2. Create your Coming Soon page as soon as possible. Share it on PH, Twitter, LinkedIn.
3. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch.
4. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
5. Clean your launch day and the day after that.
6. Check your website and the buyer's journey.

This is a great summary @olenabomko ! The point 8 is a real nightmare.
Hey Olena,
Fantastic list, really well thought out! I've also launched a couple of products on Product Hunt, so here are a couple of additional points that might be useful:
Press Coverage: Try to line up some press coverage or blogs to coincide with your launch day. It not only adds credibility but also funnels in a different type of audience that you might not get from PH or social channels.
Engage in Real-Time: Have someone dedicated to real-time chat support or at least Q&A on your Product Hunt page. It can significantly improve your engagement rate and solve any issues users might have right away, making them more likely to upvote or try your product.

Cheers and best of luck with your PH launch!
Just checked hunted.space. Seems pretty useful. Thanks!
Great tips, Olena. Thanks!
Thanks for your tips Olena! Hope you recovered from the PH mishap! (also didn't know about hunted.space, pretty cool!)
Totally agree! I'd also add updating your onboarding process and welcome email sequence here
Awesome list! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing the tips @olenabomko
What a summary!
Thank you for sharing Olena!
Wow, thanks! It's a great list.
Great list!
Very good tips. I experienced once number 8. Anything can happen, really.
I would add the Reddit channels, I think they are very good for launch.
@iuliia_shnai Can you name them, please? š
These look really helpful, am gonna apply these on our launch next month!
Amazing list. Iād like to add that it doesnāt stop here. Try launching on other channels for example AppSumo if youāre offering a discount and be open to feedback. Goodluck to everyone launching soon
Craft a Compelling Story: Prepare a captivating story about your product's journey, highlighting the problem it solves and why it matters.

I said it on another thread.. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day.
When we launched EnVsion we had good support during day time (UK based) but this support fizzled out in the evening and night.
We didn't get a deep enough bench of supporters past the evening and landing #11 product of the day. With 20 more votes we could have landed in #9 for instance.
I love your tips, Olena!
Thanks for mentioning Invincible Product Hunters :)
Hi Olena, indeed, a very good summary. I would add another point - "To create a story around your product to make the potential user feel connected."
On another note, I am trying to build a community of serious makers and mentors and you would be a perfect fit as a founding mentor of the community. Can we connect?
@aditya_kumar_saroj Thank you very much! Of course, we can connect :) But I'm not open to mentoring proposals right now. Maybe I will in the future :)
