I just want to gain experience, it doesn't have to be anything crazy. I'm okay if the launch won't perform excellently.

@sentry_co Great tip Andre, thank you. Any common examples of how to drive traffic to PH?

@tymzap Get people to sign up to your coming soon page. Shows that you have reach. PH loves that. 100-1k is a good range. Use linkedin and your network. Write a great DM that converts. Most dms are horrible. So here you can have a lot of impact with little work. Build up to your launch day. Twitter. SoMe. etc. That's about it. And make sure your product is featurable, look at what's being featured, and then look at what's not being featured. Make sure your product is well within the featurable range, if you're not sure, try launching on the weekend when there is less competition. Featurable products excel in on of these metrics: 1. Creative 2. Innovative 3. Useful 3. Craftsmanship. A combo of one of these is all it takes.

Can't stress on this enough: Your tagline is super critical. That might be one of the most important factor.

Always launch 🚀, see it as a journey, not a destination! Good luck!

Sharing direct links to the launch page to ask for upvotes isn’t penalized by Product Hunt. Some of our backers thought otherwise, but it’s a myth. Using direct links actually optimizes outreach significantly.

@hennrunnel Interesting. Thank you Henn.

I haven’t launched on PH yet, so please share your insights with me afterward! Our product is ready, but I’m still unsure about the best timing for our launch.

@dcupl Set up the 'Coming Soon' page as early as possible and start reaching out to gather early backers.

Hey, don't sweat it! Your first launch doesn't have to break records – it's all about learning. Treat it like a first date: exciting, a bit nerve-wracking, but full of potential. Speaking of first dates, you might want to check out "Her Ideal Match" to get some data-driven insights for your dating profiles. Good luck, you've got this!

@thestarkster Exactly my thoughts, no need to be stressed. I don't even expect any direct conversions from the launch.
