Advantages of launching during the week vs. Advantages of launching during the weekend (Explained)

I 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 a placement, Product of the day – Less competition

• And also fewer people on the platform, lower visibility

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages; it depends on the preferences and goals of the individual.

So why do I think that during the week is better?

Because during the week:

– You are not only trying for a badge (placement), but you are also exposing your product to a wider audience.

– You can get "just" a badge during the weekend, and the publicity won't be as much.

Yes, it's arguable that the badge works as a trustbuilder in the long run when you get it.

But imagine getting a badge + publicity. (during the work week) It is still > having "only" a badge (weekend)

I'm curious about how you see Product Hunt scheduling on individual days and what suits you more with your product launch.
