What the title says.
I'm launching a product on PH for the first time.
This is for the PH veterans out here - what's your best advice pre, during and post-launch?
Thank you!

I've not launched yet, but as a Solo founder I collects insights from my fellow founders who have launched, and keeps marketing at the priority 1.
- Although keep the priority 1 = Marketing before, on, and after launch
- Prior to launch, engage with your target audience regularly, and try to realize them about the problem you have solved. (Best option to do so is Twitter).
- Launch your product with few audience, need to relaunch it on many other platforms, may help you to enhance your visibility. Here you will have more opinions on this. https://www.indiehackers.com/pos...

I read these articles ( here's a link: https://bit.ly/3qdLsjs ) before my launch and ended 4th product of the day (with zero online presence). My advice is to read them all. :)
Heya Mia! Suuuper curious about what you are cooking in your secret marketing labs haha
There are some great guides out there that you might want to check out:
@draptis wrote this piece: https://www.jimraptis.com/blog/t...
@michael_sieb also wrote a very exhaustive guide: https://typestudio.co/blog/produ...
Would consider both as must-reads - we oriented heavily on them for our launch! :)
Lmk in case you ever need feedback on your launch collaterals.
@draptis @michael_sieb @carlo_thissen Nice to see you here Carlo!! :)
Thank you so much for the resources, bookmarking them for future reference haha ;)

- Set realistic expectations. Here's an article that talks about what you could expect from the PH launch, real stories from real founders. https://statsph.com/blogs/realis...
- Even if your Product does not get much attention, don't worry about it. Just keep at it.
I've read a lot of articles but I think the most helpful source is this YouTube channel
