Unless you spent month's preparing the audience and warming up local community to it... just shoot and pray 😅 Try to push those 'Notify me' stats on the pre-launch page to 100, and it will be ready for a good start. Good luck 💪

@yurii_holovanov Thanks, Yurii! We've been prepping and notifying our network! We'll continue to do so until launch day!

Hey! We're also about to launch fynk next week: Besides the obvious like: - creating good screenshots, that explain one feature / idea per image - writing a catchy tagline and a clear product description and - writing an extensive first comment about the product and its story I believe the most important pre-launch activity is warming up your network. If you have a community, a business network that cares about ProductHunt or an audience on social media, it's important to tell them in advance you're about to launch. Ideally, you'd ask if they'd like a reminder on the launch day, so you can directly remind them of your launch on the day it goes live. On the launch day itself, just be present and make sure to answer all questions and get back to everyone who takes the time to support your launch 😊

Congrats Meridith! Here are my tips to have a great launch on Product Hunt: 1/ Get Ready in Advance: Don't wait until the last minute! Ideally, start prepping a two-weeks or more beforehand. 2/ Build Buzz Before Launch: Before you launch the campaign, get your network excited and jump into conversations on Product Hunt. Make friends and join discussions to get people to recognize you on the platform. 3/ Pick the Right Time to Launch: When you launch matters. Launching early in the week (Monday to Wednesday) means more people will see you, but there's also more competition. If it's your first time, consider launching on a weekend to have a better shot at standing out. 4/ Promote on Launch Day: Share your Product Hunt page link everywhere you can (this won't hurt your ranking). Use Twitter, Linkedin, Telegram and Discord communities, your newsletter, and anything else you can think of to drive people to your Product Hunt page. And remember to appreciate everyone who leaves a comment .
