How important is timing when launching on Product Hunt?

Launch exactly at 00.01 pst, if you change it - you will loose the time while competitors are already running.

Fairly important, yes. I have seen a lot of hunters stick to the default one.

Timing is super important when you launch on Product Hunt. Choosing the right day and time for your launch can make a big difference in how well your product performs. When you choose on which day to launch, it's important to consider the differences in traffic and competition. Weekdays typically have more visitors, which means your product will be seen by a larger audience, but you'll also face more competition. If you're new to Product Hunt, launching on a weekend like Saturday or Sunday can be advantageous, as there are fewer competing products, giving you a better chance to stand out. The time of day you choose to launch is equally important. Launching at midnight PST (00:00:01) is highly recommended because this is when Product Hunt's ranking resets.

Different days offer different visibility. Mid week has more competition while the weekend has less. I think if you're confident about your product go for the high competition but be well prepared beforehand.

I learned the hard way that timing on Product Hunt is crucial. My launch got overshadowed because I didn’t consider the best time for maximum visibility. It’s definitely something I’d pay more attention to next time!

Getting the timing right is important. A good time can help your launch get more traction and reach a wider audience.

Guide clear of holidays or major events as these can reduce activity and affect votes.

Opt for active periods to maximize exposure and interaction.
