👉 Start early:
Get in touch with people who’ll be excited to support you.
👉 Don’t be transactional:
Don’t treat people like they’re just a number.
👉 Provide value:
Contribute to conversations. Share insights.
Make sure your presence in the community isn’t just about promoting your product.

hey @katerina_mirrart
When I say "start early," I’m talking about two things:
1. Your actual target audience - These are the folks who’ll be excited when you launch because they see real value in what you're building.
2. The wider community - This includes people in your industry who might not be direct users but can help amplify your message.
Both groups matter, but the goal is to create genuine connections, not just push your product (Extremely important!)
@piotr_bartoszek with the point of "start early" do you mean you actual target audience? thanks for advice btw
@piotr_bartoszek Great suggestions!
You should leave 50% on Fate. I once had an unprepared launch and it was my best one ever.
@vaibhavdwivedi Haha, good one. Power of randomness is real.
@tiberiu_arva It indeed is.
Getting early users and customers to be advocates is huge! Word of mouth and testimonials from happy users really help boost visibility and credibility when launching. Making sure you provide awesome support to turn early adopters into ambassadors is clutch.

From the experience of my launch two days ago:
Learn about PH (or any other launch platform) by yourself and understand how it can help you and your product.
For more details, I just wrote a long post, here's the link in case it never shows up out of whatever reason: https://www.producthunt.com/disc...
@derek_liu_dev Thanks for sharing your experience. Plenty of helpful learnings!
Hi Tiberiu, congrats on the launch! I’d say the most valuable thing I learned was how crucial early feedback is. It really helped us refine our approach and improve the product based on real user needs.
@bailey__richardson Great insight! Added to my list!
Hey there! For me, the biggest takeaway was seeing how diverse the audience is on Product Hunt. It was eye-opening to get perspectives from so many different people.
@holden_horton So true, different perspectices are so important for growing a product.
Hello! One of the biggest insights I gained was the importance of a strong launch strategy. Planning ahead and building anticipation really made a difference.
@davis_adams What was the key aspect of your strategy?
