Short instruction on how to become #1 on Product Hunt
Within 3-4 weeks:
- Ask your entire network (friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, parents - everyone) to register on Product Hunt (aim for 400 people).
- Open LinkedIn groups with the name "Product Hunt something" and connect with EVERYONE there (aim for 2000 people).
On the launch day:
- At 00:01 PST, start checking if any major players like Notion, Miro, or others have launched.
- At 00:10, launch your product (pre-scheduled).
- Start reaching out to your entire network asking for support.
- Reach out to everyone who accepted your LinkedIn friend requests.
That's it
That's how our Letterly and all the other products won.
Comments:
- It's better to plan ahead and decide who will reach out to whom on LinkedIn. It's better if you have 10 people with LinkedIn.
- Communities, hunters... everything else is not important.
- It's legal and doesn't violate Product Hunt rules. You're not asking for votes, people support you if they like your product (sometimes they refuse). Don't pay or offer anything, and everything will be fine.
