My advice would be to prepare for the unexpected. No matter how well you plan, something will always come up.

Not only what @azza_shahid says. Focus on your positioning, messaging, and creative. There are many similar products in the market, what is your differentiation and elevator pitch? That hook is golden!
Connect with influencers and potential supporters who can help amplify your launch day.
I've done a few launches on PH before. My key tips: 1) Build an audience beforehand through social media, email list, etc. 2) Prep assets like images, gifs, and a video beforehand. 3) Get some initial upvotes lined up for launch day from friends, family, colleagues. 4) Be super active in the comments, answer every question. 5) Keep the momentum going after launch by posting updates. Hope this helps!
Be active on discussions
@azza_shahid can i do the same after the launch?
Consistent engagement on different posts and starting new discussions can help
Focus on refining your product, engaging your community, prepping marketing, and connecting with influencers for launch day.
