Here are some tips for launching a product on Product Hunt
Create a personal account
Avoid using company names, logos, or branding to help maintain high-quality user discourse.
Choose a memorable name
Make sure your name is short, easy to remember, and unique.
Write a tagline
Clearly communicate what your product does.
Write a concise description
Highlight your product's unique features and benefits.
Use high-quality visuals
Use images and videos to showcase your product's features and benefits.
Pick a launch date
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are usually the best days to launch, but competition is higher on these days than on weekends.
Build excitement
Let people know about your launch date before your launch.
Create a video
A 30-second video with text or subtitles is a great way to engage the community and explain your product.
Analyze your product
After your product is live, analyze how users are liking it and what improvements you can make.

@jaketital I have gained some great Launch tips following your posts. How is RAFA doing post launch?
@claytonwalker Thanks Clayton. Rafa went well. I was there to help with the go to market which we knocked it out of the park. There was another team that came in post launch to keep the momentum going .

Launching a product on Product Hunt successfully hinges on building a strong community around your product beforehand and ensuring you're active on launch day to engage with every comment and question. It's equally important to have a clear, compelling product story that resonates with the Product Hunt audience.
