Welcome to Product Hunt! I would advise you to build anticipation on social media to generate curiosity and excitement. Interact with the Product Hunt community. Respond to comments and upvote.

@missglendia Thanks for the advices. Should I announce it 1 month beforehand? or less thn that?

@missglendia @aaronnotion I've often heard people say that one month is the ideal time for a launch (it's the time period I'm waiting, atleast). So yeah, go ahead and announce!

@pabloroig_clous does this mean support anything just to get attention and follow? Or support what you like and give your honest opinion? :)

Pablo Roig
@lana_dem No, quite the contrary, for me support doesn´t mean necessarily to upvote, you can give feedback or take a look in others product.

@pabloroig_clous I usually try 3-5 products a day, I use those products, give my feedbacks. It's been really helpful for me so far.

For a Product Hunt launch, focus on building a community around your product beforehand, prepare thorough and engaging launch material, and actively engage with feedback during the launch day for the best impact.

@chiara_sw Thanks. Does the launch day have greater impacts on success? I heard that I shouldn’t launch on weekdays.

@chiara_sw what is the best way to build a community around the product before it launched?

Initiate promotional efforts well in advance of the launch date. Construct an email database, actively participate in pertinent online communities, and generate content that effectively highlights the value of your product.

Take the time to browse the products on Product Hunt and find the ones that interest you. Share your feedback or congratulate the creators.

Welcome to the PH community, Aaron! Make sure to build some buzz before you launch—engage with the community, get feedback, and refine your pitch so that on launch day, you're not just introducing a product, but telling a compelling story.

Aaron
@cen_xu Thanks Vincent. People don't buy a product, they buy a solution. So telling a story is really important.

prepare and start sharing at least 3 weeks before
