I learned so much! Product Hunt is a great community and its very important to be engaged. Also if you can, include a video from your founders. It helps others grab a sense of who you are and your commitment to the product.
It's very important to interact with people at PH before launch and do it realistically. This process needs constant monitoring and updating, although it may seem easy, it requires a lot of creativity and discipline.
Keep the conversations going! I love interacting with other founders, makers and more and learning about their values and new products. I feel like it helps strengthen the PH community as a whole, too.
I haven't launched any product of my own, yet.
But having helped 50+ brands and business launch over the years, I think the biggest (and often most underrated) factor is getting early feedback from your (paying) customers and build internal processes to facilitate the real-time information sharing and agility.
