What is the most correct and incorrect thing you have done when launching a product?

The biggest mistake I made was not reading launch strategies or researching Product Hunt rules, which caused me to miss my first launch and get no attention. I'll launch the ILLA's update again in March, and I hope to have some success this time around. Any must-do suggestions?

All the best, you should focus on community building. Create a coming soon page for your product and start participating in discussions and supporting other launches.

Sounds interesting @jerry_xbc , can you tell us more like what type of events? And is it open for us as well?
Jerry
@shubham_pratap We will organize an event where we'll ask our users to use ILLA Cloud to build some tools and share with the community. As a token of our appreciation, we'll be offering our attendees an invitation code, discount code, or some cool ILLA Cloud swag. Currently, this is the only concept I have in mind for the event.

Building a community or a network of people interested in your product prior to launch can be beneficial for a successful launch here. Having a strong community can lead to more upvotes and comments on your product, which can help increase its visibility on the list
