Launching soon!
Personally, I swear by detailed planning and preparation. From creating a launch checklist to scheduling promotional activities, having everything mapped out helps ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
My go-to strategy is leveraging influencers and partners. Collaborating with people who already have a following in your niche can really amplify the reach and credibility of your launch.
Great question!
The best part about a great Product Hunt launch is that it all comes down to good planning and knowing who you’re aiming for. Nail those two things, and you've got the foundation to stand out.
First, know your audience. If you’re not speaking their language, your launch might just fall flat.
Then, get started early. A great launch doesn’t happen overnight. It might take a good 4-6 weeks, sometimes even more.
Build your base. Use social media (especially Buildinpublic on Twitter), newsletters. Make sure you’ve got a squad ready to back you up on launch day.
That's 80% of the secret.
Hyping it before the launch with the means that you have, try getting the users excited, have engagement activities started before a couple of months before the launch. It's pretty simple, but the effectiveness depends on the execution and the means.
My secret sauce for a successful launch is building anticipation early and focusing on genuine engagement. I prioritize gathering feedback from our core audience before the launch to fine-tune the product and ensure it truly meets their needs. This creates excitement and a sense of ownership in the community, making the launch feel like a shared win
I have to find something that is great .

For me, the secret sauce is all about building relationships before the launch. I make sure to engage with the community early, share valuable insights, and get feedback on what really matters to them. That way, when launch day comes, it feels more like a conversation than a sales pitch
I don't sleep at night and focus on my launch
A big part of my approach is focusing on the user experience. Ensuring that the product is polished and user-friendly before launch often leads to positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations.
I wont tell you😂😂😂😂
Having a detailed launch plan is key for me. I make sure to set milestones and assign tasks to keep the process organized and on track.
First of all, I tell my team then i expand my outreach
I have found that building a community before the launch really helps. Engaging with potential users early on creates excitement and valuable feedback.
I don't stay active myself i tell tea, to stay active i am just joking i stay active 24 hours
I agree, Hamza. For me, it’s all about having a clear and actionable launch plan. Detailed planning and timing can really make a launch stand out and create a strong impact.
