Enjoy the ride!
Obviously not everyone can be #1 of the day or have a super successful launch, and that's ok.
Focus on connecting with the community, meeting other makers and receiving feedback from your launch!
@nicolaas_spijker Thanks for the reply. I am launching my first product today and taking your advice to enjoy the ride.
@nicolaas_spijker Yeah, completely agree with these points.
Networking and community feedback is more important than the ranking and upvotes
@nicolaas_spijker This is a great advice! I've been stressing up about my launch but you're reminded me that it's a process and that it wont be defined by any single event. Thanks!
@parekh_tanmay but Product Hunt says that it isn't help right now. It's a myth.
Previously, when hunters launch a new product – their followers will receive notifications about it. But it isn't work right now.
@new_user_33896c12e1959 Thanks for letting me know.
We recently launched through an Hunter and got a good response but it may be due to the fact of our users and community members helping out too.
You can check the launch via https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Do consider upvote :)
However, it's possible that our users and community members also had a key role in its success. We recently launched through a Hunter and received excellent comments[url=https://bestweedandfeed.com/how-...]
@parekh_tanmay @new_user_33896c12e1959 But, you will get benefitted from having a hunter is the hunter has a following on other platforms and he/she is willing to promote your product on those platforms.
@rick_fan for sure. You can create a list of people who are hunters or community leaders and get them to support you when you launch.
Look for support the whole 24h of launching. When your competitors are sleeping you can boost!
@vse_horoscho Thank you, just launched my first product. Here is the link. would appreciate your help

Here are some of my notes for Vzy launch
https://producthunt.com/upcoming...
Before Launch
- Use Product Hunt Ship
- Improve landing page and onboarding flow
- Curate testimonials, talk benefits not features
- Schedule to post at 12:01am PT
- How it works video with founder
- Great intro post with storytelling angle
Launch Day
- Tweet, Email, Post across channels at 12:02 PT
- Respond and upvote comments to build momentum
- Host a Twitter Space
- Keep your eye on conversions
- Add PH badge to your site
Post Launch
- Thank your supporters across channels
- Link to PH in your posts and emails
My learnings:
1. Visit product hunt daily.(Even if its just 5 minutes)
2. Talk to other builders
3. Give feedbacks and received feedbacks
@kindacoder lets talk! You can drop me a message on my Twitter firmbeecom
@nikolas_dimitroulakis This is really good advice. I think most builders are so focused on the launch and forget what happens after. Building a startup is a long journey.
Tip #1 Have a creative approach
Tip #2 Have a community of supporters (previously)
Tip #3 Analyze other launches as well as their wins & mistakes
Build a community! And for more tips and tricks find me on LinkedIn! And join our PH group too : https://www.linkedin.com/groups/...
1. If you're a first-timer, launch on weekends
2. Build audience on SM platforms before the launch
3. Have a hunter who will promote your launch with their audience
I run a newsletter where I interview successful creators of product hunt on their launch strategies and secrets. it might be helpful for you. Dropping the link below.

I don't know what is the best tip. On my viewpoint, it is a combination of numerous actions and executions included in a detailed plan. I'm also a newbie on product hunt and currently planning on creating a suitable plan/strategy for our mobile game launch: https://www.petgotchi.com/
Wish all the best for your launch!
- Try to have a moderately polished version before you launch here
- Keep engaging with people who comment on your launch
- Make sure you are collecting useful feedback that will help you in improving the product
- And most importantly have fun 🚀
Mainly focus on building your community.
If your community loves you, then definitely your product launch will be a success.
All the very best
Networking and community feedback, Testimonials are more important
