While a Hunter can provide valuable visibility and credibility, the success of a Product Hunt launch ultimately depends on the quality of the product and the engagement of the community. Focus on creating a compelling product and fostering genuine interactions to maximize your launch potential.

Thanks for sharing, Istiak! A proactive hunter can definitely boost your Product Hunt launch by increasing visibility, credibility, and reach. Their experience and network can make a big difference. However, success also depends on a solid launch plan and active support on launch day.
Your checklist is a great guide for anyone preparing for a launch. Appreciate the insights!

Thank You for sharing this, i hope it proves helpful in my upcoming launch.
Navigating Product Hunt without a hunter is like trying to find a needle in a haystack blindfolded! Trust the process and your proactive hunter for a successful launch journey. 🎯🚀

I think #1 thing is to be genuine - so if someone manages to find a hunter who is actually really interested in their product and excited for the world to hear about it, then absolutely.
I don't, however, support those who sell their services and 'overpromise' on what can be done.
Launching without a structure or a Proactive Hunter is a recipe for disaster!
If you don't get a good no. of upvotes, you will not feature in the top 5 after the first 4 hrs.
If you are not in the Top 5, you will get extremely less visitors which kills the whole purpose of launching in the first place.
You need to prepare at least 1 month before the launch and already have a good fanbase(either by yourself or through Hunter).
Ideally, you should already have some traction and a few customers who back you.
To get initial traction and potential customers, I provide a service of promoting startups in 400+ places through getfirstusers.com
We believe having a hunter is essential for a successful Product Hunt launch. Launching a new product as a startup is definitely challenging. The exposure and credibility that a hunter can bring are invaluable.
We’re preparing for our own launch and it would be fantastic to have support from a hunter to help us reach a wider audience. Any advice or assistance from experienced hunters would be greatly appreciated!😁
Thanks for the detailed Answer.
What a useful tips! Thank you. 😊
This is very interesting and very new for me. I am the first time in product hunt and plan to launch my mvp in a few months. How do I find good hunters? How to approach them? Where are they? What are costs I should expect?
All that would be really interesting for me.
I come from e-commerce where you would usually create a few hundred social media post, observe what sticks and then boost it.
Any help/hints are appreciated
