Thank you! 7 days ago, we completed the day of our product launch and ended the day at #2. AMA!

It's been a great journey and after a full week since the launch of Vidiofy.ai, we've received over 15,000 visits to our website, over 1600 new users signing up and over 6000 new videos were created showcasing the demand for article to reel video generation using AI.
I want to thank the amazing community for giving us a chance, supporting our launch, and being extremely helpful with feedback, bug reports, new feature requests, reviews, and everything else in between.
Now that a week has passed, I want to pass along the learnings I had for the day and support everyone launching today and for the rest of the week. Ask me anything.

Hey Hariz! Congrats! So please share the secret of your success, maybe you have some insights to share which are not general (create great product + engage with the community)? 😉

@kate_ramakaieva yes absolutely. 1 thing that worked for me is to follow everyone who upvoted your product in hopes they follow you back. Since PH refreshes the new category in the discussions tab, you need as many people to follow to see your post before it shows up there. Your discussion gets started early and has a better chance to hit "popular" discussions.

Congrats Hariz! Can you share the key steps that helped you get more upvotes?

@sleegal Hi Gloria! The #1 thing that helped us of course was our personal networks. Everyone has to activate their own following and be shamelessly proud in sharing their launch and asking for upvotes and comments on the page. You have 4 hours from midnight PST to get as many votes as possible before it becomes live for everyone else to see. And you have to be in the top 5 at that 4 hour mark to show up on PH's home page without needing a load more button I believe. This is so so crucial. Only then would the community start seeing your product and then interact with it.
Also, have a clear target in mind. For us it was 500 upvotes. We saw that 500 puts you in the top 3 almost every single day in the last 14 days leading up to our launch. We aimed for it and we ended with around 750, 50% more than we expected but only because we knew 500 was our minimum to go for.

@hariz_maloy1 Yes! But not too much notify followers :( Do you have any tips? Thanks a lot!
Vidiofy
@daisy_do start discussions, ask for tips and feedback, reach out to other people that will be launching soon as well and exchange ideas. You can also already start sending out messages to your connections to stay notified, this helps because they then won't need to create a new account on PH the day of launch which isn't the most straightforward process.

Wow, what a stellar week for Vidiofy.ai! 🚀 15,000 website visits, 1600 new users, and 6000 new videos created—those stats are pure magic. Huge shoutout to the community for backing the launch and being a powerhouse of support, feedback, and vibes. Cheers to passing on the learnings and paving the way for others launching this week! 💪🌟
Congratulations, these stats are amazing! We are launching soon - what are some things you did to prep for the launch?

@priya_agarwal15 Hi Priya, you gotta have a gameplan for everyone in the company. Make it simple to copy and paste a whatsapp message they can send to friends, a post on social media, an email to ex colleagues or vendors they've worked with and encourage everyone to be proud in sharing their work to the world. This is at best, an opportunity you get only a handful of times in your lives so make it worth it.
@hariz_maloy1 Love this perspective! In the midst of the stress of the launch, it’s easy to forget that it is a rare and amazing opportunity and to treat it as such with pride :)
