👉 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.

@piotr_bartoszek with the point of "start early" do you mean you actual target audience? thanks for advice btw
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 Great suggestions!
You should leave 50% on Fate. I once had an unprepared launch and it was my best one ever.
@tiberiu_arva It indeed is.
Launching soon!
@vaibhavdwivedi Haha, good one. Power of randomness is real.
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.
The most valuable lesson was engaging with users early and often. What’s your key takeaway from your launches?
Launching soon!
@rahulparmar2405 Good finding! I will have my first launch next month.

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.

@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.
Launching soon!
@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.
Launching soon!
@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.
Launching soon!
