Whether you have a hunter or not, a successful launch requires a well-organized workflow. Take your time, thoroughly research your launch, and execute with precision. With careful planning and dedication, you can achieve a successful launch on Product Hunt. 🙏
Launching soon!
What a useful tips! Thank you. 😊
All the points mentioned here are accurate🙌🏻
Navigating Product Hunt without a hunter is like trying to find a needle in a haystack blindfolded! Trust the process and your proactive hunter for a successful launch journey. 🎯🚀
Totally agree with your points! A good hunter brings visibility and credibility that's hard to achieve alone.
Your checklist is a great guide for anyone preparing for a launch. Appreciate the insights!
We believe having a hunter is essential for a successful Product Hunt launch. Launching a new product as a startup is definitely challenging. The exposure and credibility that a hunter can bring are invaluable.
We’re preparing for our own launch and it would be fantastic to have support from a hunter to help us reach a wider audience. Any advice or assistance from experienced hunters would be greatly appreciated!😁
While a Hunter can provide valuable visibility and credibility, the success of a Product Hunt launch ultimately depends on the quality of the product and the engagement of the community. Focus on creating a compelling product and fostering genuine interactions to maximize your launch potential.
@elaineluyi to be honest, doesnt matter how good product you bring on the launch, if you do not have enough spotlight, its really difficult to end up top on the launch day. Been observing hundreds of products and this is the sad reality!
Launching without a structure or a Proactive Hunter is a recipe for disaster!
If you don't get a good no. of upvotes, you will not feature in the top 5 after the first 4 hrs.
If you are not in the Top 5, you will get extremely less visitors which kills the whole purpose of launching in the first place.
You need to prepare at least 1 month before the launch and already have a good fanbase(either by yourself or through Hunter).
Ideally, you should already have some traction and a few customers who back you.
To get initial traction and potential customers, I provide a service of promoting startups in 400+ places through getfirstusers.com
Thanks for the detailed Answer.
Launching soon!
A hunter is necessary if you don't have a team for PH tasks.
I think #1 thing is to be genuine - so if someone manages to find a hunter who is actually really interested in their product and excited for the world to hear about it, then absolutely.
I don't, however, support those who sell their services and 'overpromise' on what can be done.
Interesting points
Thanks for sharing, Istiak! A proactive hunter can definitely boost your Product Hunt launch by increasing visibility, credibility, and reach. Their experience and network can make a big difference. However, success also depends on a solid launch plan and active support on launch day.
This is very interesting and very new for me. I am the first time in product hunt and plan to launch my mvp in a few months. How do I find good hunters? How to approach them? Where are they? What are costs I should expect?
All that would be really interesting for me.
I come from e-commerce where you would usually create a few hundred social media post, observe what sticks and then boost it.
Any help/hints are appreciated
@istiakahmad why not also share some ideas of how to find the hunter. :)
that will help many.
