Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to Product Hunt and feeling a bit overwhelmed. In just one month, I'll be launching my product, and I want to make sure I do it right.
My background is in marketing and employee communication, but I know launching on Product Hunt is a whole different ballgame. I'm worried that my lack of experience might hurt my chances of success.
So, I'm turning to this community for help. In your opinion, what are the top 3 things I should focus on to ensure a successful launch?
I'm open to any and all suggestions - Is it all about the pre-launch hype? Crafting the perfect product page? Engaging with the community and gathering feedback?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences and avoid common pitfalls.

@julia_zakharova2 Thanks for your advice!
Appreciate the support - I'm excited to make the most of this opportunity!
1- Be part of the community. Everyone has something to share. You have to be active here and start building your network with hunters.
2- Never... never ask support massively for people who is not part of Product Hunt. That might take your launch down due to the balloon effect.
3- Make your presence on LinkedIn with the PH community as well. You can't send private messages or be part of groups on PH, once these features don't exist here. What people mostly do is using LinkedIn as complementary tool. So add people there, seek for PHs groups and interact with them.
Launching soon!
