Here for all the useful replies. Thanks for asking a great question â¨
It's great that you're about to launch your first product. A few tips for a successful launch:
Preparation is key: Make sure you prepare your product page carefully. Clear, appealing images and a concise description that emphasises the benefits of your product are crucial.
Community engagement: Get actively involved in the community before the launch. Comment and support other products to gain visibility.
Gather pre-feedback: Use your network and early adopters to gather feedback on your product and make improvements before you launch it on Product Hunt.
Plan the launch day: Choose a day for the launch when you can be active and respond to comments and questions. Interacting with the community on launch day can be very valuable.
Promotion: Use your own social networks and channels to draw attention to your launch. An email campaign to your subscribers can also be very effective.
Find a hunter: If possible, find an experienced "Hunter" on Product Hunt to feature your product. This can increase visibility.
Good luck with your launch! It's an exciting journey.

Hi Josh! Welcome to PH community đ My one piece of advice would be to have a very clear plan of action. If you donât have a large network of people who will be ready to support you on the launch day, youâve got to start working on that. Decide on what you need to do, set the steps and mark it as done or to do as you go along.
Tell a story about your product. Why did you create it? What problem does it solve?
Absolutely! Launching your first product on Product Hunt can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Here are some valuable tips to ensure a successful launch: Firstly, focus on creating a compelling and engaging product description that clearly outlines the problem your product solves and its unique features. Secondly, leverage your network by sharing your launch with friends, family, and colleagues to garner initial traction and feedback. Additionally, engage with the Product Hunt community by participating in discussions and providing value to other users. Lastly, consider utilizing AiToolsKit.ai, an All-in-one platform offering a suite of AI, SEO, writing, YouTube, and social media tools for free, to enhance your product's visibility and reach. Good luck with your launch!

Be clear about what your product does
I am also launching my first product soon, but I have another account that I use to buy and test products on here. I am very much an early adapter.
So this is me as a customer. The one thing I think everyone is missing is this: REPLY back to your users.
I will take my time to message your team when I run into a bug or can't get the tool to work. Please write back and be helpful. I bought your tool because I support what you are building.
You took the risk of building a company, and I took the risk of paying for and testing your product. I am already a fan when I am using your product, but you can quickly turn me into a detractor when you ignore me or is cold to my questions.
@atticusli Great advice, It's sound like a full 24 hour things so I'll make sure always to be active ahah
@atticusli Absolutely agree! As a customer and an early adopter, nothing fosters loyalty and trust more than responsive and helpful communication from the company. When I encounter issues or have questions about a product I've invested in, receiving a prompt and supportive reply makes all the difference. It's a clear sign that the company values its customers and is dedicated to providing a positive user experience. So, here's a reminder to all product creators out there: engaging with your users and addressing their concerns can turn satisfied customers into enthusiastic advocates for your brand.
I created a GPT last week for the launch phase. It's based on three of the best guides to ProductHunt launches.
