What to do before launching on PH? How do you increase your product reach?

Couple of tips on launching on PH.

In no particular order:

  1. If you have a mailing list - hit them up for an up-vote.

  2. Post about this on your personal network. Each additional vote adds up and if you're in the top 3-5 of that day, the additional boost via the PH mailer helps!

  3. Offer an incentive to the PH community (discount coupon, free trial, etc)

  4. Use free(mium) communities and groups to post about your launch

  5. Launch with fellow WIP.Chat members, IH folks, etc.

  6. Post in niche' groups on Slack and FB/LI in your domain

  7. [Not Recommended] - Include @rrhoover in your tweet and if he re-tweets you're sorted :P

Do you'll have any proven ones that you'd like to add to this?

      Haha thanks mate :)

  2. 2

    If you have a mailing list - hit them up for an up-vote.

    Is this against any rule? I honestly don't know but that would not fly in, say, reddit.

      I don't think so, have seen this happen on multiple occasions.

    @bentossell @rrhoover would love your inputs!

    What do you mean by "Not Recommended" from @rrhoover? Could it be worst than just being ignored?

      Unless you're innovative and you're not just tagging blatantly him for views.

      Provide value and most definitely but otherwise just imagine the horror every influencer goes through!
