10 non-trivial tips to win #1 Product of the Day
Hey, Product Hunt community đ
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 đ
1. Give away on Twitter before the launch.
âď¸ Make a free part of your product
âď¸ Send it in DM for comment
âď¸ Write these people on the launch day. If they enjoy the free part, they'll support you!
đŻ 100 comments -> 100 potential upvotes.
2. Prepare your Twitter profile.
âď¸ Twitter cover
âď¸ Bio
âď¸ Kitten glasses
đŻ The target is to increase the visibility of the Product Hunt launch.
3. Choose the launch date.
âď¸ Monday is great to launch a content product. We launched on Monday at 12:01 am PST.
âď¸ Tue, Wed, Thu - colossal competition.
âď¸ Fri, Sat, Sun - low traffic.
đŻ Choose the day according to your targets.
4. Use all distribution channels.
âď¸ Indie Hackers
âď¸ Reddit
âď¸ LinkedIn
âď¸ Facebook
âď¸ Polywork
âď¸ Slack
âď¸ Discord
âď¸ Hacker News
đŻ Post announcements, participate in discussions, and distribute across relative groups.
5. Prepare the distribution plan beforehand.
âď¸ Plan every time slot and distribution channel.
đŻ It'll help you stick to the plan and be calm.
6. Create hype around the launch.
âď¸ I wrote 45 tweets on the launch date. It's not the limit.
đŻ Everybody should know about the launch.
7. DM twitter friends (only friends đ
). Don't try to DM every Twitter user, that's insane.
âď¸ Write to people you've had a conversation with before.
đŻ 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.
âď¸ The number of comments adds visibility.
đŻ 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.
âď¸ See the traction, forecast, and speed.
đŻ Forecast is a sign to plan extra distribution if needed.
And watch out for suspicious growth... âŹď¸
10. Don't ever try to buy fake upvotes. Dynamics will show all the cheats and fake upvotes will be removed.
âď¸ Write to support if there's something suspicious.
đŻ 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!
