Question

Hi guys!
How did you find a cool Hunter for Product Hunt launch?
Do you have any suggestions?
We are ready to launch our awesome https://surfaces.one/ and now starting preparations. Hope to learn from your experience!

you don't need a "cool hunter". From historical data posted by many here in PH (eg @alexanderisora ) and past experiences. there is little to no difference between using a popular hunter or hunting a product yourself.

@hamedbaatour 
I agree 🙂
A cool hunter with thousands of followers will not give much impact on your launch. This is because the followers of a hunter are no more getting emails notifications on a new hunt as it used to be in the past.

I made a video where I told all I know about the "finding a hunter" question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkG4MdJOz_4

Now we're using "spam to every hunter" strategy, but I'm not really sure it's ok :)

@alexanderisora already watched that video back in November and I have to say that it explains this point really well. One of your first subscribers 😉

keep it up Alex 💪

@hamedbaatour @alexanderisora This is helpful. Thank you!

Answer

Try finding someone who has hunted similar products before. That will help you convince them to hunt you. Reaching out into startup-oriented Slack groups like the Startup Study Group is also a great way to find Hunters!

I find out about launches by accident or from recommendations. Somehow I don't follow on purpose

Is there a difference between upvoting and hunting?
