What do you usually do after a launch? 🚀

In my opinion, there are at least two things you should focus on: 1. Make sure your product is ready for traffic - your infrastructure is capable to hold on. 2. Take extremely good care of your users - they are your most important resource after the launch. And one more thing, always work hard to improve your product. 🙂

One hard truth I learned as a solo nobody in the space is that launching is like hitting the switch to turn on the lights. But the lights won't turn on once you hit the switch. Even tho you spend months waiting to hit the f*in switch. So you keep hitting the switch over and over, investigate the wires, the lamp, hit the switch more .. the light starts to turn on a bit ... might fade away ... so you hit hit hit hit hit and fix fix fix and hit hit hit ... hoping that the light keeps getting brighter. And if you ever stop hitting and fixing it just turns off.

It depends on what was the goal of your launch. Did you focus on gathering leads? Then you follow-up with them. Focus on gathering feedback? You research on it. Marketing visibility? Stress-testing your infrastructure? ...

Engage every comment or questions, watch the onboarding flow for any breaks, take notes on user journey (for future improvement) and lastly get feedback. The launch is the day when you get high traffic, invest time to study user behaviour with your product.

@copybycarmen, I am with @ondrej_dobias1. It depends on the goals you had with the launch and what you were planning on doing depending on the outcome of the launch. On a high level, the first step is reviewing the results of the launch and how they compare to the targets you set beforehand. You then decide on next steps based on the launch results and the strategy you started with. Do you have a specific scenario in mind? Example: early stage pre pmf start-up, aiming to get qualitative feedback...

It feels like we will do big pool party!
