Etiquette of hunting?
Hi! I have been on PH for years here and there, but only now is it starting to click. I really want to contribute. So I found an amazing tool yesterday for developers that isn't on here, and it isn't mine. But I was so impressed I want to share it. What is the proper etiquette? Do I just post it to share? Or do I reach out to the owners and ask permission? I mean, what if they are planning a launch and I somehow spoil that? Thank you so much!
365 day streak and 2,742 followers. My best Product Hunt tips ⬇️
No hacks. Just hard work. 1. No tips will save you if you don't have a good product, clear website, and simple onboarding. 2. You can't ask for upvotes, mass message users, or DM strangers on messengers (WhatsUp, Telegram). The PH team removes fake upvotes, and you might get disqualified completely 3. Prepare all PH assets for your launch. 4. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others' discussions). 5. Create your Coming Soon page. Share it on PH, Twitter, LinkedIn. 6. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch. 7. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter. 8. Clean your launch day and the day after that. 9. Check your website, analytics, and the onboarding process. 10. Check your welcome email sequence. 11. Engage in real-time. 12. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day. 13. DM people on your launch day with a reminder. 14. Join relevant groups and chats. Support people there. 15. Track your progress with tools like Hunted space. 16. Prepare social media posts, announcements for communities, emails. 17. If you have a team, assign responsibilities. 18. If you have investors/current customers or work with influencers, send them a reminder before and on your launch day 19. Ask happy users and customers about reviews. 20. Analyze your results, share updates, and say Thank you. And be a good person :) Don't use this platform too transactional or spammy.
