My main tip would be to not overlook the phase right after your PH launch: - Where do you redirect your PH traffic and how would you like them to convert? Building a dedicated landing page is a great idea, with different conversion opportunities (could be a product sign-up and a newsletter sign-up for those that are not ready to buy yet). - How do you engage with all those new contacts? Think of a dedicated email sequence or special offer to build on the momentum

@paullouis_valat1 If you could hit ‘Notify Me’ on the 'Coming Soon' badge next to my name for InterWiz AI updates, that would be awesome. I’m excited to share our progress with you and can’t wait to hear your thoughts when we launch

@paullouis_valat1 This is gold! The landing page with multiple conversion options and an email sequence for nurturing new contacts are such smart strategies. We’re definitely going to implement this to keep things rolling after the launch.

Absolutely vital to build buzz before launch day! Get active on Twitter, share teasers/behind-the-scenes on TikTok, line up some podcast interviews, and leverage any existing audience or network you have. Treat the leadup like a mini pre-launch campaign to get people hyped for the big PH reveal. The pre-work makes a huge difference in the initial spike and trajectory.

Build anticipation before your launch. Engage with your target audience on social media and forums so people are already excited about your product.

Great suggestion, @talia_cooper! Activating the network early on can really make a difference. I'll make sure we have everyone ready to engage right at launch!
