Before launching a product, the most worthwhile things to focus on are:

1. Know Your Audience: Ensure you deeply understand the problem you’re solving and who you’re solving it for. Tailor everything. From the product to the messaging around their needs.
2. Test Your Core Functionality: A buggy product can kill momentum. Make sure your core features work seamlessly and deliver real value.
3. Build Momentum: Create excitement pre-launch through teasers, email lists, or early-access programs. Engaged users are your biggest advocates.
4. Refine Your Messaging: Craft a clear, concise, and compelling story about your product that communicates its value in seconds.
5. Plan Your Launch Day: Have a detailed plan for outreach, community engagement, and responding to feedback. First impressions matter.

Execution is key, but preparation sets the stage for success.

Great suggestions! I'd add a couple more: 6. Line up influencers/partners: Find bloggers, social media influencers, and complementary products to help spread the word on launch day. 7. Prep customer support: Make sure you're ready to quickly handle user questions, feedback and issues post-launch. Momentum is key and you don't want preventable customer service snafus derailing you. Getting those core items dialed in pre-launch sets you up for success! 🚀

Before launching, I focus on testing everything thoroughly to make sure it works smoothly, and I start building anticipation by promoting it early on social media.

Matthew David Harris · Answer

Definitely get user feedback early! Set up a beta program, landing page, or email list to gather interest and insights before the full launch. It'll help refine your messaging and catch any issues. And don't underestimate the power of building buzz - dropping teasers and getting the word out to your target audience is huge for a successful launch. Make sure you've got a solid plan ready for launch day!
