Hi y'all, Excited to be launching our first product on Saturday and wanted to reach out to the community for any additional advice in regards to how to make this a smooth and successful process. I feel like exhausted all the guides possible that Product Hunt graciously provides us but obviously, the real-world experiences are different from a best practice guide. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide and I'll be sure to come back with a breakdown of everything after the launch.

If you are new to product hunt, I recommend you to launch with a hunter. That will lower a bit your workload, and you will have recommendations about the best practices. Here is a good website to find a hunter in your niche: https://upvote-bell.com/leaderboard

All the best for the launch...I'll keep my eyes open for it. Have you checked the wonderful to-do list compiled by @falak_sher ?

@geetanjalishrivastava I have not had a chance to! I'll definitely look into it! Thanks for the pointer.

If you're launching on Saturday then I recommend you do a prelaunch to build up more traction before the initial launch since launches can be scheduled and promote it in the discussions. Good luck!
