The most important is to have a great product and clear messaging about how it helps. There are a few hacks to help you get more traction: - Build an audience before launch: https://www.tetriz.io/blog/build... - Ask a question on the day of the launch (it sends a notification to your followers) - Share relevant comments on Twitter. If you share comments from people with a lot of followers it can help you build momentum.

One less obvious tip Write a lot of good comments and questions on Product Hunt. Leave your contacts in a profile. People start connecting on LinkedIn, asking to support them or share feedback on PH. And you ask them to check share feedback on your launch. 😈

Being consistently active on social media and forming a network of supportive friends is crucial. Additionally, if you already have a group of early adopters for your product, you can encourage them to lend a hand.

When launching a product on Product Hunt, timing and preparation are key. Start by building a community before your launch to generate buzz. On launch day, aim to go live early in the morning (PST) to maximize visibility. Engage with your network immediately to boost initial upvotes and comments. Use high-quality visuals and consider offering exclusive deals to attract attention. For instance, if you're launching a service like movers and packers in Ajman showcasing the process with compelling images and offering special discounts can make your product stand out. Consistent engagement throughout the day will help maintain momentum and increase your chances of success.
