Hey everyone! 👋🏾 👋🏾 👋🏾 We are in the midst of launching our product on Product Hunt and while I have done it successfully in the past, I’m a bit rusty so seeking words of wisdom from the ever so smart Superpath community. • Please share your advice on do’s and don’ts ahead of the launch • Any hacks to know (for example I wasn’t aware that we can now Advertise on PH 🙄) Also is there someone in the community who would be keen on getting us hunted? I can sure add a deal to sweeten things up 🦜 We are a legal software for small businesses—big and small, to give some context. Thanks in advance 🙏

Hey @ambitious-xylophone-36374, not sure if this is helpful, but I saw it in the #gen-promotion channel: https://content-career-growth.slack.com/archives/C012AUSC85C/p1660022383375839

Hi Taru we recently had a successful launch on Product Hunt https://www.producthunt.com/products/plural-2#plural-2 - We were the #2 product of the day. Some quick do's: • Promote it on Social Media, Your Company Newsletter, Investors Network, etc., While you can't specifically ask for upvotes, you can ask for people to check out your product. Word of advice here (make sure you bring users to the home product hunt home page and not your direct link in product hunt (helps the algorithm) • If you have coworkers that are going to upvote it (well they should be upvoting it) ensure they create their accounts well in advance of your launch and are active on Product Hunt. It helps build up their account as we heard that Product Hunt is frown upon new accounts upvoting products. • Have graphics pre-made (this will help tremendously and you can use it on social media, newsletters, etc.,) • One thing that might provide an extra boost and continue to boost your metrics would be to be layer maker comments. The way this works is that you respond positively to users that have commented on your post from multiple of your teams' profiles. This increases engagement on your post and shows that your team members are active in the conversation. If they can provide additional perspectives (for instance if a community member has asked a question) that would be helpful. If not, as mentioned above, a simple "Thanks for the support" from one of your additional team members will do. • We also made a custom landing page to bring our users to that welcomed them from Product Hunt (it was just a copy of our home page but customized for them to make it look more personal) Some quick don'ts: • Wait till the last minute to get everything ready. It will not end well and no one will be prepared • Link out directly to your product (penalizes you for this) • Specifically ask users for upvotes • Create accounts the day of to try to hack the system Happy to talk about my experience in more detail with you if needed. I learned a lot from one hunt and want to pass it along!

Amazing tips @boundless-waiter-50718 and thanks for sharing the resource! Can't wait to dive into it.

Definitely a big yes on interacting with people who leave comments. In terms of visuals, be consistent and showcase the problem you're solving. Don't shy away from talking more in-depth about the product in your maker comment. I haven't been a hunter before, only a maker. But if you need any help, let me know. :)
