Solid advice!

Interesting!! If you already completed the above mentioned steps and still you dont feature than what should we do?
@adams_parker Did you follow all these steps without being featured? We're launching in a few hours and we'll need the support of everyone who thinks it could be a useful product. I invite you to check it out and let me know what you think, we're almost ready. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips Ghulam! I guess the first 2 are everything, they're the most vital points!
@hosseinyazdi Very interesting project WebCurate.co, can I ask how many people are on the platform and what marketing strategy have you pursued? PH definitely fits your product perfectly given that the foundational mechanics are somewhat similar here too.
Today we'll be launching our platform here on PH, it would be highly valuable to have your feedback given your experience here on PH and if you're interested in the project, a follow or upvote, thank you.
Thanks. These tips will sure help me in our launch.
Overall, putting in the prep work is crucial for maximizing your exposure.
Really appreciate you putting together this checklist!
Thank you for the advice! Will surely keep this in mind.
What if you have 2 days to market your launch cause of a challenge? 😅
Just pray ( personal experience ). If you have any better solutions would love it !
@abbas143official i'm trying, i hope will be worthy for tomorrow. Thank you!❤️
Launching soon!
We're scheduled to launch in a few weeks, so the timing of this post is perfect.
Great content man!
Absolutely, Ghulam! Getting featured on Product Hunt largely hinges on presenting your product in a compelling way, ensuring it's polished and ready for the spotlight, and engaging with the community to build anticipation and support.
Great tip shared Ghulam
Love the tips about timing and engaging actively with the community. We’ll put this into action and see how it goes!
@matteo_magliozzi Hey Matteo. Thanks for asking. This is my project I launched today: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
@rodney_manor I've just upvoted! I'm also going to comment on it right now.
I'm going to launch mine in a few hours, and I'd really appreciate it if you would join.
Really useful tips - thanks for taking the time to share!
Thank you for the tips!
@ashley_flynn I saw that you're a co-founder of ProprOffr, finally a platform that allows the creation of a listing that must be built and makes it harder for scammers to come in and do as they please. Great idea!
Thank you for the tips, Ghulam! I'm a dentist, not a career/trained entrepreneur, and this will be my first product launch. I am trying to learn as much as possible to have a successful launch, and I think this post was a good starting point for me :)
Launching soon!
@alicia_2th Thank you! You may get free my PDF (PH Launch Booster) for more helpful information. Find the link on my profile page.
@alicia_2th Alicia that's so awesome! Similar to you im a full time employee this'll be my first launch, awesome to see someone in a similar camp!
Launching soon!
Engaging and promoting is definetely the hardest part. It requires an one-on-one approach, explaining, taking doubts out, asking for feedbacks, etc.
And by the way, we are about to launch our product here. Pluga is an easy and friendly no-code automation platform. Anyone can integrate hundreds of different systems in under 2 minutes.

On the road to launch RecruitPage (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) in a couple of weeks from now. I'm really happy to see that even if this is my first launch it looks like I moved right!
Thank you so much!
Wow! Thanks for this Ghulam!
we are about to launch very soon and I saw this. Maybe the universe are telling us to be featured! hehe
