Before launching on Product Hunt, I researched successful launches, engaged with the community, and created an eye-catching product page with clear messaging. I prepared engaging visuals, scheduled a launch day push, and reached out to early supporters for upvotes and feedback. Like promoting a new line of https://drake-merch.shop/, it's about building anticipation, optimizing presentation, and rallying a supportive audience for maximum impact.

@leslie_conner Hello Leslie, I would love to know what strategies do you use to build that group of early supporters

I made 4 "top of the day" launches so far. These are 2 key things: - Pre-launch promotion matters. Do producthunt discussion. Promote in variety of groups and communities to inform them about your product. - Do not ignore Product name and tagline. These 2 things should clearly show the product's value proposition to draw the audience's attention to your product. My team built an internal AI workflow to streamline launch copywriting.

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

It was a lot of observation – scanning successful launches of other companies, scanning top-notched guys on the platform, and even things that were not totally related to the Product Hunt – psychology :)
