When is the best time of the day to be active on Product Hunt?

As I'm trying to be more active in the community, I'm curious to know when the best time to engage with you all is. Should I try to engage early in the day when launches are happening, half-way through the day when some steam is gone, or much later in the day after the hype of the day's launches is gone?

Are you assuming that launches are early in the morning or you did research? 😊 Following, I’m curious too

@lana_dem I actually saw a notice from Product Hunt when I was launching that they start the launches at around midnight. So I was going with that 😅

Early, right after the day's launches

@darly_selby I thought this too. Why do you think this is the best time?

due to the difference in time zones, i believe there is no "best time" on PH. just hop on when you're free

Since users are globally and therefore someone in Japan joining after work can communicate with someone from Europe when its day for them, I would say it does not matter so much when you are active rather the content you engage with.

Brian, engaging early in the day when products are just launching can give you a great start, as you're part of the initial conversations and excitement. However, contributing later also has its perks, as you can offer more thoughtful insights after the initial buzz has settled and discussions have deepened.

@john_davis20 Nice! Do you feel like your interaction are more impactful around that time?

There are several periods - start when America wakes up, then Europe and Asia. The main activity is 2-3 hours at the beginning of each period. But I also recommend being in touch the rest of the time.

@sergeipetrov Ah, this is great advice. This sounds like how people interact with the different stock markets haha but it's great stuff!

@wajahat_aitoolskit Thanks for sharing this Wajahat! It's very comprehensive. How do you go about starting to create content and creating ideas for content if you haven't really started anything yet? Also, I'll definitely check out AiToolsKit!

@bingeisland I first do content research using "Trending topics finder" available on AiToolsKit.ai then I go to "Youtube trending videos Research tool" available on the same platform. After doing the research, I take help of "Youtube title, description and tags generator" tools of AiToolsKit.ai and then create content according to the trend. I then do social media marketing on Instagram using "Instagram trending hashtags generator" tool of AiToolsKit.ai I hope it helps.

Interesting question I am always on here to see if I can provide some helpful answers. I always assume that good answer will naturally be upvoted and seen. Never really thought about the best time to be on this platform.

@atticusli That's exactly why I posted this discussion. Hopefully we'll all see the preferred time for everyone to engage on Product Hunt 😅

At 3AM. You always get that 3AM motivation.

@bingeisland When you suddently wake up at 3AM and you just want to crank some work and pushups. It happens to me all the time.

Early engagement after the day's launches can be beneficial to catch initial attention, consider the midpoint of the day for sustained interactions as well. It allows for broader visibility beyond the initial rush and ensures you're part of ongoing conversations.
