Want to know how to crack your launch? Magnetiq had two badges at first launch, feel free to AMA! 🔥

@patrick_kessler Hi Patrick, Yes that is how it works. PH counts votes btw Monday - Sunday, at the end of each week you receive the badge.

@elifduran Hi Elif, Thanks for the kind support! We pretty much announced our launch through all platforms. Some to give some idea for you: - Slack Groups - IndieHackers - Facebook Startup/Entrepreneurship Groups - LinkedIn - and many others :)

@elifduran @omer_ersin you can literally start a side hustle offering the same level of service that you made your product go through and earn on the side. People will pay for this. :D

@elifduran @omer_ersin I've never found much success in FB groups. Do you mind sharing a few that have good engagement?

@elifduran @omer_ersin @jonathan_nass It would be helpful for me too

@elifduran @jonathan_nass Hi Jonathan, rather than PH communities at Facebook, groups for entrepreneurs and startups will have a better outcome as they are actually groups with engagement.

@cem_bulut Cem, you have not seen any tips on promoting a project on Kickstarter, I really need help)

@olga_maslo Olga, actually I don't know about promoting a project on Kickstarter. I'm sorry I don't have any tips. Let me know if you have any questions about launching on Product Hunt.

@selin_anil Çok teşekkür ederiz Selin, thank you! :) I hope you have a very successful launch! We think that more active users contribute more to the ranking, as well as more followers getting notified about your launch. So it is important to reach out to the people actively contributing to PH community.

@martin_demkowicz Thank you Marcin. Our first priority was to get as much feedback as possible. We received a lot of feedback and also gained a significant number of users.

@justin_govy Thank you Justin! We launched on a Thursday, that is a competitive one. More competition means kind of risking your daily badge while you get more traffic and more attention so it is a plus for the weekly badge actually. Earlier in the week does not necessarily help because weekly rankings are not only based on the number of votes, and your hype ends after the launch day so not significant amount of votes are added after the launch day.

@dan_yes Hi Daniyar, I'd prefer an account with more followers, more users will be notified. It's not important if the founder hunted the product so I'd focus on notifying more users insted

@cem_ozcelik makes sense, thanks. But what if the product was launched already once (a year ago) by the founder, can I still hunt it from my account for example? I know that you can launch every 6 months, but can it be any person? Thanks in advance for your kind response!

@cem_ozcelik @dan_yes That's a great question. Although we have not experienced this case at first hand, we've seen some second launches hunted by different people than their first one, so it is possible to do that.

@marko_rakic2 Our first touch was one day before the launch and the second one was within the launch day. We would not want to spam people with notifications all over the week or throughout the day. We just wanted to remind them that we were launching that day.

@jas801 Thank you Jasper! I would not consider our strategy automated, we've mostly worked on community building. To answer your second question, we believe the top factor was the product itself, marketing campaign helped it boost.

@david_sipos1 Hey Dávid! You can find the details of how we prepared here in this blog post: https://usemagnetiq.com/en/blog/... Please feel free to shoot any questions!

@mehran_najafi Hi Mehran, we've mostly gone with one-on-one communication with our early adopters, we're working on the next phases in community building.
