My go-to strategy for gaining visibility on Product Hunt is (as @feliciana_liu already mentioned) to get actively involved in the community well before launching anything. This means engaging with discussions, upvoting and commenting on other makers' launches, and offering genuine feedback.

Building relationships within the community helps create a support network, so when it's time for your launch, people are more likely to notice and support your product. It’s about giving value to the community first, which naturally leads to more visibility when you launch.

Create a compelling, well-crafted launch post, engage with the community, and encourage early upvotes from your network.

Answer

I think it’s about more than visibility it’s about offering value to the community. If you show how your product solves real problem, visibility follows naturally.

For gaining visibility on Product Hunt, I focus on building a strong community around my product before the launch. Engaging with the community, understanding their needs, and providing value through content or early access can really help. On launch day, I make sure to post at the right time, usually when the audience is most active, and share the post across social media platforms to drive traffic. It’s all about creating buzz and connecting with the right people!

Answer

Some ideas: 1) Get active in PH discussions early to build relationships and visibility ahead of launch. 2) Mobilize existing communities on other platforms to check out your PH launch. 3) Join relevant groups on LinkedIn etc to get the word out. 4) Reach out to PH influencers or top hunters to get their feedback pre-launch. 5) Use your existing email list, social following etc to drive traffic to your PH page on launch day. 6) Time your launch well - e.g. avoid major holidays, big tech events that will drown you out. 7) Have a clear CTA and incentive for people to upvote, comment, share your launch. Hope this helps, best of luck!

I'm planning a PH launch in Feb. It's a new community for me, so I'm focused on building reciprocal relationships with other PH members, and I'm hoping that when the time comes they'll check out our product (CRANQ.ai) and see if it interests them. We can also bring some traffic from our X.com presence where we have a strong community, and I'm talking to people there about the PH launch, and making a note of who might be curious. I also joined this community which seems kind of active https://www.linkedin.com/groups/...
