Getting upvotes from new Product hunt users won't help you. Upvotes are weighted according to some parameters like the account's age and karma.
So trying to make your user sign-up to Product Hunt won't help much.
You will be better off outreaching people who are actually active on product hunt. Check who already upvoted similar products and connect with them on LinkedIn. Message them on the day of the launch.
@fabian_maume Hi Fabian,
I'm appreciate your comment!
The goal is to ask our users to create an account three weeks before the launch date, is that not enough?
@fabian_maume@ben_bohbot Yep, agree with Fabian. I saw it in my own launch. The upvotes of people who came here to support us or who weren't active users didn't count or could disappear.
Therefore, it's best to interest active PH users in your product.
When it comes to people creating profiles 3 weeks in advance then they would need to be actually active all 3 weeks and gather points
@cherieyang Hey, Cherie! This is the blog post I wrote: https://www.reskript.com/post/wh.... And what we did was send a shortened version to our newsletter. I'll check the open and click rate and will reach out to you again! We did it with a short amount prior to the launch (one week) so I don't think it had much impact
@ben_bohbot Hey Ben, I'd love to hear how it went! 3rd place sounds awesome! Did you end up seeing results from people with new accounts? Or did you end up focusing on people with existing PH accounts?
