My favourite tips:
1. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others’ discussions).
2. Create your Coming Soon page as soon as possible. Share it on PH, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
3. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch.
4. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
5. Optimize your PH profile. Add social media links.
You asked me about my LinkedIn Inbound Playbook (How I reached 25K on LinkedIn with 0 outbound). Yes, I'll launch it on PH :) A link to receive a notification:

@gauravdoodles @rohanrecommends @olenabomko @neima I think *just* a hunter is less useful, although if the product get featured their followers get the web app notification- so its not totally useless.
Maker's followers get email notifications too.
I feel the hunter's experience and launch support/ strategies help a lot, which is what Rohan does for us!
Best case is to get a hunter who is knowledgeable and credible in the domain you are launching.

I think must have 3 ittems:
1. Be active on PH
2. Create Coming Soon
3. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
I would like to emphasize on the 5th point which is about optimizing your PH profile.
so many founders have searched great products but when I click on their profile I can not see any of the links that are relevant which includes website links, personal linkedin profile and personal Twitter account profile.
You can at least add those things for the sake of it to add credibility to your profile as a maker if you are a legit person

Interact with the community and don't hesitate to reach out on Linkedin/Twitter. Most people are very helpful and welcoming!

@shambhabi_raha I also think it starts with actually supporting their projects too! if you're continually asking for something before offering it can be off-putting for some makers in the community!

Definitely be active! Get involved with others and they will done the same in return!

The tips you provided are quite useful; another important tip is optimal timing for your launch, PH is most active on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, you will see the benefits of taking this into account.

Pre-launch prep and the first four hours seem to matter the most.
90% of the make-or-break moments for my launches happened there.
