10 non-trivial tips to win #1 Product of the Day
Hey, Product Hunt community π
During this summer we started an Indie Entrepreneurship journey with https://www.makerbox.club/
Since then, we got #1 Product of the Day for MakerBox Frameworks and #2 Product of the Day for MakerBox Tools. It's time to share 10 non-trivial tips, that helped us to win π
1. Give away on Twitter before the launch.
βοΈ Make a free part of your product
βοΈ Send it in DM for comment
βοΈ Write these people on the launch day. If they enjoy the free part, they'll support you!
π― 100 comments -> 100 potential upvotes.
2. Prepare your Twitter profile.
βοΈ Twitter cover
βοΈ Bio
βοΈ Kitten glasses
π― The target is to increase the visibility of the Product Hunt launch.
3. Choose the launch date.
βοΈ Monday is great to launch a content product. We launched on Monday at 12:01 am PST.
βοΈ Tue, Wed, Thu - colossal competition.
βοΈ Fri, Sat, Sun - low traffic.
π― Choose the day according to your targets.
4. Use all distribution channels.
βοΈ Indie Hackers
βοΈ Reddit
βοΈ LinkedIn
βοΈ Facebook
βοΈ Polywork
βοΈ Slack
βοΈ Discord
βοΈ Hacker News
π― Post announcements, participate in discussions, and distribute across relative groups.
5. Prepare the distribution plan beforehand.
βοΈ Plan every time slot and distribution channel.
π― It'll help you stick to the plan and be calm.
6. Create hype around the launch.
βοΈ I wrote 45 tweets on the launch date. It's not the limit.
π― Everybody should know about the launch.
7. DM twitter friends (only friends π
). Don't try to DM every Twitter user, that's insane.
βοΈ Write to people you've had a conversation with before.
π― They know about your product and will be happy to know the updates - especially the Product Hunt launch! More upvotes!
8. Engage in comments on Product Hunt.
βοΈ The number of comments adds visibility.
π― The target is to stand out from competitors. Also it's a pleasure to receive compliments and answer back!
9. Analyze the dynamics. ProductWars shows the statistics in real time.
βοΈ See the traction, forecast, and speed.
π― Forecast is a sign to plan extra distribution if needed.
And watch out for suspicious growth... β¬οΈ
10. Don't ever try to buy fake upvotes. Dynamics will show all the cheats and fake upvotes will be removed.
βοΈ Write to support if there's something suspicious.
π― Fair game should be a goal for everyone. But always control it.
That's it! Hope it'll help you to get your next #1 Product of the Day!
