Ensure a successful Product Hunt launch.
Launching on Product Hunt can be an exciting and nerve-wracking experience. To ensure that your launch is a success, it's important to have a well-thought-out plan in place. Here is a checklist of things to do before, during, and after your launch:
📑 Preparation
Create a Product Hunt account: Before you can launch your product on Product Hunt, you need to create an account. Make sure your account is complete and that you have a profile picture and bio.
Research successful launches: Take some time to research successful launches on Product Hunt. This can give you an idea of what works and what doesn't.
Secure early upvotes: Reach out to your network and encourage them to upvote your product as soon as it goes live. The more upvotes you have early on, the more likely you are to get on the front page.
🗓️ Schedule your launch
Choose the right day and time: Pick a day and time that works for you, but also consider when your target audience is most active on the platform.
Create a launch plan: Write down the specific steps you will take before, during, and after your launch. This can help you stay organized and focused.
✨ Build hype
Tease your launch: Start building hype for your launch a few days in advance. Share sneak peeks or teasers on social media and other channels.
Reach out to influencers: Identify influencers in your industry who might be willing to help promote your launch. Reach out to them and ask if they would be willing to share your product with their audience.
Create a landing page: Create a landing page that explains what your product does and why it's valuable. Collect email addresses so you can follow up with people after the launch.
🚀 Launch day
Engage with the Product Hunt community: Be active on Product Hunt on your launch day. Respond to comments, thank people for upvoting your product, and engage with the community.
Promote your launch: Share your Product Hunt launch on social media, your website, and other channels.
Monitor your analytics: Keep an eye on your analytics throughout the day. This can help you identify what's working and what's not.
🐈 Follow-up
Thank everyone who supported you: After your launch, take the time to thank everyone who supported you. This includes people who upvoted your product, shared it on social media, or helped promote it.
Collect feedback: Use the feedback you receive to improve your product and your future launches.
Stay active on Product Hunt: Even after your launch, stay active on Product Hunt. Upvote and comment on other products, and continue to engage with the community.
Launching on Product Hunt takes time and effort, but with the right plan in place, it can be a great way to get your product in front of a large audience.
