Finally, Fridayyy! After a week of launching, building, and probably way too many Zoom calls, I want to know, how are you spending the weekend? Are you the "" "" type, squeezing in more work and side projects? Or are you all about , , ? I am thinking of taking a break, maybe catching up on a book (or sleep ). But be geniune, I ll probably end up brainstorming the next big thing.
I've worked as a Product Manager in startups in Korea for 7 years, and now I'm building a product with the dream of launching a global startup. I'm about to launch an on-device AI chatbot app soon. Thanks to the power of AI and technology, I'm thrilled to break language barriers and expand globally. I hope to exchange more insights here and connect with like-minded people!

After launching and supporting countless products on Product Hunt, I hvve realized that success is not just about having a great product But it s all about creating an engaging story, building meaningful connections, and mastering the art of timing. Here are some - from my journey: . A strong launch starts well before the launch day. For every successful campaign, weeks (or even months) of preparation go into: -Crafting a standout tagline and description.
-Polishing visuals (screenshots, videos, or GIFs) to tell your story at a glance.
-Building relationships with your audience, potential supporters, and influencers. I have found that products with a clear and compelling why resonate more with the Product Hunt community. It s not about selling(it s about showing why your solution matters). . I have launched products that gained traction immediately and others that struggled to get noticed. What made the difference is TIMING. -Launching early (around midnight Pacific Time) gives your product the longest exposure on the homepage.
-Avoid clashing with major holidays or highly anticipated launches. But don t overthink it. I have also learned that an imperfect launch at the right time can outperform a perfectly polished one at the wrong time. . Product Hunt is a community, not just a platform. The more you genuinely engage, the more you ll stand out. -Respond to every comment thoughtfully. Personalize your replies to show appreciation and understanding.
-Share your journey(sucesses, struggles, and lessons). People love authenticity. I remember a launch where the maker shared their backstory about building the product from scratch after quitting a 9-to-5 job. That personal connection drove incredible engagement. (people love stories) . Your early supporters can make or break your launch. I always advise founders to reach out to their networks in advance. -Let your audience know about the launch and ask for support.
-Encourage comments and feedback, not just upvotes.
-Tap into communities outside of Product Hunt (LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit) to drive traffic. . Not every launch goes viral, and that s okay. I ve seen products gain momentum weeks or even months after their initial launch. Keep iterating, keep engaging, and most importantly, keep learning. --> Success on Product Hunt is not about chasing votes, it s about adding value. Whether you re a maker, a hunter, or a supporter, contributing meaningfully to the community is what makes a lasting impact. Okayy! What s been your biggest lesson from a Product Hunt launch?
If you could wave a magic wand and add any feature to your favorite no-code platform, what would it be? (Asking for a friend or maybe for our roadmap )
More and more I see questions about Product Hunt Hunters so I would cover this topic like a small FAQ. 1. Who is PH Hunter? Someone active or well-known on the platform, popular, recognized, and has a high follower count or a significant number of launched products. But even a maker can hunt the product if decides or someone else. 2. What is the Hunter responsible for?
