@soumilrathi Supported for your launch!
@missglendia Thanks for the advices. Should I announce it 1 month beforehand? or less thn that?
Launching soon!
@missglendia @aaronnotion I've often heard people say that one month is the ideal time for a launch (it's the time period I'm waiting, atleast). So yeah, go ahead and announce!

Hi Aaron! Welcome to the community.
I've shared our team's tips here after our product became the #1 Product of the Day.
Hope this helps :)

@nastassia_k Thank you so much. It's really helpful.
1. Engage and support

@pabloroig_clous does this mean support anything just to get attention and follow? Or support what you like and give your honest opinion? :)
@pabloroig_clous I usually try 3-5 products a day, I use those products, give my feedbacks. It's been really helpful for me so far.
@pabloroig_clous Doing this every day!
For a Product Hunt launch, focus on building a community around your product beforehand, prepare thorough and engaging launch material, and actively engage with feedback during the launch day for the best impact.
@chiara_sw Thanks. Does the launch day have greater impacts on success? I heard that I shouldn’t launch on weekdays.
@chiara_sw what is the best way to build a community around the product before it launched?
What does almost new mean? hahahha I'd say engage with the community and I'm sure we'll engage back! Warm welcome
Initiate promotional efforts well in advance of the launch date. Construct an email database, actively participate in pertinent online communities, and generate content that effectively highlights the value of your product.
@minahilkhalid “Generate content that highlights the value of your product “ is great advice
@minahilkhalid It's a great advice. I will generate contents around the product. Thank you so much.
Take the time to browse the products on Product Hunt and find the ones that interest you. Share your feedback or congratulate the creators.
@digital_by_appu Thanks for the advise. I'm doing that for a few days now and made some friends already.

@qubafatima Thank you for sharing your guide, which is very helpful! :)
@qubafatima Thank you so much. I duplicated this on Figma. It's very detailed and organized.
Welcome to the community! Followed and excited to see your launch
@ashley_from_shadow Thanks for your support.
Ensure a compelling product description, use engaging visuals, leverage your network for initial traction, and actively engage with the Product Hunt community for feedback and promotion.
@joseph_thomas17 Thank you for you advices. I need good copyrighting skills. Got it.
That's a very good question, and I'm asking myself the same thing :) I'm also brand new to Product Hunt and am trying to network with the community here. I wish you the best of luck with your launch.
@ipaparazzo_app That would be great. Thank you very much! You can find my LinkedIn here https://www.linkedin.com/in/viol...
@aaronnotion You are welcome. Yes, we are planning to launch in March :)
I would also add, test your product, make sure everything is working and it’s ready for launch 🚀
Good luck 😊🍀

@mansi_trivedi1 Thanks Mansi.
Welcome to the PH community, Aaron! Make sure to build some buzz before you launch—engage with the community, get feedback, and refine your pitch so that on launch day, you're not just introducing a product, but telling a compelling story.
prepare and start sharing at least 3 weeks before

Keep engaging with the community and seek advice from successful makers on the platform! You're definitely @ the right place
I have the exact same question. Thank you for asking and also thank the PH community for all the responses.
Just joined recently and had the same question in mind. Welcome
