How can I ensure that my product gets featured in the initial hours of its launch?

Question

Are there specific criteria that Product Hunt checks to determine which products are featured?

Accepted Answer

Split up your responsibilities so you can get maximum momentum in the first hour. One cofounder working Linkedin, another focusing on all the other channels (email, telegram, etc), and the third responding to questions and comments on Product Hunt.

@pallavi_ganpat_babar In my case, they responded very quickly, but I didn't reply instantly, so I probably missed the opportunity.
