    You need to build the hype prior to launch. That is crucial!

    @lorenzsell Talking about it here, on forums, social media. Reaching out to beta users or potential customers.

    Not having a preparation strategy
    I once launched a product without actively participating in the community. I missed valuable opportunities to build relationships and generate buzz. By not engaging with comments and feedback, the launch lacked the momentum and support that community involvement could have provided. For future launches, I ensure to interact with users, address their questions, and show appreciation for their support.

    Well, this discussion will be so very helpful to us as we are launching Soshals for the first time https://www.producthunt.com/products/soshals . We have been trying to juggle amongst all the pointers that you've mentioned but I personally feel launch plan covers all the other pointers. Having it in position internally within the team is very important and a non-negotiable.

    After launching my first product, I realized that build up connection with PH users is the first priority. It is very important to have a base upvote from start.

    Engaging with the community before and during the launch is important. Ignoring community interaction can hinder visibility and support.

    I see a lot of new makers not having a clear value proposition. It’s crucial to clearly explain what makes your product unique and why users should care.

    One common mistake is not engaging with the community. Interacting with users, responding to comments, and being active can make a big difference in your launch’s success.
