Hey @pdiruzza that's a tough question... I think it comes down to what you mean by "best day". 
During the weekend there might be less competition but also less leads coming from the launch for example.

I think it changes based on the launch trends, so you have to keep an eye on what's happening on the platform and then choose a strategy :)

@sofia__bettari thank you very much, Sofia. Based on your experience, which day do you find more effective to launch?

jusiy Waller · Answer

I always think about the competition. If you choose a day when a lot of big products are launching, your product could get buried. Maybe looking at upcoming launches can help you decide.

Hassan Sajjad · Answer

I've found that launching on Friday works best.

Elara Thorn · Answer

It depends on your needs. The competitiveness of weekdays and weekends is different, so the corresponding needs are also different. There is no best, only what suits you.

Sofia Bettari · Answer

@pdiruzza I'd say Thursday: competition, leads and days to get enough recognition

Answer

For me, launching on Thursday has been effective. People are winding down the week and looking for new tools or projects to try out over the weekend.

Answer

I think Friday can be a good launch day. It’s a time when people are looking for weekend projects and might be more likely to try something new.

Answer

I personally like Wednesday for launches. It feels like people are active online but not as overwhelmed with other commitments like they might be earlier in the week.

Answer

I think consistency in engagement matters more than the specific day. Whenever you launch, staying active in the comments and sharing on social channels makes a big difference.

Choosing the launch day right now.

It looks like activity on most public services is the lowest on weekends. On Fridays, people are usually waiting for the evening. On Mondays, they are slowly switching into work mode. So, only three days left.

Considering it'll be nice to have a few days of high activity on the platform after the launch, I'll choose Tuesday.

Answer

I've noticed that Tuesday is often the best for visibility, It gives you enough time to build momentum during the week.

Daniel Joseph Bennett · Answer

Tuesday or Wednesday is usually best. Mondays people are catching up from the weekend. Thursday and Friday people are checking out for the upcoming weekend. Weekends are slow. So Tuesday/Wednesday is the sweet spot to get a few solid weekdays of good exposure after launch before things slow down. At least that's been my experience!

Answer

Do you think launching on the weekend is a good idea? I’ve noticed some products do well on Sundays, but I’m not sure if that’s the norm.

Answer

I’ve heard that Tuesday is popular because people are back into work mode and more likely to explore new products. Monday feels too hectic for most people to notice launches.
