New to Product Hunt and looking to launch my first product soon, any tips?

I created a GPT last week for the launch phase. It's based on three of the best guides to ProductHunt launches. You can ask it about anything related to the launch: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-LCNa...

Be clear about what your product does. Show how it helps people. Get feedback from users. Promote it on social media. Be patient and persistent. Good luck!

Be clear about what your product does

If it’s possible, let people try it for free or at least give some discount for early access.

As someone already wrote, just be clear about what the product does. Sometimes I find quite hard to understand what some listed products do

It's great that you're about to launch your first product. A few tips for a successful launch: Preparation is key: Make sure you prepare your product page carefully. Clear, appealing images and a concise description that emphasises the benefits of your product are crucial. Community engagement: Get actively involved in the community before the launch. Comment and support other products to gain visibility. Gather pre-feedback: Use your network and early adopters to gather feedback on your product and make improvements before you launch it on Product Hunt. Plan the launch day: Choose a day for the launch when you can be active and respond to comments and questions. Interacting with the community on launch day can be very valuable. Promotion: Use your own social networks and channels to draw attention to your launch. An email campaign to your subscribers can also be very effective. Find a hunter: If possible, find an experienced "Hunter" on Product Hunt to feature your product. This can increase visibility. Good luck with your launch! It's an exciting journey.

Hi Josh! Welcome to PH community 😊 My one piece of advice would be to have a very clear plan of action. If you don’t have a large network of people who will be ready to support you on the launch day, you’ve got to start working on that. Decide on what you need to do, set the steps and mark it as done or to do as you go along.

Absolutely! Launching your first product on Product Hunt can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Here are some valuable tips to ensure a successful launch: Firstly, focus on creating a compelling and engaging product description that clearly outlines the problem your product solves and its unique features. Secondly, leverage your network by sharing your launch with friends, family, and colleagues to garner initial traction and feedback. Additionally, engage with the Product Hunt community by participating in discussions and providing value to other users. Lastly, consider utilizing AiToolsKit.ai, an All-in-one platform offering a suite of AI, SEO, writing, YouTube, and social media tools for free, to enhance your product's visibility and reach. Good luck with your launch! https://bit.ly/ph-product

Engagement with community, fruitful discussion (stick to the topics) and staying in touch with people (I write with many of them on LI).

Here for all the useful replies. Thanks for asking a great question ✨

No hacks. Just hard work. 1. No tips will save you if you don't have a good product, clear website, and simple onboarding. 2. You can't ask for upvotes, mass message users, or DM strangers on messengers (WhatsUp, Telegram). The PH team removes fake upvotes, and you might get disqualified completely 3. Prepare all PH assets for your launch 4. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others' discussions). 5. Create your Coming Soon page. Share it on PH, Twitter, LinkedIn. 6. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch. 7. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter. 8. Clean your launch day and the day after that. 9. Check your website, analytics, and the onboarding process. 10. Check your welcome email sequence. 11. Engage in real-time. 12. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day. 13. DM people on your launch day with a reminder. 14. Join relevant groups and chats. Support people there. 15. Track your progress with tools like hunted.space or Product Wars 2 16. Prepare social media posts, announcements for communities, emails. 17. If you have a team, assign responsibilities. 18. If you have investors/current customers or work with influencers, send them a reminder before and on your launch day 19. Ask happy users and customers about reviews. 20. Analyze your results, share updates, and say thank you. Here's everything (and more) in Notion: https://olenabomko.gumroad.com/l...

Remember the launch lasts 24 hours. All this time you need be in touch with audience

I am also launching my first product soon, but I have another account that I use to buy and test products on here. I am very much an early adapter. So this is me as a customer. The one thing I think everyone is missing is this: REPLY back to your users. I will take my time to message your team when I run into a bug or can't get the tool to work. Please write back and be helpful. I bought your tool because I support what you are building. You took the risk of building a company, and I took the risk of paying for and testing your product. I am already a fan when I am using your product, but you can quickly turn me into a detractor when you ignore me or is cold to my questions.

Be consistent, connect with how much ever people you can

Tell a story about your product. Why did you create it? What problem does it solve?

Be active on social media like Product Hunt, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
