Be much more active on PH, and try to answer discussions by mentioning that you'll launch soon. Creating a discussion about your launch and AMA can also help in your product awareness prior to launch.
- Share your launch on all your social media channels
- Reach out to your users / email list and remind them to upvote your product
- Ask your friends to upvote your product
- Always standby
- Monitor your analytics
- Keep the momentum going by continuing to promote and engage with your users
Create a launch checklist in advance, and set expectations for your key stakeholders as to how they can support you immediately after the launch. Then, all you have to do when the time comes is execute.
@paolo_keye That is indeed a great suggestion! I may have to take stock of my willingness to not be in the top 10 this time. Prepare for the next launch.
