šSo, it's your launch day, and the clock has just started ticking! You're sitting at your desk, praying for support from your followers, hoping to climb to the top. But you see others surging ahead with upvotes while youāre stuck at the bottom. Or worse, you didnāt even get featured on the Product Hunt homepage!
Believe it or not, many people have faced this harsh reality. Launch Day Reality is crucial! You must consider this if you expect to achieve a good result.

On launch day, two things matter:
1. Getting Your Product Featured
2. Gaining Maximum Support Within 24 Hours
š”The Critical Steps for a Successful Launch
1. Get Featured on the Homepage:
šTo get featured, you must follow a specific checklist. This checklist ensures you meet all the necessary criteria to stand out. I have already posted it earlier, so please check out the discussion link in the comment section.
šUpvote the "How to Get Featured on Launch Day" Discussion : By doing so, more people can benefit from these tips, creating a stronger community of well-prepared launches.
2. Gather a Strong Support Network:
šPreparation: Support doesnāt come overnight. You need a substantial network of people ready to back you up on launch day.
šPersonal Outreach: Reach out to your network personally to remind them about your launch. Even the most supportive friends might forget or be too busy without a reminder. Personal messages can make a huge difference.
šTime Investment: Building this network requires time and effort. Start well before your launch date to ensure you have enough people ready to support you.
š”Why These Steps Matter
šGetting Featured: Being featured on the homepage significantly increases your visibility. Itās like having a prime-time TV slot. More people will see your product, increasing the chances of upvotes and engagement.
šStrong Support: The more support you gather, especially in the first 4 hours, the higher your chances of climbing the ranks. Early momentum is key to sustained success throughout the day.

Thanks for sharing it, I think on launch day, two things matter:
1- Getting featured
2- Support in the initial 4 hours to survive all day long, as people usually support the #1
