We launched on Product Hunt this week and ended up #1 Product of the Day.

Sharing a few tactical lessons while it s still fresh (without turning this into a promo post).

1) Comments matter more than we expected.

Not marketing comments , but real questions and real answers. The threads that performed best were the ones where we asked a follow-up question and kept the conversation going.

2) Ask for feedback beats ask for upvotes .

Which apps or tools have drastically improved your startup/workflow?

Hey everyone,

I m curious to know: What are some of the apps, tools, or services you ve discovered that have truly transformed the way you work or build your startup/product, or basically helped you in day-to-day work productivity? It could be anything from project management, productivity hacks, automation, communication, or even wellness tools that help you stay focused.

What’s the one tool in your tech stack that saves you hours every week?

We all have that one tool - the unsung hero quietly doing its job and saving you hours every single week.

For me (no surprise ), it s @Clueso

[Solutions for maintaining health are also welcome since your work results depend on your well-being and energy management.]

What’s the best productivity tool that’s NOT Notion, Obsidian, or Roam?

Notion, Obsidian, and Roam are great, but they re not for everyone. Maybe you found something simpler, faster, or just less overwhelming. What s the one productivity tool you actually stick with the one that makes life easier instead of adding more work?

When working, how and where do you jot down notes?

Hey everyone! Do you take notes while working and where do you jot down notes? Personally, I use the notes app on my MacBook, or some piece of paper, notebook, etc., and it is extremely difficult for me to find these notes when I need them. We are currently building BeforeSunset v2.0 to sync and bond with your team without additional messages. In the new version, you'll also have a personal space for taking notes about your tasks or your meeting (or whatever you want to take notes about). You can join our waitlist to know when we are ready: https://www.usebeforesunset.com/

What is the best Product Analytics tool for B2B software?

What product analytics tools like Amplitude, Mixpanel or Posthog did you try out? Which ones worked best? Most importantly, which team was best at replying and helping to support requests? These tools never work 100% so there is always some custom thing that needs to be done. Hence customer satisfaction is very important I think. I tried: - Mixpanel: No support, good software - Posthog: No support, good software, killer feature session recordings - June.so: No support, very difficult to customize, good design

What ways are you using to manage your stress?

I have struggled with bad sleep my entire life, but I have found a way to manage it that works for me. I take melatonin to help me fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. It has made a tremendous difference in my overall well-being and ability to manage stress.

I failed many times here's why

Hello Product Hunters Today I want to share something personal. In the past, I've tried to build startups many times. This is why I failed: Money was the most important thing I was focused on sales, not on delivery I was always distracted Now I'm trying again to build Zencal.io with the new brand new approach. Let's take a look Client first The most important thing for me now is my client's happiness. Why does that work? Because people like useful people. If you really help someone, they will help you. If you really support someone (without a hidden agenda), they will support you when you need it Delivery is King! If you're good at selling but can't keep your promises, you'll never build strong business relationships. I want to reassure people that they can count on me. I want to be predictable in what I promise. That's why I never promise anything I'm not sure about I'm focused I set myself a goal and I don't start something new until I've finished the previous one. This is something new for me, but it works. I have stopped thinking about the future when I have a clear goal for the present. What do you think? The new approach will give me a good outcome? By the way - I'm during a challenge "1k Twitter followers in 4 weeks". Please leave a follow if you like my content

10 proven tips for a successful launch on Product Hunt 🚀

I launched 8 products and got #1 Product of the Day with 3 MakerBox products (https://www.makerbox.club/). It generated 20K+ website visitors and over $15K in revenue (only from PH launches). Here're 10 proven tips for your successful launch 1. Be an active community member By being active on the platform, you get points and followers. Why? Your followers are notified when you launch Points give you more credibility How? Create and engage in discussions Check launches and comment 2. Build your audience on Twitter or LinkedIn To launch successfully, you need people to support your launch. I recommend #buildinpublic and connecting with other Founders. That's the best way to get feedback, advice, and support. 3. Get feedback on your product and landing page Early users and beta testers will give you: valuable feedback testimonials for your landing page = social proof support on the launch day Best platforms to get feedback: Product Hunt discussions, Polywork, Indie Hackers. 4. Prepare your landing page for the launch embed the launch badge put some kitties, Product Hunt community loves them! 5. Create a special offer You have a limited offer Website visitors have more motivation to sign up right now. Product Hunt brings you lots of website visitors. So, take this opportunity and convert more. 6. Choose the launch day wisely Mon Thu are highly competitive, but give you more traffic. Fri Sun are less competitive, but the traffic is also less. Chances to win Product of the Day are higher on Fri-Sun. But if you have a huge audience, then launch on Mon-Thu. 7. Schedule the launch. Product Hunt has an amazing guide for preparing all the necessary content correctly. Don't forget to read it https://www.producthunt.com/laun... 8. Announce your future launch on your Socials Remember: you need people to support you on the launch. If you have a Twitter or LinkedIn audience (even if it's small), make sure they won't miss your launch. 9. Prepare the launch distribution plan beforehand Plan every time slot and every distribution channel. It'll help you stick to the plan and be calm. Your e-mail list, reaching beta-tester and early-users, announcing on your Socials, Slack, Discord, and other channels. 10. Engage a lot on the launch day Reply to comments on your launch page Post your launch milestones Run AMA on Product Hunt discussions Everyone should know about your launch Hope it helps, wish everyone a great launch!
