Pre-Product Hunt Outreach

My business, Poll the People is preparing for a launch in a few months. We are starting outreach for some support. We plan on reaching out to friends, family, and other personal connections. We also want to reach out to the PH community, influencers on other platforms, etc. to learn, network, and hopefully build a small following behind our platform. Are there any suggestions, tips, or people that have helped with your launches? Thank you in advance!
