Ok so most you my friends know I’m launching soon! Feb 5th and many of you have already supported me which I am beyond grateful and you know will support you back. ♥️ https://www.producthunt.com/products/rei-litics The challenge is on launch day, especially as I don’t have a huge team to split up the work load. Just me and my rockstar CTO who is focusing on making sure everything runs smoothly with the product. That leaves me to make sure the launch is successful. Here is my game plan and for those who have launched kindly share your experience 1. Create a launch day checklist (places to post/share) 2. Create different copy for posts/reach outs etc. (Although my individual reach outs are going to be personalized and not basic cut copy paste) I value true effort for reach outs 3. Time blocking. Reach outs vs responding to comments. 4. Adjusting sleep cycle to wake up on launch time and feel rested. 5. Take day off from my full time job (😅) yes I’m working on my business and working full time. I have no life. 6. Have a dog walker so I focus on the marathon 24h I need 7. Drinking plenty of water and have food ready. Is there anything else?

Great plan! It sounds like you've covered all the essential tasks for a successful launch day. One additional suggestion would be to leverage your existing network and ask friends, family, and colleagues to help spread the word about your launch on their social media platforms. This can significantly increase your reach and visibility. Best of luck with your launch!

remember to take breaks and give yourself some grace throughout the day. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and taking care of yourself will ultimately contribute to your success.

@markk0217 thanks Markk, this is well needed. I would have come sprinting out the gate and probably burnt out by 11am

Multitasking good quality.

@ixord thanks, certainly not easy

You will smash it Slim! Juggling a full time role while building and planning a launch is not for the lighthearted. So you obviously have what it takes :-). I would also add expect the unexpected and use multiple devices to help you multitask !

@simona_o_neill3 I’m going to take your advice on this! Thank you
@simona_o_neill3 that’s genius!! If my computer fails, it would be a disaster. Will have back up! Thank you Simona!!

@slimmy82 Happens all the time, so during important events I have at least two laptops and two phones by my side 😉

Are there specific platforms or communities where you expect the most engagement? Allocating more time there might maximize impact.

Just incredible. I wasn't paying many attention to our upcoming launch planning... but this motivated me too! Just made a 4-day sprint for the marketing team :)

@alvarovillalb_ awesome!! Glad it helped. I’ll share the outcome and what I would do differently after launch

Take day off from my full time job (😅) yes I’m working on my business and working full time. I have no life. I feel this statement. What are some other ways I can support you?

@ar_bell I feel this statement too. It can't get harder than living the Dual Life and Running a Startup While Working Full-Time.

@ar_bell glad I’m not the only one. I really appreciate it, just supporting on the day and if you can sharing the project with your network would be so appreciated. I would 100% return the favor, I hope that goes without saying!
