What are your biggest struggles/fears when you want to launch a product?

A few days ago, we discussed how difficult it was for me, for example, to create my first product.

In many cases, people struggle with money. But I believe that with the mass adoption of AI, many things can now be done at a relatively low cost.

Building a personal profile on Product Hunt in 5 steps (Tips, but recommendations are welcome)

I ve been on Product Hunt for over 1,000 days, and honestly, when I first started, I had no strategy.

I knew I wanted to grow, but I didn t have a clear plan. I simply liked the platform, and that was enough motivation to spend time here. That time helped me recognise certain ways to build a personal brand on Product Hunt.

Which companies would you invest in if they were freely tradable?

Some companies are love brands for me, and I d like to support them. Others I see growing, and I d love to ride the wave. :D

Do you have any companies you d like to invest in, but that don t have a public offering yet? Which ones?

What inspired you to start a business?

I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.

You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.

One month ago we launched on Product Hunt. We got #3 Product of the Day🥉

One month ago we launched on Product Hunt. We got #3 Product of the Day

What we learned:

  • Launch day is only the tip of the iceberg

  • Preparation is everything, momentum is built long before you hit publish

  • The community you nurture matters just as much as the product you ship

  • A PH launch builds credibility and brand authority but it doesn t necessarily drive conversions. That s a separate challenge.

What activities to do after the PH launch?

Yesterday, we discussed how many times it is beneficial to launch on this platform.

With each launch, there is a benefit of "exposing yourself".

ProductHunt “boosters” on LinkedIn

I am now on my 3. release on ProductHunt and right after the release I get a ton of people trying to connect on LinkedIn with the promise to boost my launch. By now I can spot the pattern a mile away: vague guarantees, exclusive pods, and a price tag that mysteriously appears in the second message. On launch day, when you re running on caffeine and hope, that shortcut looks shiny. But in my experience, it warps the signal you actually need: real reactions from people who might use what you built. What s helped more than any boost : Treating launch day like support day answering every question fast. Shipping a tight demo video and a clear what s new thread. Reaching out to existing users the week before with a simple note: Here s what changed. Anything confusing? Sharing in communities where I already show up the other 364 days. I m not anti-promotion; I m anti-fog. If something truly accelerates learning without faking momentum, I m all ears. There s probably nuance I haven t seen yet, and I m curious how other makers filter the noise. If you ve navigated this dance kept it clean, kept it effective how did you do it? What actually moved the needle for you on launch day (or the week after)?

How can you promote your launch when the "Coming soon" page is not longer available?

Yesterday, @rohanrecommends noticed some changes on this Platform  the "Coming soon" page is gone.

There's no reason to panic because you have plenty of options to be visible, for example:

  • You can place the PH badge (button for support) on your landing page.

  • You can send a reminder email or push notification to your supporter.

  • You can set up a LinkedIn/Facebook virtual event where you insert the link for your launch.

  • You can use PH forums with relevant categories to make announcements if you have previously launched, for example, p/Google, allowing you to use the platform directly.
