I can share my experience of a failed PH launch in the past. Don't think it will magically get traction, you need to work on it extensively pre-release. This is a checklist I have bookmarked and am trying to implementing before launching my own product at PH. Good luck! https://coda.io/@deepak-yadav/ph...

Make sure that your onboarding workflow is working. Make sure that you have proper analytics setup on your website. GA with conversion goal to track signups at least. A heatmap tool like SmartLook is also good to have to analyse your onboarding.

@fabian_maume oh, great! thanks for the tool!

I am doing my fourth launch. - Use templates for the messages. - Become part of community before asking for a visit. - Understand that timing of your launch is very important. - Build relationships with hunters instead of asking them to just open their network. Here you can read more about my launch strategy. https://docs.google.com/document... In the next month I will transform this document to an actionable guide. Follow me if you want to be updated when it releases.

@eugeneyarovoy Wait until I launch my comprehensive guide on how to maximize your product hunt launch.

Set up a product hunt sign up page and gather a bit of support and audience for your launch day by joining some communities, meeting other makers and gathering followers on the platform. This will help get more eyes on your product in the first few hours so you can stay on the first page. Currently building a community where makers support makers with tips and resources. Always welcome to join, just paste this in your search bar: space.new/w/2k5rz9o

Good luck with the launch :) I have not launched a product here on Product Hunt myself, Timesheet awaits [https://www.technuf.com/timesheet]; but what I have seen people doing here is A LOT of networking prior to the launch. Be active on ProductHunt, be supportive and open to communicate and it will be great!
