What Are the Mistakes You Made When Launching Your Product on Product Hunt?

Skip the teaser and launch directly at the peak of the new product launch

Yeah I messed up the timing on my launch... didn't do any pre-launch hype and just hit that launch button cold turkey at like 2am on a Tuesday 😂 Need to build some buzz leading up to it next time and launch at the peak traffic time! Live and learn right?

I didn’t know how important it was to get some early supporters lined up for launch day. How did you all approach gathering your first few upvotes or supporters?

I launched without testing the product with a small group of users beforehand.

I didn’t have a well-prepared post-launch plan which affected how I followed up with users. After the launch I felt like I missed opprtunities to continue the conversation.

I made the mistake of forgetting to set up my notifications for Product Hunt comments so I missed a lot of important feedback. I was like "Wait why is my phone blowing up now?"
