1. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others’ discussions).
2. Create your Coming Soon page as soon as possible. Share it on PH, Twitter, LinkedIn.
3. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch.
4. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
5. Clean your launch day and the day after that.
6. Check your website and the buyer's journey.
7. Don't panic.
8. Be ready for everything. The PH team didn’t launch my product on time.
9. DM people on your launch day with a reminder.

@franksondors Thank you so much, Frank!
This is a great summary @olenabomko ! The point 8 is a real nightmare.

@rahul_aluri Thank you so much! But now I'm prepared for everything on PH :)
Hey Olena,
Fantastic list, really well thought out! I've also launched a couple of products on Product Hunt, so here are a couple of additional points that might be useful:
Press Coverage: Try to line up some press coverage or blogs to coincide with your launch day. It not only adds credibility but also funnels in a different type of audience that you might not get from PH or social channels.
Engage in Real-Time: Have someone dedicated to real-time chat support or at least Q&A on your Product Hunt page. It can significantly improve your engagement rate and solve any issues users might have right away, making them more likely to upvote or try your product.

Great list!
Very good tips. I experienced once number 8. Anything can happen, really.
I would add the Reddit channels, I think they are very good for launch.

@iuliia_shnai Can you name them, please? 😊
These look really helpful, am gonna apply these on our launch next month!

@rosekamallove Happy to be helpful! Good luck 😊
Amazing list. I’d like to add that it doesn’t stop here. Try launching on other channels for example AppSumo if you’re offering a discount and be open to feedback. Goodluck to everyone launching soon

@alexey_anshakov Amazing!
I said it on another thread.. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day.
When we launched EnVsion we had good support during day time (UK based) but this support fizzled out in the evening and night.
We didn't get a deep enough bench of supporters past the evening and landing #11 product of the day. With 20 more votes we could have landed in #9 for instance.

Thanks for mentioning Invincible Product Hunters :)
Hi Olena, indeed, a very good summary. I would add another point - "To create a story around your product to make the potential user feel connected."
On another note, I am trying to build a community of serious makers and mentors and you would be a perfect fit as a founding mentor of the community. Can we connect?

@aditya_kumar_saroj Thank you very much! Of course, we can connect :) But I'm not open to mentoring proposals right now. Maybe I will in the future :)
