What piece of advice would you give to a person launching their product for the first time on PH?

Indeed, making connections and supporting others too is really important. I would also recommend asking for feedback before the launch, checking guides like https://get.leanbe.ai/product-hu..., giving offers, explaining the benefits and unique features of the product, preparing a demo video, testing, and not forgetting about the relevance of quality and design.

Sunny, i tell you tomorrow after later this week. I missed too much before the launch! xD

BUILD STRONG COMMUNITY! Don't test built your community

Maximize your presence, and talk with makers.

Follow the official guide for how to grow your visibility - a lot of organic engagement and actually using Product Hunt yourself!

Create a detailed publishing plan and follow up on every task, ensuring that no aspects are overlooked such as titles, copywriting, and thumbnail images. Try to expand your community, ideally one where members can help one another by introducing your product and garnering support via comments and upvotes. This will improve your product's ranking and generate positive exposure. Engage in conversations and interactions on communities and platforms which are relevant to your product. All of these steps are necessary. If these have been executed well, then you only have one last thing to worry about - that the product released on the same day as yours did not require as much effort as yours, even if it's meant as a joke, take a moment to appreciate the meaning behind it.
