We just secured#1 spot of July 1st, and the excitement is overwhelming, though we’re quite exhausted.🥰 To help more makers achieve success, I want to share our experience with this launch. Feel free to share your own insights in the comments.
1. Get Your “Coming Soon” Page Ready Early 🌞
Start working on your “Coming Soon” page at least two weeks ahead. This gives the Product Hunt team time to check out your project and content. Plus, it lets you spread the word and gather subscribers.
2. Email Your Current Users for support 📧
Shoot an email to your current users asking for their support, especially those with PH accounts. Our users were super excited, but many of their votes didn’t count because they had just registered.
3. Embed Your Launch Page on Your Site 🕸️
Putting the launch page on your website can bring in more traffic. We skipped this and missed out on some potential users.
4. Answer Comments Fast 💨
Make sure to reply to comments quickly. We didn’t have much help during our PH campaign, so our slow responses hurt our user engagement.
5. Use GIFs 🪁
Think about using GIF animations in your carousel. They can really show off your product’s features and highlights.
6. Grasp the situation📊.
The first four hours are crucial, but the main site doesn’t show the vote count. You can check real-time votes on Hunted Space.https://hunted.space/
🚀 Hope your launch goes smoothly, and every product is awesome. If you need my support, just reach out to me https://x.com/yue_su50897

Hey Julie, that's so kind of you!
1 Question, how old a profile should be to upvote for a product?
@rahul_agarwal23 Although there isn’t an official requirement, from others’ experiences, it’s best if account has been registered for at least a week and has had some interactions.
Hey Julie! That's so cute, thank you very much for sharing your experience! It is inspiring and gives me more confidence!! ♡♡♡
