... know this topic has been here a million times (and people will still ask me a few more times after that). I personally see advantages in both cases, but maybe one more advantage when it comes to launching during the week. Very briefly: Launching during the week  strongest days (Tue, Wed, Thurs) More people see your product (but higher competition) Higher traffic to your page if you are featured Launching during the weekend Sat, Sun Higher chance of getting ... ... rankings for 3 4 extra days is a huge advantage. And Product of the Week brings additional traffic. One downside of launching on Friday or Saturday is that you won t be included in Product Hunt s daily newsletter

I recorded a video about that (there is that part included): https://youtu.be/STa63l37qQ0 Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic as always, Nika!

... made apps with a unique approach seem to do a lot better. I'm not sure what my next launch will be, but I will build social proof and momentum way before launching here.

I do like his profile. Comment from Tetiana(@tetianai): Such a great topic

... curious: what other strategies have you tried to engage with PH s active community? (In terms of finding, connecting with them and asking for help). Feel free to share your POV. Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic, Nika! One of my absolute favorites.

So, I m leaning into community and writing about topics

... Hunt forums (topics) Which source of information do you think is worth following? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @stephane_paillard  Do you have favourite creators? Comment from Ansh Deb(@ansh_deb): I'm with you on the paid sources being higher quality. The Economist is solid. For me, I've built a pretty mixed stack: Hacker News - not just for tech trends, but the comment sections often have deeper insights than the articles Substack newsletters

... curious how people actually do it. There are tons of stories about founders launching SaaS products without an existing audience. No Twitter following, no newsletter, no community, nothing. Yet some still manage to get early traction and even hit real MRR. If you have started from zero, I would love to hear: How you got your first users What channels brought the earliest traction Whether cold outreach works or not If content played a role or if you focused mainly ... ... definitely the thing I wish I did first time around, and it s what I m focusing on now. Again, not just networking, but creating a community of potential customers/users where people get to discuss a variety of topics

I am pretty sure that such stories would deserve blog or newsletter

... yourself visible after the launch is another crucial topic, because it can create a "buzz". These are activities that I believe would help highlight the previous launch and maintain its momentum: I usually spotted personalised DMs to supporters. Some people released PR (when the launch was successful) but they also tied it with next steps to announce something probably was a part of the strategy. Social media posts.
