1. Maintain a Streak on Product Hunt:
One way to get more visibility on Product Hunt is to maintain a daily streak by upvoting products. This puts you on the list of “The most active community members”, and when people launch their products, they might reach out to you for support as you have a good reputation in PH. This can help you build relationships with other makers and get more upvotes when it's your turn to launch.
2. Engage with Other Product's Social Media:
If you don't have a large social media following, you can engage with other products that have big followings. For example, on the day of my launch, I engaged with a fellow founder who had a big Twitter following, and at one point, he gave me a shoutout, and I got more visits from that tweet than upvotes. Engaging with other products can help you get more visibility and potentially more upvotes.
3. Announce Your Launch Multiple Times a Day:
The first two hours of your launch are the most critical, so you need to go all-in to get as many upvotes as possible during that time. After that, you can announce your launch multiple times a day on different platforms like communities, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, and blogs with a 2-3 hour break in between. This will keep your upvotes stable throughout the day and help you target different timelines.
4. Be shameless, don't spam:
When you don't have a huge social media following, it's very difficult to get your product noticed among other products that would have a big social media following. So be shameless in marketing your launch. Be active as much as you can. DM's could be a good way to get upvotes, but your hyper mindset on the day of launch may lead you into a spammer, which could hurt your future launches.
