Question

Builders on PH, what's the best way to market your Product Hunt  launch?

Kostya Bolshukhin · Accepted Answer

Three things I prioritize in the next 2 weeks before my launch. 1 Standout Creatives good copy or visuals that pop in social media feeds and motivate you to stop and check out the post. 2. Double down on social channels I am best at. In my case it's LinkedIn — post daily — comment awesome posts daily — personalized outreach 3. Put time in writing thoughtful comments on PH.

@abhra_ch it indeed gets overwhelming to stay active across channels. Afaik, you can not promote products in Reddit communities :/

Abhra Chakraborty · Answer

@kritarthmittal Not promoting.. But being a little bit creative and posting it on Roast my startup threads on reddit and asking for genuine user feedback might help. But you gotta pick your poison, because you have to be active and posting and engaging daily.

Abhra Chakraborty · Answer

@kritarthmittal Reddit has few such communities for startup builders where you can get some reach. Apart from that Hacker News is also there. Also, dont forget You Tube. Making shorts about your product are always helpful. 😉 But in my experience handling multiple platforms becomes a little tedious. Focusing on one yields better results unless you have a dedicated marketing team. 🤷‍♀️ Also Launching tomorrow man... Would love your support (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) 🤞

Answer

I’ve found that reaching out to relevant communities and forums before launching can be really helpful. Sharing your product with people who are interested in similar things can create buzz.

Answer

One  effective way I’ve seen is to leverage social media and connect with your network before the launch. It really helps to build anticipation.

@kostyabolsh insightful! Thanks for sharing, Kostya!

@eveertee_e Other than social media, what would you suggest? Are there any dedicated communities to support fellow builders?

Kritarth Mittal · Answer

@sitara_ismail Interesting take! But there's a good chance that all beta users are not on PH. So what are the other ways to get support around here?

Kritarth Mittal · Answer

Are you aware of or part of any such communities @idris_saidu ?

Sitara Ismail · Answer

Getting feedback from your beta users and using their testimonials in your launch materials can add credibility and attract more attention
