I can provide some general tips and recommendations for launching on ProductHunt: Build a community: Before you launch your product on ProductHunt, try to build a community of potential users or supporters. You can start by reaching out to your personal network, engaging with people on social media, or joining relevant communities and forums. Prepare your launch: Make sure you have a well-crafted pitch and a clear value proposition. Your pitch should be concise, engaging, and communicate the key benefits of your product. Also, prepare all the necessary materials such as screenshots, videos, and other assets that can help you showcase your product. Timing is key: Choose the right time to launch your product on ProductHunt. Launching on a day with low traffic or during holidays might not yield the best results. Research and find out the best time to launch based on your target audience and industry. Engage with the community: Once you launch your product on ProductHunt, engage with the community by answering questions, responding to feedback, and thanking people for their support. This can help you build a loyal following and increase your visibility on the platform. Leverage the momentum: After your launch on ProductHunt, leverage the momentum by promoting your product on other platforms such as social media, blogs, and newsletters. This can help you reach a wider audience and increase your chances of success. As for treating ProductHunt as a standalone platform or part of a bigger strategy, it ultimately depends on your goals and resources. ProductHunt can be a great way to get early traction and feedback, but it's important to have a bigger strategy in place to sustain your growth and success. Consider using ProductHunt as part of a larger launch campaign that includes other channels such as social media, email, and content marketing.
