    - Launch as early as possible in the day. https://statsph.com/time-to-laun... - Set realistic expectations. Here's an article that talks about what you could expect from the PH launch, real stories from real founders. https://statsph.com/blogs/realis... - Even if your Product does not get much attention, don't worry about it. Just keep at it.

    I launched on PH for the first time today 🎉 www.producthunt.com/posts/decklinks My advice is to get the Product Hunt Launch Checklist by @falak_sher and a lot of sleep prior to the launch.

    Heya Mia! Suuuper curious about what you are cooking in your secret marketing labs haha There are some great guides out there that you might want to check out: @draptis wrote this piece: https://www.jimraptis.com/blog/t... @michael_sieb also wrote a very exhaustive guide: https://typestudio.co/blog/produ... Would consider both as must-reads - we oriented heavily on them for our launch! :) Lmk in case you ever need feedback on your launch collaterals.

    I read these articles ( here's a link: https://bit.ly/3qdLsjs ) before my launch and ended 4th product of the day (with zero online presence). My advice is to read them all. :)

    I've not launched yet, but as a Solo founder I collects insights from my fellow founders who have launched, and keeps marketing at the priority 1. - Although keep the priority 1 = Marketing before, on, and after launch - Prior to launch, engage with your target audience regularly, and try to realize them about the problem you have solved. (Best option to do so is Twitter). - Launch your product with few audience, need to relaunch it on many other platforms, may help you to enhance your visibility. Here you will have more opinions on this. https://www.indiehackers.com/pos...

    I've read a lot of articles but I think the most helpful source is this YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/... This guy has done a lot of launches and has huge experience.
