Featured products vs everything else

I'm planning my first Product Hunt launch and trying to figure out how certain products are selected to be featured. Do any experienced hunters have advice about how to improve your chances of getting featured?

Building a solid notify page waiting list or just making a better product than the ones that are not featured.

@sentry_co Thanks for the feedback. We're working on the waiting list, as we suspected that might help. As far as building a better product, I've seen some very good products, including some that I use personally and know are legit, that haven't been featured. So my confidence level on that being the deciding factor is low.
@marc_andre1 This day and age. Since AI entered the scene anyone can spin up a lookalike product in 2 minutes. So it's just an avalanche of crap being launched. And the PH doesn't have the resources to filter, so some slip away, and some crap gets featured. it is what it is. A mix of a gd product, and some marketing wizardry will ensure featured status tho. Waitlist with 1k profiled people, make sure your visuals are eye candy and have a strong USP that you communicate clearly. DM support if it doesn't get featured immediately. I'll post a pre-launch community post tmrw with does and donts. stay tuned!
I need the answer to that as well
