How do you warm up the community (potential voters) before the Product Hunt launch?
I would like to follow up on the previous discussion on How far in advance do you prepare your launch on Product Hunt?
In this case, I would like to share with you, but also listen to you in a brainstorming session:
What activities do you use to activate the community and potential upvoters for your upcoming launch?
I would start with the most basic ones.
The "Notify me" page
DM existing Product Hunt users on social media – make sure they are available on the weekend (write in advance and on launch day)
If you have existing product users, remind them too
Convert non-existent platform users to create an account on Product Hunt (in advance)
Posting on social media
PR article/filling in media space (podcasts, videos) – where you mention the launch in between your speech
Increased activity on Product Hunt and in private group chats/communities (e.g. WA, Discord, Slack)
Reminder email sequences.
I would be happy if you could share other tactics that have worked for you in activating the community. :)
