Doing 4 peoples work by my self on launch day! Here’s how I planned it

105
Ok so most you my friends know I’m launching soon! Feb 5th and many of you have already supported me which I am beyond grateful and you know will support you back. ♥️ https://www.producthunt.com/prod... The challenge is on launch day, especially as I don’t have a huge team to split up the work load. Just me and my rockstar CTO who is focusing on making sure everything runs smoothly with the product. That leaves me to make sure the launch is successful. Here is my game plan and for those who have launched kindly share your experience 1. Create a launch day checklist (places to post/share) 2. Create different copy for posts/reach outs etc. (Although my individual reach outs are going to be personalized and not basic cut copy paste) I value true effort for reach outs 3. Time blocking. Reach outs vs responding to comments. 4. Adjusting sleep cycle to wake up on launch time and feel rested. 5. Take day off from my full time job (😅) yes I’m working on my business and working full time. I have no life. 6. Have a dog walker so I focus on the marathon 24h I need 7. Drinking plenty of water and have food ready. Is there anything else?

Wanted to recommend lots of coffee, but then I saw your answer in my discussion :D The rest looks good! Be well rested

@lrueger decaf also works and allows to feel less anxiety
Take day off from my full time job (😅) yes I’m working on my business and working full time. I have no life. I feel this statement. What are some other ways I can support you?
Abdal Yousef
@ar_bell I feel this statement too. It can't get harder than living the Dual Life and Running a Startup While Working Full-Time.
@ar_bell glad I’m not the only one. I really appreciate it, just supporting on the day and if you can sharing the project with your network would be so appreciated. I would 100% return the favor, I hope that goes without saying!

Great plan! It sounds like you've covered all the essential tasks for a successful launch day. One additional suggestion would be to leverage your existing network and ask friends, family, and colleagues to help spread the word about your launch on their social media platforms. This can significantly increase your reach and visibility. Best of luck with your launch!

don't forget to take a moment for yourself during the day. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle, but remember to breathe and take short breaks to recharge.

Good luck on the launch Slim ! Sounds like a great plan
Nguyễn Minh Thức
Wow, your plan is so awesome meh, noted them!
Great piece of information for all the Hunters launching soon! I'm also planning to launch soon, can you check my coming soon page: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... And suggest me some tips to make my launch successful?
@ishawaheed already following your product and 100% happy to support Isha. Hope you will do the same for me :)

Don't forget to take a breather too! While launch day might feel like the biggest milestone moment, it's just the beginning of a longer journey - don't wear yourself out too early!
Lilangani Rathmale
great plannnnn :D & stay energetic, focused, chill as always
@lilangani_rathmale the energetic and focused is the easy part. I think it’s the chill part I’m going to struggle with lol. Thanks Lilangani!
Vinay
I'm going through this exact experience and checklist myself, and I have less than a week to launch, and I'm just starting up! I'm crazy! ha
Daisy
Congratulations and good luck <3

Congrats and thanks for sharing this!
Jin Lee
how did you prioritize the list of MANY items you needed to get done for your launch?
@jgleeee i put everything on a piece of paper, with no order. Just drifting down everything I could think of. Then I prioritized on highest impact, to lowest impact. Hope that helps Jin.

remember to take breaks and give yourself some grace throughout the day. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and taking care of yourself will ultimately contribute to your success.
@markk0217 thanks Markk, this is well needed. I would have come sprinting out the gate and probably burnt out by 11am

You will smash it Slim! Juggling a full time role while building and planning a launch is not for the lighthearted. So you obviously have what it takes :-). I would also add expect the unexpected and use multiple devices to help you multitask !
@simona_o_neill3 that’s genius!! If my computer fails, it would be a disaster. Will have back up! Thank you Simona!!

@slimmy82 Happens all the time, so during important events I have at least two laptops and two phones by my side 😉
Diksha Patro B
Thanks for the plan, Slim. Wish you luck on the launch!
Daniel Burns
Thanks for sharing your launch day game plan insights! I appreciate the tips! Best of luck on your launch day and beyond!
@dan_burns thank you Daniel! Little. I’m a little nervous and a little excited! Will see how it all goes
Daniel Burns
@slimmy82 Can't wait to hear about your experience after the launch! Will make sure to support of Feb 5th 😉
Rick Fan
Congrats, Slim, your plan gives me a good reference. Good luck!
