Launching on PH? Here are some quick launch tips
If you are launching on Product Hunt, there are a few things to ensure you have an effective launch day -
- Upload important information —
You must ensure that your product listing is updated with high quality screenshots, video, social media handles and a good tagline.
- Add maker comments —
This is really important. The maker must highlight the story behind why you built the product and how it will help it’s users. Request genuine feedback from the PH community members.
- Announce your launch -
Let your users know that you have launched on the PH community.
- Listen to feedback and improve -
The community members provide brilliant feedback to allow the makers to improve the product. We got amazing feedback from community members and we addressed them.
- Strengthen your support
On the day of launch, we got 2.5k unique website visitors and our Intercom was flooded with messages. We had sleepless nights in attending visitors and handling responses. We got very interesting feedback from our users and got to know a lot of things that we had to improve on.

I'm A PH n00b but I always thought it was better to get hunted that to hunt yourself, in which case, how do you control the screenshots that get posted? I might be totally wrong, maybe the algorithm doesn't care any more about followers. Curious as I'll be launching on this platform soon.
Also, if you're doing a soft launch for app stores is it better to launch on PH then or wait until you fully launch?
thanks!
