No hacks. Just hard work.
1. No tips will save you if you don't have a good product, clear website, and simple onboarding.
2. You can't ask for upvotes, mass message users, or DM strangers on messengers (WhatsUp, Telegram). The PH team removes fake upvotes, and you might get disqualified completely
3. Prepare all PH assets for your launch
4. Be active on PH.
5. Create your Coming Soon page.
6. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch.
7. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
8. Clean your launch day and the day after that.
9. Check your website, analytics, and the onboarding process.
10. Check your welcome email sequence.
11. Engage in real-time.
12. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day.
13. DM supporters on your launch day with a reminder.
14. Join relevant groups and chats. Support people there.
15. Track your progress with tools like hunted.space or Product Wars 2
16. Prepare social media posts, announcements for communities, emails.
17. If you have a team, assign responsibilities.
18. If you have investors/current customers or work with influencers, send them a reminder before and on your launch day
19. Ask happy users and customers about reviews.
20. Analyze your results, share updates, and say Thank you

Came for the "secret sauces", stayed for the great tips, great post, @olenabomko !
Great sharing, a great experience and I love the tool of hunted.space & Product Wars 2. I would love to have your checklist in Notion as well. Additionally, one item that can be added be active on the PH communities in Linkedin. Community supports each other on every platform.
@parilti_erkan It's #14 about groups.

Sure thing! First and foremost, don't wait for the product to be ready, a product will never be ready.

Hmm, I've seen quite a few launches with "fake upvotes".
agree with all the points! also some actual advise - keep an eye on being featured in time
This is great! Thank you @olenabomko

@olenabomko is this the free checklist? "Product Hunt Launch Tips"
And if you get good results from your launch, you have the option to relaunch after 6 months.
