I just created a Valentine's Game that you can remix and modify to personalize it on Framer. It's live on PD and would love to get some reactions on it!
Product Hunt offers you a 'Launching Soon' tag next to your name. When you comment on other recently launched products and offer genuine feedback, their makers are likely to check out what you're building. Good luck. :)
And here are things we did for my productized service to get 10 paying customers before launch:
Pre Launch
1.We shared our challenges and asked for feedback during the building phase (design, user persona, pricing, marketing, basically anything).
2. Help and support others, and make friends on Twitter.
3.Engaged in conversations where people are talking about the problem we were solving (you can use F5Bot, a free service that emails you when your selected keywords are mentioned on Reddit or Hacker News).
Soft-Launch
4. Create a no-brainer offer and DM potential users to share their feedback.
5. Reach out to users over DM of our previous product.
6. Joined the PH community on LinkedIn and ask for feedback if they are our ICP.
About to Launch
7. Promoted our product in the communities of products we used to build your product (like @Softr , a no code website builder, has a community)
8. Joined the community of founders/creators we love (my favorite is @Morning Maker Show )
9. Promoted our product on "pitch your product" tweets.
10. Launched on launchpads like @Uneed , @Microlaunch
11. Launched our product on relevant platforms and directories. If you don't have time, I will be happy to help with Submission part with Boringlaunch. We submit AI startups to 100+ platforms in 7 days. (PS: I am founder of Boringlaunch)
Nothing hits harder than engaging in PH launches at least 2 weeks before your own drop. Plus, sharing the products you love on Twitter and tagging their makers is a pure magic. And yeah, staying active in build-in-public groups helps a ton.
PS: Nothing beats personally reaching out for support on launch day. :)
@whatshivamdo great advice! thank you Shivam! I'm planning to do so a week before and D day too !
Report
I've seen really good promotions from TikTok, getting almost 100k followers just from someone promoting their day-to-day before their launch. Granted it's more matcha products, and not a tech product.
But I mean I understand not everything is going to get traction but if you can find the community and start documenting your day to day to start getting traction and followers.

I'm in the same boat. building a community is really not easy 😣
Keep going, Q ! you can do it
I'm looking for the answers as well. After trying twice before without the success I hoped for, I’ve realized there’s still so much to learn. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure where things went wrong (whether it was the messaging, timing, or simply not engaging the right audience in the right way)
As I prepare for the upcoming launch of TeamPal, I’d love to hear your launch advices!

@gamifykaran thanks! I Did register on F5bot!
@gamifykaran great list. I will check out your service as well.
@bennieblanco Thanks Ben, happy to help. You can DM me here in case you have any questions.
talk about what you're working on, from the start.
then, when it comes to (pre)launch, you'll have a crowd bought into what you're doing and happy to support your next move - the launch.
