Typically the very first days of the waxing moon 🌖 perform the best

The best days to launch on Product Hunt are Tuesday and Wednesday.
@rahulparmar2405 have you upvoted on one of these days?
minimalist phone: creating folders
It depends on what you want. Higher chances to be a top product – the weekends (less competition, but also are more outside so maybe they will miss your request to upvote). To be more seen – higher traffic during the work week so you can be visible to more possible users.
All in all:
Monday – Thursday = Higher traffic
Friday – Sunday = Lower traffic
@busmark_w_nika yes I agree with you! on the week-end, I also see that products are more B2C than B2B
@steffi_nicolaides Honestly I chose to release on Thursday because I wanted to avoid releasing with a big group
I usually aim to launch on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for max exposure. Mondays people are still getting into the work week groove, and Fridays traffic drops off as folks start their weekend. Midweek is the sweet spot to catch the community when they're most engaged and likely to check out what's new on PH.
@ronaldmmm oh yes I see exactly what you mean! what about Thursdays then?

Launching soon!
@steffi_nicolaides Tuesday or Wednesday is prime time for PH launches, but be ready for stiff competition.
@djordjevic_nikola yes I see lots of products on those days... I'm struggling finding a date! for the end of October

Launching soon!
@steffi_nicolaides Haha, picking a launch date is like choosing a parking spot there’s always a 'perfect' one, but it’s taken! 😅 But hey, as long as you believe in your product, any date can be the right one! 🚀
I guess everyone’s settled into their routine by then and more likely to explore new products.
I always thought Fridays would be good, but it looks like mid-week is where it’s at. Thanks for sharing these insights!
Interesting results! I’ll definitely consider launching on a Wednesday based on this data.
i have seen the most success lunching on Tuesday it seems like more people are active early in the week
Wednesday worked well for me its mid week,so people re more settled into their routine
. I think avoid Friday foe sure people re winding down,nd enggement drops offf
Tuesdays and Wednesdays seem to be the top picks for launching on PH from what I've seen. Curious to hear other people's experiences launching on different days of the week and how it impacted visibility/traction. Has anyone found success launching on a Monday or Friday for example?
