should I postpone the launch and accumulate more audience?

Looks like the first hours of the launch is what determines if you get into the features section. If you can get 100-200 authentic engagements then it should be fine. in a month the PH rules may have changed again 😅

I would say focus on engagement too, it is super crucial! Connect with people outside Product hunt and engage with the community here and beyond :)

The decision to postpone the launch depends on your current audience size, the readiness of your product, and your overall marketing strategy. Consider factors like the potential impact of a larger audience on initial traction, the urgency of the problem your product solves, and any time-sensitive factors. Weigh the pros and cons to make an informed decision that aligns with your goals.

How long did it take you to gather this audience? Can you fundamentally change something in a month?

I haven't done a PH launch yet, but I think waiting is only going to lead to more waiting. No matter how many followers you gain in a month, you might still think it's not enough.

I believe that acquiring followers is an overrated method, considering that only 10% of followers tend to upvote your products. I recommend creating an early user offer to gather feedback and testimonials instead And then iterate the copy and pricing based on the feedback received. Add testimonials to your platform, then proceed to launch on Product Hunt. Hope it helps. Happy Hunting 🚀

It depends on the readiness of your product and the potential benefits of a larger audience. Consider balancing between readiness and audience size for a successful launch.

Regardless of followers, your going to have to be very active on launch day and do personal reach outs
