  • Does having a popular 'hunter' actually makes a huge difference on the launch?

    While I do understand that having a popular Hunter (Not denying the contributions) helps in the early traction. But, does it usually makes a huge difference. Are there examples, where product launches had been successful without awesome hunter behind it.

    Hunter helps but it isn't a requirement to be successful. Followers of the hunter will get a notification about the launch, which is always nice to have. If you are looking for a hunter check out: https://upvote-bell.com/leaderboard

    In my personal experience launching Thursday and other products here, we were able to do quite well (top 5) without a popular hunter. I think the other preparations like your network, contribution on product hunt etc matter more.

    I'm very curious about the details of picking a hunter. How do you choose a hunter? Where do you start looking?
