Hi All,
My name is Tim & I am new to PH. I am planning to hunt a product that I have been working on, but wanted to get some advice about building a launch plan.
PH has some great resources available (this blog post has been super helpful: https://blog.producthunt.com/how-to-launch-on-product-hunt-7c1843e06399), but I also wanted to get advice from experienced Hunters.
1. What are the best things my team can focus on leading up to launch?
2. How much lead time should we give ourselves?
3. Any resources for launch advice you would recommended?
Thank you!

Lead time will depend on how successful the launch you want. If your product is quite an early stage I would recommend you to make a no-frill launch targeting the top 20: https://medium.com/@fabian-maume...
If you want to reach the top 5: this is my action plan (all tasks have their own lead-time): https://docs.google.com/spreadsh...
I would strongly advise your team to be active in product hunt discussions at least 2 weeks before the launch.

/@fabian @fabian_maume thank you!
This is great information. Your experience described in the Medium article is very interesting and will definitely help us in mapping out the resources we will dedicate to the effort. The Google Sheet is a massive help as well - great summary of all the considerations and cadence. Thanks again!
I have put together a guide for launching on Product Hunt. Happy to help with more insider tips if you want. I have guided lots of Product Hunt launches, had 10+ N1 products of the day and 3 Golden Kitty awards. Connect with me over LN, I will share the guide: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lian...
@liana_karapetyan7 Hi Liana, following you in linked in - would love to see the guide you have, since I am also preparing for an app launch and need some guidance!
