Launch with the hunter or by myself?

by
I tried to find a hunter for our launch for 1 week and all potential hunters ignore my emails and requests. Unfortunately... 😔 So, I am thinking of launching it by myself as a hunter and maker. But I am afraid that in that case we don't have enough support at the start. What do you think?

In my opinion, it's more important to have a 1 month long preparation than having a hunter on your launch day. It's about building a community, getting to know people and their expectations. I recommend you to create a unique landing page for PH visitors and maybe you can give some offers to them. It will be quite helpful. I wish you luck!

@julia_demyanchuk We have launched our product 'Tixio Lite' which is a modish chrome extension to turn your regular browser tab into a beautiful & convenient start page. We tried so hard in the last couple of months to launch it. Do a quick check and don't forget to give your valuable feedback and some love. https://www.producthunt.com/post... Just let me know when you are planning to launch. I will be definitely there to support you.

Our team also plans to launch without hunters help in 1 month. The main thing here is to build a community step-by-step and ask for their feedback and support. It will gain more upvotes than the "name" of the hunter. Wish you good luck!

@maksym_astakhov Thank you! And good luck with the launch!

@maksym_astakhov Maksym, we have launched our product today https://www.producthunt.com/post... Thank you for your support!

By yourself. Before that make sure you have a few friends on social media with bigger audiences which you can DM to support the launch. Invest the time to make such connections instead of finding a hunter. It takes longer but will help you with more than this launch

@luciantartea Thank you for this advice! I will try!

@julia_demyanchuk Of course, supported. Wish you good luck with the launch Julia

A hunter is nice to have but they are not a must. You can launch on your own and have some good success. You can also relaunch after 6 months if you have some major updates. So I would advise you to not wait too long for launching. What is the product that you plan to launch?
Julia Doronina
@fabian_maume Okay, I see, thank you! We are planning to launch LeaksID 2.0 (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)

The hunter can extend the reach but it's not compulsory! You have a good number of followers! Go ahead! Soon you'll be the hunter people are looking for!
Julia Doronina
@mounir_nejjai Hahaha, thank you very much!!

@mounir_nejjai We finally decided to try by ourselves https://www.producthunt.com/post... We will appreciate your support!

@julia_demyanchuk Congratulations!! I will check it out!

Hey! Hunters are not that important. You have almost 400 followers, your network is more than enough to gain attention to the launch. Good luck!
Julia Doronina

@slowpokepeter I decided to launched by myself https://www.producthunt.com/post... I will appreciate your support!
