We focused on building a strong pre-launch community and engaged actively with our audience. Additionally, we leveraged social media and partnerships to maximize visibility and drive traffic on launch day.

We got #5 and I think it was mostly community - personal outreach by all team members.

Leveraging my existing audience was key. I built anticipation pre-launch through email, social, and my blog. On launch day I rallied my network to engage and upvote early to boost the algorithm. Targeted outreach to relevant influencers and communities also drove quality traffic. Responding to all comments kept engagement high. It's a lot of prep work but creates compounding results!
