One strategy that significantly boosted our Product Hunt launch was engaging with our existing user base and industry influencers weeks before going live, encouraging them to support and share our launch day. This not only increased our visibility on PH but also fostered a sense of community and anticipation, driving more organic traffic and engagement.

We worked a lot on publicity before and during the launch. Announcing on social that we'll be launching our pioneering AI tool, sending out newsletters, posting frequent reminders and updates on social on launch day, etc. helped create a buzz. I feel generating this kind of curiosity and intrigue among people helps a lot with the launch.

@nika_vinichenko have a look at this discussion, there are quite interesting insights here
Increasing brand awareness beforehand, choosing the right marketing channels, and tracking what happens on the day of launch are all very important factors in making your launch a success.
P.S. - I think the magic happens in one-on-one conversations. You've got to find the right people who will support you.

@santosh_bagalkot1 How long were you doing this for Santosh?
This is pretty standard @santosh_bagalkot1 . common knowledge out there says you need to get your audience to provide the first couple of votes to get you on the board.
A good product helps.
Just kidding. If I read these comments I always have the impression that the software/your solution is not really important. It is all about "rock the community".
Well, I think in the end it is a mixture.
