Answer

When you’re launching on Product Hunt, it’s important to understand that you will only get noticed if you manage to hit the front page. That’s why it’s important to build up some support for your launch upfront within the Product Hunt community.

Establish the numbers you want to reach in terms of specific, measurable metrics. Once you have set the bar and know how to measure your performance, you can begin preparing for your product launch.

Answer

Add a widget on your site. This is mainly to get your regular traffic to visit Product Hunt and support you. The widget also acts as a reminder for those who come to your website from Product Hunt to go back and upvote your product.

@robohunter Though it is said to have an influential hunter, if your product is super awesome - there is a very high chance you will hit the top  products of the day. Create awesome products solving actual user problems.

Answer

Reach out to an influential “hunter” to “hunt” your product. This could increase your chances of being noticed and make it to the list of the top five products of the day.

@zia_ullah2 @devaonbreaches Exactly, it would help if you were active and social;  having more interaction will create a network of supportive people; these people always support you on your launches.

Answer

@robohunter @devaonbreaches Of course, it is crucial to make a superior product, but you also need influencers to convey your message to the users.

Answer

Prepare for your product launch by establishing a goal for the number of sales you plan to make.

Devanand Premkumar · Answer

@zia_ullah2 In my  experience I have seen good success with people who connect, interact and create relationships prior to launch. I have also seen 2-3 examples of their second launch doing even much better when the contacts improve over time.

Devanand Premkumar · Answer

@hamza_afzal_butt Agree with Hamza on the focus. Do you want more visibility or do you want more users or traffic. Focus on that and optimize for that.
