Building up to a launch. Should a founder be worried if he/she doesn't have a lot of followers?

Question

Hey there! I wouldn't worry too much about not having a lot of followers before launching on Product Hunt. There are many other factors that contribute to a successful launch, such as the quality of your product, the way you market it, and the timing of your launch.

Igor Den · Answer

No, you should not. 
I had 0 followers when I launched my product and it gained 4th place of the day)

But you need support anyway, for example you can buy ads.

Hi there! I'm glad to hear you're launching your first product on Product Hunt. It's definitely a great way to get the word out about your product and attract early users.

I think that to have some followers is important. Sometimes I see that products have around 500+ followers. But it's not the key

By the way we are launching our product soon, look at my page ❤️
