@veeresh_devireddy I totally agree, I have one question though, what tool do u use for email marketing?

Answer

For a killer Product Hunt launch, tease early, rally your squad, and post at midnight PST. Engage like crazy, offer a special deal, and reach out to influencers. Keep it fun, authentic, and let the upvotes flow!

Answer

Simplicity is the key. Don't over complicate things 😀

@itrat_batool trying my super best to do that, Thanks Itrat. 😊

Answer

Building in public, social selling works the best. This kind of organic methods take time, hence one should start 3-4 months prior to actual launch (at least 2 months). Any other outreach strategy can then complement these efforts.

Definitely leverage your network to build hype! Reach out to friends, family, and any influencers or journalists you know to help spread the word. Pre-launch teasers on social media can also generate excitement. And don't underestimate the power of a kick-ass launch event!

Fedil John Relampagos · Answer

Build anticipation with teasers, leverage influencers for broader reach, and create a dedicated landing page for early access or pre-orders. Hosting a virtual or in-person event can further engage your audience, while targeted press outreach and blogger partnerships boost visibility.

Focus on building relationships with influencers, creating valuable content, and leveraging community engagement to create organic buzz before the launch.
