@fusillihannah That’s great! When’s your launch date?

Still preparing for it, but seems that the best way to succeed is to engage with community, engage with new products, share your honest opinions, build great product, and simply put a lot of work in preparation.
@viktor_surkov That's right! For a successful launch here, you need to be involved in community discussions and support other product launches.

@savian_boroanca wow - 2000 upvotes 👀 did you do any marketing on PH before launch?

@the_han_kim, we started the community on day one and launched after three months on PH. So we had some 500 people in our corner and they spread the word.

@savian_boroanca Awesome - thats amazing! Thanks for sharing - very helpful! Our launch is coming up in a week.
@savian_boroanca Wow, that’s amazing! 🎉 Congrats on the Golden Kitty. I’m looking forward to checking out your essay. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, I have launched on product hunt for the first time and here are some suggestions-
- Don't upvote your product with user signed up on your launch day itself
- engage with community before even launching, so that on launch day you get genuine ph users
I'm new here, I launched a product following the intuitive step by step. What preparation tips do you recommend?

Hi @rafael_biasiolo, I see you already launched your product. I supported it—congrats on the launch!
To answer your question that may help when you plan to relaunch this product (which you can do after 6 months of initial launch), I would suggest you engage with the community here, support their product launches, and build your audience. This will help you on your launch day. All the people who follow you here will get notified about your launch so they can support you on your launch day. You can share details about your launch here in discussions so community members will be able to know about it and can support your launch.
Timing is everything for me. I launched too early and missed some key features.
I understand. @wesley_vaughn, can you share more about your product? For your information, you can relaunch your product after 6 months of its initial launch here.
I underestimated the power of great visuals and branding. Also Feedback is gold for me! I learned so much from user comments.
@edwin_lambert, I’m also someone who prefers to understand a product by seeing its visuals and demo video rather than just reading about it. That’s a great takeaway, Edwin! :)
