A question for the experience Product Hunt launchers!

Find good connections inside and outside the platform

My advice would be to prepare for the unexpected. No matter how well you plan, something will always come up.

Talking to users!

Connect with potential users

Lots of great ideas here. To summarize: 1) Be active on discussions (@azza_shahid) 2) Perfect your product and website (@gene__carter) 3) Build buzz by sharing on social media (@mark_c_stroupe) 4) Prepare your launch assets (@_jesse_t_g) 5) Connect with influencers and early adopters (@da_vid_grunwald) and early adopters (@dinda_nancy)

Not only what @azza_shahid says. Focus on your positioning, messaging, and creative. There are many similar products in the market, what is your differentiation and elevator pitch? That hook is golden!

Connect with influencers and potential supporters who can help amplify your launch day.

I've done a few launches on PH before. My key tips: 1) Build an audience beforehand through social media, email list, etc. 2) Prep assets like images, gifs, and a video beforehand. 3) Get some initial upvotes lined up for launch day from friends, family, colleagues. 4) Be super active in the comments, answer every question. 5) Keep the momentum going after launch by posting updates. Hope this helps!
