sounds like a good idea
@dan_yes thanks Daniyar! I know a couple of people in my network who have done a successful launch
Congrats! And thanks for being at the helm of community building here with setting up the support sheet. Love this community helping each other out.

Thank you for the tips, Daniel and congrats!
Could you share what was the most challenging for you and your team about launching?
@shakhmetava_natallia Thanks! Trying to garner support on different time-zones can be difficult - I was online and ready at 2:30am! So try to connect with folks around the world beforehand to maximize the odds of support at all 24hrs of the day
