5 lessons I've learned from my launch on product Hunt (and 3 things I'll do differently next time):
✅ Start early: Create a teaser 1-2 weeks prior to promote the launch and up your Maker profile
✅ Reach out shamelessly: Create a list of people who might be interested in your product and send them the link, call in all favours, use your own network to gain traction
✅ Stay online: Engage as much as you can on the launch day to attract more visitors to the page and gather feedback
✅ Engage eagerly: Upvote other launches, comment in threads, create your own discussions, and more
✅ Utilise all assets: Provide as many details, product visuals, videos, and everything else Product Hunt allows you to provide
And 3 things that will make my next launch even bigger:
💡 Allocate more budget for ads, driving traffic to the website + PH teaser page
💡 Add pop-up to the website with the launch announcement and incentive to vote
💡 Start working on the Maker's profile months in advance to build more connections
