Hi Sachin! 👋🏼 ↓ We just launched today so hopefully I can give some advice! https://tinyurl.com/44xbsyaf Here are a few tips, in no particular order: 1. Find a Hunter → Not REALLY needed, but you can find one on Upvote Bell. 2. Decide on your goal of ranking or impressions → If the former, launch on the weekends as there's less competition. If the latter, launch on a weekday because there's more traffic. 3. Build a list → Create a sheet of EVERYONE you know and encourage them to create PH accounts 3-4 weeks ahead of launch. 4. Launch at 12:01am PST → Launch at midnight, and the first hour is critical! Get as much traction as you can by getting friends and family to upvote. 5. Respond to every single comment! Best of luck! Looking forward to seeing your product on here soon. 🥳

@mrbopa: Important! New accounts are tagged with a balloon 🎈, so it's better for friends & family to crate accounts ahead of launch. Good luck!

@brian_yip Thanks for sharing those tips. Really useful for somebody who is planning an upcoming launch.

How crucial is the signup 3-4 weeks ahead of launch?
