Should we find a Hunter to hunt or by ourselves?

You should hunt by yourself IMO :)

Hunters are good at helping you understand how the PH works and help you in building everything.

Theres no significant difference

If you need a hunter, I am willing to!

I hunt myself.

Nowadays, Hunter's followers won't get notifications when your product goes live. So, if you want a hunter for the sake of upvotes, you don't need a hunter. But, having a hunter will help you 1. Build credibility for your product: Since hunters are active for a long time on product hunt, if anyone checks the product is hunted by them, they will most likely check out the product. 2. Planning Product Hunt launch: Hunters know a lot of ins and outs in product hunt launches. they can help you with from generating buzz to creating product hunt assets. So, if you want a hunter for any of the 2 reasons above, you should get a hunter.

Hunt by yourself but make connections to get guidance. There are many experienced community members with whom you can connect. It is a vibrant community willing to answer any questions that you might have.

Hunt yourselves. PH actually recommends this: https://www.producthunt.com/laun...? - scroll down slowly until you see the "hunter" section.

For those planning their launch, here's some advice: Hunt yourself versus orchestrating the hunt via a hunter. If you wish to really leverage the role of the hunter, get a hunter that offers at least one or more of these: — Product Feedback — Novel Launch Tips — Shares launch on their social and community or create a Discussion Post on PH — Makes a genuine endorsement of the product in a category they have some expertise in There's no guarantee of the notifications. Especially from accounts of those hunters who are hunting hundreds of products their followers are not checking every notification from them. I am a Hunter. I have hunted ~60 products this year. If anyone would like my help, feel free to reach out. :)

I am also new to PH, and commenting here to follow the thread and hear from PH veterans!

You can go by yourself. Just create a strong Community to support you guys.

We've decided to hunt ourselves, but I don't see any big differences

It's interesting to see mixed comments here. Either way, work hard and network to be on the safe side.

In October, I will do my first launch and I hunt myself. I hope it will be good :D

Honestly speaking, I got the same question as you before I hunt the product. Should I do it myself or find those who have golden medal icon do this for me. And then I ask myself why not？So I just do it myself.

This is something I've struggled to answer. Myself and @gusoliveira_ have gone back and fourth on the best strategy for this and still don't have a concrete resolution.

I think better to hunt yourself. But be ready that you need to start engaging here before launch.

Both work fine if you are confident in your product. I hunted my first product yesterday on my own, it was a journey of 24 hours full of different emotions, a rollercoaster ride. Enjoy it. :)

They are meant to give you feedback! which is essential for your product's growth!
