When did you say "alright this is the right time to launch on Product Hunt" ?

Good question Amine. Aas I can talk on per my experience, I launched on PH twice in my life. The first time I had no audience, no presence online 👉 Result: 70 upvotes, no top 5 rankings. The second time, I had almost 2.5k followers on Twitter, and I was part of a private community of indie hackers (very supportive) 👉 Result: 300+ upvotes, 5th ranking. So, for me, the answer is: when you feel like you have a supportive community around you.

This is my usual take on PH launch. As some one who built multiple products got into Top#5 Products of the day multiple times, below is my take. For Newsletters, Info products - Launch as early as possible so that you can relaunch again after 6months. For SaaS - Wait until your product get the traction. You should launch on PH for the traffic and the little bit of traction it gives. But note that not everyone gets the same traffic. Only the products that stay in Top#5 of the day will get a good amount of traffic. Also, ProductHunt emails 100K subscribers about the Top#5 products daily. That will give you some additional traffic. But don’t consider a successful PH launch as validation for you. There are hundreds of products from previous years that got died. But this should give you a few connections and pointers to start with. Consider writing a launch report and tell users how your launch went and give some data about stats/figures on traffic/revenue. Post this report to multiple places like IndieHackers, Reddit, etc. This way, you can get some extra coverage for your launch.

I feel like Product Hunt is where you go to get exposure and fast user feedback. Post when you feel like you have something substantial enough that you could actually use feedback to make meaningful changes to your product.

There is no hard and fast rule for this. Once you have built a strong community, you are good to go. The only thing is proper preparation and a strong community.

I haven't Right now I've launched 3 different amazing products that did poorly 😅 I watched and did alot of research on audience building so right now I have a goal of engaging with at least 3 persons in the community every day for the next 3 months

I think the right time to launch a product is when you've established a community of friends and supporters over here that can help push your products to the eyes of potential customers

I feel like im just within reach. Our app, up until today, was only functional through a Discord bot. We just added a feature where it can be used directly through the browser. Now we'll be opening up user signups without requiring a Discord account. I think after we do that we'll be launching within 4-8 weeks after, let some outside (of discord) users sign up and use the app and get feedback, fix any bugs or issues and make nay needed improvements. Then we'll be ready and I'l be doing a 2-4 week preparation.

After dev beta > fixes > user beta > fixes > launch > fixes > and now PH!

It was about a month ago when I launched my first Notion Template. I knew I had to double down on PH & the best way to go about was by launching my first e-product on PH itself.

Product Hunt makes us feel that it is a good place to get fast user feedback. Posting when you need feedback and making familiar the community with your product from different backgrounds and perspectives could be beneficial for development.

We found that once our churn bottomed out and we had product market fit, we tried floating our product on product hunt.
