Prepare Your Assets: • High-quality images, videos, and a compelling description are crucial. Make sure these assets clearly communicate what your product does and why it matters. 5.

Hi Rupal! On July 20th, we will broadcast a live webinar titled "How to get 1st place on Product Hunt" which should be useful for you and anyone looking for a strategy, and practical tips on the platform. As always, there will be a Q&A session at the end where we will answer any burning questions you might have. This comes from first-hand experience launching our own product (Beep 2.0) in December and getting "Product of the Day" plus other titles in different categories. If that sounds like something you'd want to attend, here's the link: https://lu.ma/esorwuhz Hope to see you there!
