I'd say be helpful, upvote and give useful feedback on the products. Engage other makers in the community and leave useful comments if you can. I'm in this phase as well and this is my strategy.

I think you need to do what’s best for you and your product. Look the advice is always in abundance but you need to figure out what’s the best approach for your product and your customers. Since that matters more than anything else.

Welcome to the PH community, Aaron! Make sure to build some buzz before you launch—engage with the community, get feedback, and refine your pitch so that on launch day, you're not just introducing a product, but telling a compelling story.

Aaron @aaronnotion

@cen_xu Thanks Vincent. People don't buy a product, they buy a solution. So telling a story is really important.

For a Product Hunt launch, focus on building a community around your product beforehand, prepare thorough and engaging launch material, and actively engage with feedback during the launch day for the best impact.

Aaron @aaronnotion

@chiara_sw Thanks. Does the launch day have greater impacts on success? I heard that I shouldn’t launch on weekdays.

@chiara_sw what is the best way to build a community around the product before it launched?

Launching soon!

@missglendia @aaronnotion I've often heard people say that one month is the ideal time for a launch (it's the time period I'm waiting, atleast). So yeah, go ahead and announce!

Product hunt : Step 1 - Find the day that u gonna launch ....... Monday/Tuesday lot of traffic but also lot of competition Friday&weeknd less competition but less traffic at the same time Step 2 - Find ur own hunter ....... ! = rare to find Have to book them in advance (1 month before) ....... Step 3 - Prepare ur hunter kit&launch Ideal time for launch on product hunt is TWO MONTHS = one month for preparation of the assets = one month warming up and building up the launch day .......
