No hacks. Just hard work.
1. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others' discussions).
2. Create your Coming Soon page. 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 onboarding process.
7. Check your welcome email sequence.
8. Engage in real-time.
9. Don't panic. Be ready for everything. The PH team didn’t launch my products on time.
10. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day.
11. DM people on your launch day with a reminder.
12. Join relevant groups and chats. Support people there.
13. Track your progress with tools like hunted.space or Product Wars 2
14. Prepare social media posts, announcements for communities, emails.
15. If you have a team, assign responsibilities.
16. If you have investors/current customers or work with influencers, send them a reminder before and on your launch day

The list is entirely accurate. I have a question, what kind of communities should one connect in, and how many of them would be ideal enough for a solo founder? And do you feel there should be a separate onboarding or some quirks in our onboarding to show to the people signing up via ref. from PH

@tapan_patel nothing would be enough. You should do whatever max you can :) and exclusive perks personalised for PH community could help with more signups.

Don’t create and upvote your own product with fake accounts. PH knows your IP. If you use VPN to do so, they’re smart and they would most likely find out and penalize you.
17. Prepare a lot of coffee and be ready not to sleep for 20-24 hours.

Excellent tips. Seems that the most important factor is building a network, being helpful to as many people as possible pre-launch to hopefully gain some reciprocity and preparing communication to be able to promote the launch everywhere during the launch window.
Thanks for sharing, Olena!
I found that timing is important and it's fun ;)
Great tips!
