What do we need to do?

by

Hi everyone!
We are less than a month away from launching Anchored Growth here on Product Hunt! We're excited to show y'all what we have been building.
I would love to use this opportunity to the max and dive into the community here. Our goal for this launch is to gain more beta users. Beta user feedback has already helped with the design of Anchored Growth so much.


For those who have done this before, any advice on what we should focus on before, during and after our launch?

Congrats on the upcoming launch 🤝that final month before going live is where the real work starts 😅 From what I’ve seen (and from prepping for my own launch soon), the biggest thing is community. Product Hunt rewards warm audiences way more than cold traffic, so the more you build real visibility before launch day, the better. A few things that help: • Engage daily on PH so people recognize your face before launch day (30 per day is something) • Build a small circle of supporters with active accounts — this matters way more than a big audience (I've heard that PH doesn't count the feedbacks from people who just open accounts to comment on their acquaintance's product. They usually count accounts that have been here for over 4wks). • Post your story everywhere else (LinkedIn, X, small communities). PH isn’t enough on its own. And depending on your product, I'd suggest you try TikTok too. • After launch, follow up with every commenter — that’s where the real feedback comes. I’m a launch + content strategist too, so I’ve seen how easy it is to underestimate the pre-launch phase. It’s great that you’re already thinking about beta user flow, that’s what keeps traction going after the hype dies down. What’s your biggest focus right now: getting signups, polishing the product, or building your warm audience? Lastly, remember to use feedback from audiences to make contents especially on LinkedIn. Have an active LinkedIn profile (it's a huge advantage). I've written so much so I'd stop here 😊😊congratulations once again. You can reach out to me if you have more questions.

@george_esther This is amazing! Thank you!
I'm doubling down on connecting with people that I'm following here on LinkedIn too.

Should I post often in the forums here as well?
