I made 4 "top of the day" launches so far. These are 2 key things:
- Pre-launch promotion matters. Do producthunt discussion. Promote in variety of groups and communities to inform them about your product.
- Do not ignore Product name and tagline. These 2 things should clearly show the product's value proposition to draw the audience's attention to your product.
My team built an internal AI workflow to streamline launch copywriting. You can check this out: https://mindpal.space/workflow/p....

@ha_my_tran Thank you so much for sharing your experience Ha My Tran! The tips about pre-launch promotion and focusing on the name and tagline make total sense. I’ll definitely put more thought into how I communicate the value of my product. Really appreciate the advice!
Before launching on Product Hunt, I researched successful launches, engaged with the community, and created an eye-catching product page with clear messaging. I prepared engaging visuals, scheduled a launch day push, and reached out to early supporters for upvotes and feedback. Like promoting a new line of https://drake-merch.shop/, it's about building anticipation, optimizing presentation, and rallying a supportive audience for maximum impact.

@travis_warne Thanks for the great tips Travis! Building anticipation and preparing everything thoroughly really makes a difference. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for my launch. Appreciate the advice!
@travis_warne The strategy of engaging with the community and prepping visuals is spot on. It's like setting the stage for a new Drake merch drop—gotta build that hype! 🎤
Have you thought about post-launch engagement to keep the momentum going? 🤔
I reached out to a few key influencers in my space before launch day. Their support on launch day gave my product a solid boost
@eric_fos_ter what’s ur process? Whenever I did I got ignored 😅

@nickwatson I hope you got the answer! lol :)
Before launching, I made sure to build a small group of early supporters who believed in the product. They really helped spread the word on launch day.
@leslie_conner Hello Leslie, I would love to know what strategies do you use to build that group of early supporters

It was a lot of observation – scanning successful launches of other companies, scanning top-notched guys on the platform, and even things that were not totally related to the Product Hunt – psychology :)

@busmark_w_nika That’s such a great approach Nika! Observing successful launches and understanding the psychology behind it all sounds really insightful. Thanks for sharing – I’m sure that mindset makes a big difference! :)
Actively engage in communities like here in product hunt and for us, LinkedIn. It's becoming so easy to mutualizing support as you connect to more PHers and launchers.
