When should I launch on Product Hunt?
I've been working on eventOne for a while now (~3 years) and just recently got it to a point where it is low touch. My focus will be shifting primarily to sales soon.
I don't have much of a following. No email list besides existing customers and very few followers on Twitter. Should I launch on Product Hunt now or try to build an audience and then launch? How do I go about building an audience?
Build out a following and then launch. It'll be well worth the effort that you put in beforehand.
Hi Noah,
It's really hard to rock on PH without your audience.
I'd say you should have at least 200 users on PH, who know your product and are ready to support you
I will be candid unless you have a large audience you will struggle to get value out of a PH launch. This is due to the fact that your product doesn't really fit PH target audience.
What does well is design/tech/marketing products. If you was to ask your target audience if they had heard of PH they would most likely say no?
I would focus time on sales and partnerships.
I would describe Product Hunt as Gasoline for a fire. If you only have a flicker of a flame, then wait. If the coals are hot, let it rip. It will multiply your current velocity.
