    @missglendia Thanks for the advices. Should I announce it 1 month beforehand? or less thn that?

    Launching soon!
    @missglendia @aaronnotion I've often heard people say that one month is the ideal time for a launch (it's the time period I'm waiting, atleast). So yeah, go ahead and announce!

    @pabloroig_clous does this mean support anything just to get attention and follow? Or support what you like and give your honest opinion? :)

    @lana_dem No, quite the contrary, for me support doesnÂŽt mean necessarily to upvote, you can give feedback or take a look in others product.

    @pabloroig_clous I usually try 3-5 products a day, I use those products, give my feedbacks. It's been really helpful for me so far.

    For a Product Hunt launch, focus on building a community around your product beforehand, prepare thorough and engaging launch material, and actively engage with feedback during the launch day for the best impact.

    @chiara_sw Thanks. Does the launch day have greater impacts on success? I heard that I shouldn’t launch on weekdays.

    @chiara_sw what is the best way to build a community around the product before it launched?

    Initiate promotional efforts well in advance of the launch date. Construct an email database, actively participate in pertinent online communities, and generate content that effectively highlights the value of your product.

    Take the time to browse the products on Product Hunt and find the ones that interest you. Share your feedback or congratulate the creators.

    That's a very good question, and I'm asking myself the same thing :) I'm also brand new to Product Hunt and am trying to network with the community here. I wish you the best of luck with your launch.

    Product hunt : Step 1 - Find the day that u gonna launch ....... Monday/Tuesday lot of traffic but also lot of competition Friday&weeknd less competition but less traffic at the same time Step 2 - Find ur own hunter ....... ! = rare to find Have to book them in advance (1 month before) ....... Step 3 - Prepare ur hunter kit&launch Ideal time for launch on product hunt is TWO MONTHS = one month for preparation of the assets = one month warming up and building up the launch day ....... Step 4 - Engage with the community diff social media : best is linkedin ....... Step 5 - the day of the launch ....... 24h long day Be prepared Team&resources - be reactive to create engagement Message everybody u connected with ....... Step 6 - Post launch No stop ....... its from a part of my research, if anyone wants the rest of the info contact me on LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/loan...

    Welcome to the PH community, Aaron! Make sure to build some buzz before you launch—engage with the community, get feedback, and refine your pitch so that on launch day, you're not just introducing a product, but telling a compelling story.

    @cen_xu Thanks Vincent. People don't buy a product, they buy a solution. So telling a story is really important.
