Hi product hunters! Let's share some tips about how to have a great launch day in Product Hunt. I am new here and we are actually launching a new product today so I can use your help to make this launch fantastic. I go first: Try to engage with the community and interact with your audience. What could you suggest to help a fellow hunter? Cheers, Ricardo

Hi, I am not a maker but have closely observed the pattern of how products rank high on this platform. Many think that it's almost impossible to get to the top unless you have a huge community following. It’s definitely much harder since fewer friends have “good” profiles but it is doable, you just need a battle plan. Creating awareness for your product using the upcoming products page could be great too.

@nimesha_buvanendran Thank you Nimesha! I agree with you!

Hi, Ricardo! I would say launch language needs to clearly strike two chords. One would be talking points that are problem-aware, and two would be takeaways that are solution-aware. Every reader at that point walks away having understood your product and whether or not they need it themselves!

@ricardoturpin It went really well! We’re trending on #6 daily and #27 weekly! Also I think PH just added us to their newsletter!
