Best advice for promoting your product (Pre launch) ?

Product Hunt offers you a 'Launching Soon' tag next to your name. When you comment on other recently launched products and offer genuine feedback, their makers are likely to check out what you're building. Good luck. :)

And here are things we did for my productized service to get 10 paying customers before launch: Pre Launch 1.We shared our challenges and asked for feedback during the building phase (design, user persona, pricing, marketing, basically anything). 2. Help and support others, and make friends on Twitter. 3.Engaged in conversations where people are talking about the problem we were solving (you can use F5Bot, a free service that emails you when your selected keywords are mentioned on Reddit or Hacker News). Soft-Launch 4. Create a no-brainer offer and DM potential users to share their feedback. 5. Reach out to users over DM of our previous product. 6. Joined the PH community on LinkedIn and ask for feedback if they are our ICP. About to Launch 7. Promoted our product in the communities of products we used to build your product (like @Softr , a no code website builder, has a community) 8. Joined the community of founders/creators we love (my favorite is @Morning Maker Show ) 9. Promoted our product on "pitch your product" tweets. 10. Launched on launchpads like @Uneed , @Microlaunch 11. Launched our product on relevant platforms and directories. If you don't have time, I will be happy to help with Submission part with Boringlaunch. We submit AI startups to 100+ platforms in 7 days. (PS: I am founder of Boringlaunch)

talk about what you're working on, from the start. then, when it comes to (pre)launch, you'll have a crowd bought into what you're doing and happy to support you your next move - the launch.

so here is my thoughts >Build an audience early (create a waitlist and engage in communities). >Share sneak peeks (tease features and offer early access). >Leverage beta platforms (list on Product Hunt, BetaList, and similar sites). >Use influencers & partnerships (get early adopters to spread the word). >Run targeted ads (warm up potential users with social and search ads). >Create valuable content (blog, tweet, and optimize for SEO). >Engage in real conversations (focus on genuine interactions over hard selling). DONT FORGET to post on SM (LI, X, FB,...)

DM on LinkedIn or other platforms is one of the methods. I've received several DMs before and followed their products and I found that most of them achieved great results in the end.

I've seen really good promotions from TikTok, getting almost 100k followers just from someone promoting their day-to-day before their launch. Granted it's more matcha products, and not a tech product. But I mean I understand not everything is going to get traction but if you can find the community and start documenting your day to day to start getting traction and followers.

I'm in the same boat. building a community is really not easy 😣 Keep going, Q ! you can do it

Go local first! If my product has a local market, start by networking within my community and nearby events.

I'm looking for the answers as well. After trying twice before without the success I hoped for, I’ve realized there’s still so much to learn. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure where things went wrong (whether it was the messaging, timing, or simply not engaging the right audience in the right way) As I prepare for the upcoming launch of TeamPal, I’d love to hear your launch advices!

Nothing hits harder than engaging in PH launches at least 2 weeks before your own drop. Plus, sharing the products you love on Twitter and tagging their makers is a pure magic. And yeah, staying active in build-in-public groups helps a ton. PS: Nothing beats personally reaching out for support on launch day. :)
