When is the best time of the day to be active on Product Hunt?

38
•
As I'm trying to be more active in the community, I'm curious to know when the best time to engage with you all is. Should I try to engage early in the day when launches are happening, half-way through the day when some steam is gone, or much later in the day after the hype of the day's launches is gone?

The timing of activity on Product Hunt can significantly impact your visibility and engagement. Generally, the best time to be active on Product Hunt is during its peak hours, typically between 8 am to 10 am Pacific Time, when the platform experiences the highest traffic and user engagement. However, it's also essential to consider your target audience's timezone and preferences. To optimize your presence on Product Hunt, you can utilize AI, SEO, writing, YouTube, and social media tools available on platforms like AiToolsKit.ai. These tools can help you craft compelling content, analyze trends, and strategize your Product Hunt campaign effectively, ensuring maximum impact and visibility for your product or service—all available for free on AiToolsKit.ai. https://bit.ly/product-hunt-AiTo...

@wajahat_aitoolskit Thanks for sharing this Wajahat! It's very comprehensive. How do you go about starting to create content and creating ideas for content if you haven't really started anything yet? Also, I'll definitely check out AiToolsKit!
@bingeisland I first do content research using "Trending topics finder" available on AiToolsKit.ai then I go to "Youtube trending videos Research tool" available on the same platform. After doing the research, I take help of "Youtube title, description and tags generator" tools of AiToolsKit.ai and then create content according to the trend. I then do social media marketing on Instagram using "Instagram trending hashtags generator" tool of AiToolsKit.ai I hope it helps.

due to the difference in time zones, i believe there is no "best time" on PH. just hop on when you're free

@ishawaheed Thanks for commenting. What makes you say that?

Interesting question I am always on here to see if I can provide some helpful answers. I always assume that good answer will naturally be upvoted and seen. Never really thought about the best time to be on this platform.
Brian Lawrence
@atticusli That's exactly why I posted this discussion. Hopefully we'll all see the preferred time for everyone to engage on Product Hunt 😅

Since users are globally and therefore someone in Japan joining after work can communicate with someone from Europe when its day for them, I would say it does not matter so much when you are active rather the content you engage with.

Brian, engaging early in the day when products are just launching can give you a great start, as you're part of the initial conversations and excitement. However, contributing later also has its perks, as you can offer more thoughtful insights after the initial buzz has settled and discussions have deepened.
Later in the day, after the hype of all the launches

@nabeel_amir I hear you. Why do you think so?

There are several periods - start when America wakes up, then Europe and Asia. The main activity is 2-3 hours at the beginning of each period. But I also recommend being in touch the rest of the time.

@sergeipetrov Ah, this is great advice. This sounds like how people interact with the different stock markets haha but it's great stuff!

Morning!

At 3AM. You always get that 3AM motivation.
Brian Lawrence
@huy_phan_anh_ha What exactly is that 3AM motivation? 😅

@bingeisland When you suddently wake up at 3AM and you just want to crank some work and pushups. It happens to me all the time.

Many users check Product Hunt in the morning as part of their daily routine, catching up on the latest product launches and updates https://theprayertimings.com/nam.... Posting during this time can help your product gain visibility among early risers and professionals starting their day.

Are you assuming that launches are early in the morning or you did research? 😊 Following, I’m curious too
Brian Lawrence
@lana_dem I actually saw a notice from Product Hunt when I was launching that they start the launches at around midnight. So I was going with that 😅
Swayam
Half way

@swayammi7 Thanks for sharing Swayam! Why do you say that?

Early engagement after the day's launches can be beneficial to catch initial attention, consider the midpoint of the day for sustained interactions as well. It allows for broader visibility beyond the initial rush and ensures you're part of ongoing conversations.

When considering Hobby Lobby shipping time it’s important to note that standard shipping usually takes between 5 to 7 business days. However, processing times can vary based on the order volume and item availability. For quicker delivery, options like expedited shipping are available, typically reducing wait times significantly. Always check the estimated delivery date during checkout for the most accurate information!

The best time to be active on Product Hunt is early in the morning, between 6 AM and 9 AM PST, when the platform resets and new products gain fresh visibility. If you're promoting something like anime last stand codes this timing helps maximize exposure across global time zones. It also allows for building momentum throughout the day, leading to higher engagement.
