How should I choose the product launch date?

Question

Is there a difference between Monday to Friday in terms of getting more attention? If it coincides with a holiday, is it better to release before or after the holiday?

@rick_fan Product Hunt offers increased visibility to products that receive the highest number of upvotes within a day/week/month. If your product tops upvotes, it may get featured in Product Hunt's email and social media posts, bringing substantial exposure to thousands of potential users and driving traffic to your product's website.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the maximum number of people sit on PH, there will be more coverage.

Luck can also help here; some products are launched completely randomly.

If you aim for the Product of the Week, choose Monday or Tuesday.

@ixord So, in terms of PH, the launch date doesn't have much impact? In other words, besides actively reaching out in the community, are there any other influencing factors to consider if I want more hunters to notice my product?

@luobaishun Why as soon as you can?

@slimmy82 Thank you, this is really useful for me

Luo Baishun · Answer

Personally I'd launch as soon as I can, regardless of the specific date.

However, if I had to choose one, I would prefer Tuesday and a non-holiday for best traffic.
