Launch your product by yourself or get help from PH influencers?

I launched BodySherpa solo. Managed to get featured and finished #21 on the day with no outside social media push. I'm sure there was a healthy dose of luck involved in that. I know that at some cost PH influencers would've driven a higher finish, but the fact that I managed that solo definitely proved to me that its possible to have success here without them.

Getting help from PH influencers can give your product a big boost and reach a wider audience faster.

We haven’t used any influencers and still achieved the 2nd position as Product of the Day. However, if you want to compete for Product of the Week or Product of the Month, I’m afraid you should use as many channels as you can.

If your product is strong enough, you may be able to launch successfully on your own like we did. But influencers can definitely help amplify your message, especially if you're aiming for a top spot. I'd say use them if you can, but don't rely on them as a crutch for a mediocre product. Focus on building something great first and foremost.

I dont consider launching with influencers to leverage their following, but handling it yourself can give you more control.

Launching by yourself gives you full control over your message and timing, but collaborating with Product Hunt influencers can significantly boost your reach and credibility.
