Getting the #1 spot on Product Hunt is a challenging but rewarding goal for many product creators.
Here are some useful tips that can increase your chances of achieving the #1 product on Product Hunt:
Build an exceptional product
The foundation of any successful Product Hunt launch is having a truly exceptional product that solves a real problem or provides significant value to users. Invest time and resources into perfecting your product's design, functionality, and user experience.
Create a compelling launch strategy
Develop a well-crafted and engaging product launch plan. This includes crafting a compelling product description, preparing high-quality visuals and videos, and generating pre-launch buzz through your existing audience and networks.
Leverage your community
Mobilize your existing community of users, supporters, and influencers to help drive upvotes and engagement on your Product Hunt launch day. Encourage them to support, comment on, and share your product with their networks.
Time your launch strategically
Choose a launch day and time that maximizes your visibility and reduces competition. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are typically less crowded than Mondays and Fridays on Product Hunt.
Engage actively on launch day
Be present and responsive on Product Hunt throughout your launch day. Interact with users, answer questions, and address any concerns. This active engagement can help drive more upvotes and attention to your product.
Leverage influencers and media
Consider reaching out to influential individuals, bloggers, or media outlets that have a presence on Product Hunt. If they endorse or feature your product, it can significantly boost its visibility and credibility.
Incentivize upvotes
While it's important to avoid manipulative tactics, you can offer legitimate incentives or rewards to users for upvoting your product, such as exclusive features, discounts, or giveaways.
Continuously improve and iterate
Even if you achieve the #1 spot, don't rest on your laurels. Continuously gather feedback, make improvements, and keep your product fresh and engaging for the community.
Achieving the #1 spot on Product Hunt is highly competitive and often relies on a combination of factors, including product quality, launch strategy, community engagement, and a bit of luck. Focus on building an exceptional product, creating a well-executed launch plan, and actively participating in the Product Hunt community to increase your chances of reaching the #1 position.

Thanks for the tips! We launched today and despite being prepped, it's been a bit of a grind. I think it's important to get into the "Featured" section early on. Any support would be super appreciated!

Great tips, Ghulam!
From your experience, which specific day and time have you found to be the most effective for a Product Hunt launch?
Great advice, thank you! I already need that, for my Personal finance app
But I've noticed that launch strategies can vary significantly depending on the type of product. Is this true, or am I mistaken?
Our first product will be luanch at this Sunday. I feel a little nervous. Thank you for your wonderful sharing. I benefited a lot from it. https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Great tips. Also looking for a hunter that has a strong account (or building one yourself) is recommended. Makes you way more likely to get featured on launch day.
