Hello everyone! We launched BeforeSunset AI (https://www.beforesunset.ai/) in June and we became the product of the day, week, and month! 🌟
We have 1777 upvotes and 422 comments currently, our number of upvotes and comments continued to increase after the launch 🚀
Thank you to all the product hunters who support us. We gained a lot of momentum after the launch and created a great power user base ✨
We are happy to answer all of your questions. I and our growth lead Nur will answer all of them on 11th August.

Well done! I'm curious: How did you spread out your outreach to get upvotes? Did you ask as many people as early as possible or did you ask smaller batches throughout the day?

we launched today, hopefully can become product of the week as well https://www.producthunt.com/post...
appreciate upvotes and your feedback in comments 🙏🏻
Congrats on achieving outstanding results!
Congrats! :) What's your main acquisition channel after the launch? Thanks!
BeforeSunset AI
@steve_lourdessamy The main channel is the hype that we created, people are coming directly mostly. We are focusing on SEO and social media activities and currently doing some trial influencer marketing to understand which channel is the best for us.
Congratulations on the product and the successful launch Elif, always heartwarming to see stories like this. :)

Why sometimes products with significantly lower upvote/comment count overtake other products?
BeforeSunset AI
@alex_chepovoi While I can't be 100% sure, I do know that upvote values have to do with the profile. In Product Hunt, the upvote value of an active account, the number of followers, the number of streaks, and an account with more points are different from the upvote value of a newly opened account.

The Product Hunt launch was the beginning point, that's why I can say it is more than just upvote numbers.

@olearningcurve Thank you, Luke! Actually, we had ongoing marketing efforts. We announced our launch with a press release and on all our social media platforms.

@zekiye_nur_kesici What was your form of press release and how did you draw attention to it?

Elif, congratulations on this fantastic achievement! The journey of Before-Sunset AI's launch is truly motivating and offers a lot to learn from. Thank you for sharing your experience!
With SayData's launch just a week away, scheduled for August 17th, I would greatly appreciate any insights you can provide regarding effective outreach strategies to enhance our pre-launch support. Your guidance means a lot.
Feel free to take a look at our launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@shekhar_kushwaha I'd recommend reading our Product Hunt (PH) launch blog and watching the webinar. There are tips that you can utilize. In short, I'd suggest remaining as active as possible in discussions, engaging, and conversing with the community.
Congratulations!
BeforeSunset AI
@flora_wu I'd recommend fostering a continuous connection with users, even before you have a product. Engage in conversations, seek their opinions, and ask insightful questions to truly understand their needs. Post-launch, prioritize quick and attentive support to demonstrate that their concerns hold importance. Building your product hand-in-hand with users, based on their feedback and input, is pivotal for success.
@elifduran Love the ideas! Definitely will do
