We reached the #1 Product of the Day and #2 Product of the Week. Now, we're aiming for the #3 Product of the Month spot. Here we are: https://www.producthunt.com/products/scade-pro#scade-pro In the midst of all this excitement, I've been getting a lot of questions from fellow makers about how to have a successful launch. So here's a guide for all you newbies out there. And experienced makers, please share your advice as well! 1. Get involved with the community. I have never seen such a welcoming community that is so open to giving feedback and just discussing our work and life preferences. Join discussions, follow interesting people on their social networks, and be an active member of the community. You'll be amazed at how much you can learn and grow from these interactions. 2. Ask for advice. Most of the people you meet on Product Hunt have launched or are about to launch their products. Don't hesitate to ask for their experience and advice - the Product Hunt community is full of knowledge. 3. Be supportive. Take the time to browse the products on Product Hunt and find the ones that interest you. Share your feedback or congratulate the creators. 4. Speak up. Your product needs to be heard before it launches. So tell your future customers about it on social networks and here on Discussions. Get people talking about your product before it hits the market. 5. Divide responsibilities. Before the launch, divide responsibilities among your team members. Make sure everyone knows their role and is prepared to complete their tasks. From getting the product ready for launch to developing marketing and customer support strategies, let each team member shine in his or her area of expertise. 6. Respond to comments and accept feedback. Once your product is live, don't disappear. Respond to comments, accept feedback, upvote comments, and show appreciation for the community's support. These people are your potential customers, so build friendly relationships with them from the start. 7. Have fun. Launch day is hard, but soooo exciting. Celebrate the experience with your team - share jokes, stay in touch throughout those 24 hours, support your team members, and learn together along the way. Let's make every launch day one to remember! πŸŽ‰
