When launching a new product on Product Hunt, is it better to enlist influential hunters or do a self-launch?
What are the pros and cons of each approach?
The community's experiences and advice are welcome to help determine the best strategy between using hunters or doing it yourself.

Hello Rachid,
I am new here as well launching a product in August. I wish I new the answer (I don't) but from what I've read there seems to be an earnest method of engaging with the community & supporting others as a way to create some momentum. I'm also still unsure if there is value in paying a few thousand dollars to contract a hunter but all the same I think there is something good in just being part of the community as a builder. So for me that's where I'm starting. Good luck with your launch. I'll follow your launch if you have a page.

For a successful product launch on Product Hunt, it is better to enlist influential Hunters who have a strong following and can drive more visibility and engagement for the edtech application. Their support and promotion can significantly boost the product's chances of reaching a wider audience and gaining traction in the competitive marketplace.
@realkunalmehta Thanks for your reply.
ooh okay, I understand more.
Sometimes being helped by an hunter is paid process ?
Depends on your network and the product. Getting a big-name Hunter could give you a visibility boost, but it's no guarantee of success. A self-launch? It's more work, but you control the narrative. Keep in mind that no matter the route, your product has to rock.
Question: what does hunting entail? Can I hunt for other people right now as someone with a small following?
