Pro tip - send an email to your beta testers about the PH launch & ask them for support/feedback.
Launching soon!
My best Product Hunt tip is to focus on creating a great product that solves a real problem for users.
Product Hunt is a competitive platform, and the products that are most successful are those that offer real value to users. By focusing on creating a high-quality product that people are willing to pay for, you can increase your chances of success on Product Hunt.
Here are some of my notes for Vzy launch

Launch to gather feedback and become better. Don’t chase vanity metrics like the top spot of the feed.
Requestly
Just help people and upvote all the products you love. Keep helping, and the community will do magic when you least expect it.
Tip #1 Have a creative approach
Tip #2 Have a community of supporters (previously)
Tip #3 Analyze other launches as well as their wins & mistakes
Make a strong connection with the community :)
Enjoy the ride!
Obviously not everyone can be #1 of the day or have a super successful launch, and that's ok.
Focus on connecting with the community, meeting other makers and receiving feedback from your launch!

@nicolaas_spijker Thanks for the reply. I am launching my first product today and taking your advice to enjoy the ride.
Beautiful 100+ AI generated Images
@nicolaas_spijker Yeah, completely agree with these points.
Networking and community feedback is more important than the ranking and upvotes
@nicolaas_spijker This is a great advice! I've been stressing up about my launch but you're reminded me that it's a process and that it wont be defined by any single event. Thanks!

Great discussion, also looking for tips from the community.
Launch with a hunter!
Have your community and users support you.
@parekh_tanmay but Product Hunt says that it isn't help right now. It's a myth.
Previously, when hunters launch a new product – their followers will receive notifications about it. But it isn't work right now.
@new_user_33896c12e1959 Thanks for letting me know.
We recently launched through an Hunter and got a good response but it may be due to the fact of our users and community members helping out too.
You can check the launch via https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Do consider upvote :)
However, it's possible that our users and community members also had a key role in its success. We recently launched through a Hunter and received excellent comments[url=https://bestweedandfeed.com/how-...]

@parekh_tanmay @new_user_33896c12e1959 But, you will get benefitted from having a hunter is the hunter has a following on other platforms and he/she is willing to promote your product on those platforms.
Sessions
Be kind.
I guess a good tip is to create an upcoming page.
We've used split-screen mode in our upcoming (better than chat mode IMHO), short description, product video, and special offer for PH users.
Also, it's good for your design tests before the main launch.

Looking through the comments and have found brilliant tips all through, thanks Amna.
If you see this comment, consider following us on Product Hunt, we launch in 7 days.

For context, Revaise is helping with peer reviews and making sure that they are done right.
My learnings:
1. Visit product hunt daily.(Even if its just 5 minutes)
2. Talk to other builders
3. Give feedbacks and received feedbacks
