I just created an upcoming page but not sure how to build our subscribers ahead of launch? Any tips? https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/govy

check out the guides on google, some go in-depth on good preperation and goals for launching. I also checked out some of the guides specifically relating to the algorithm that ranks products

@richw thanks, I'll look into that

Hi @justin_govy I think a video with a two-screen comparison would be great. You would get your app on the left and on the right, the "usual" way of booking a trip with 10 tabs open to get the best deal possible. I think that is a great idea for a demo and to get people engaged. A timer would be also good in how fast you are able to buy at the best price for both of these examples. If your app has some sort of historical data on the pricing for a given destination, that would be important to display. As well as a email notification, when my favorite destination is at an all-time low in terms of price, with my favorite air company would be neat. There is also a period of the year when I am more susceptible to going on vacation. Will your app features some sort of calendar when I can pick the month for any potential purchase? Well, I went way above the question asked! ;D I think mentioning the incoming features would be key to building a community ahead of launch. Do not launch if you don't have the number of subscribers you wish to reach. Don't expect to get it after the launch, that's a risky bet. Just do the opposite, reach your goal before the launch, the remaining is a bonus. You can always run a survey to double-check the interest of people in your product. Hope it helps!

@jack95 This is a huge help! The dual screen idea is great. Comparison marketing usually does a good lift. We're exploring notifications and calendars as well. The survey idea is a smart one too. I'll look into that. Great feedback, thank you
