Dreamdata Audience Hub won the 2nd Product of the Day on Product Hunt  🥈 I was their hunter. Here are my 3 biggest learnings from this launch: 1. It was a big launch. Product Hunt was just a part of it.  A lot of startups make a big mistake relying only on Product Hunt. And they do random acts of marketing to gain top positions.  Dreamdata has an established go-to-market strategy. During their launch, they doubled down on it. BUT it depends on the maturity of your startup and your goals. Will not work for a startup with 0 customers and no audience. 2. All their team was involved. That’s how you promote your launch as a startup. 3. This is a marathon. The team was active on LinkedIn before the launch. The team is active on LinkedIn after the launch. The launch day was just more intensive. Thank you everyone for your amazing support!

Good learnings - especially helpful as we're trending at #2 with our launch today as well:) just shared this with the team. I feel like most of the value from PH nowadays is from residual benefits (SEO, backlinks, newsletter mentions) rather than launch day itself. What are your thoughts on this?

Indeed, Olena. If I were to create a list of priorities, my ranking would be as follows, starting from number three and moving up to number one.

Congratulations @olenabomko. That's quite an achievement honestly and great to see how the whole team worked on it. I had one question though, what do you think you would have done differently to get to #1

@olenabomko That's nice. But don't you think being #1 gives you more leverage to be in front of the right customers?

Do you recommend launching on product hunt the day when you create your MVP or after having some user base after the initial MVP? Just wanna be clear. Thank you for sharing this!!

Okay, All their team members were active in Linkedin before/after the launch. The launch day was more intensive. Alright what did they do, how their online presence in LinkedIn helped your launch ? I am curious because we are launching very soon
