Engaging with the community as much as I can

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. You can check this out: https://mindpal.space/workflow/p....
@ha_my_tran Thank you so much for sharing your experience Ha My Tran! The tips about pre-launch promotion and focusing on the name and tagline make total sense. I’ll definitely put more thought into how I communicate the value of my product. Really appreciate the advice!
Loved this question as I would be launching in few weeks and I the comments here were super helpful
@jamin_onuegbu Thanks!! Hope you find the insights from this discussion helpful for your upcoming launch! Best wishes, and let me know when you launch. :)
I'm launching soon and reading all of your comments were informative.
@vocabularyexpertapp Hello! I am also launching soon. Let's support each other. :)
@vocabularyexpertapp Perfect!!! :)

Thanks for starting this discussion! Seems like a lot of folks worked with influencers before their launch. Will take that into consideration for our launch as well.
@the_han_kim You're welcome! Happy to start this discussion so people can make the most of it and have a successful launch. :)
Actively engage in communities like here in product hunt and for us, LinkedIn. It's becoming so easy to mutualizing support as you connect to more PHers and launchers.
@angela_ni2 Thanks for sharing! That’s a great point. Engaging with the community really helps build support and makes a big difference. :)
Thanks for asking this question - I'm curious of the same!
@nickwatson I hope you got the answer! lol :)
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.
@travis_warne Thanks for the great tips Travis! Building anticipation and preparing everything thoroughly really makes a difference. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for my launch. Appreciate the advice!
@travis_warne The strategy of engaging with the community and prepping visuals is spot on. It's like setting the stage for a new Drake merch drop—gotta build that hype! 🎤
Have you thought about post-launch engagement to keep the momentum going? 🤔
