I’m launching soon. Any advice?
Hi Hunters!
I’m doing my first real launch soon, i’m pretty new to startups world even if i’m working as a programmer for quite a while and i joined multiple startups along the way, being the founder of it is much much different.
As the title says, do you got any advices? Do’s and don’t?
Waiting for your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hi Alex, happy to hear you are launching. People have wrote extensively on what they did, do's and don't.
Have you build a following that will help you launch with momentum?
Are the screenshots and demo videos ready? Is tracking setup on your site?

@mubashirullahd I do have screenshots and tracking, but demo I don't

@mubashirullahd @alex_cloudstar I think a demo video is super helpful, as it shows people what they can expect from your product.

@alex_cloudstar Hey Alex, huge congrats on getting ready for your first launch, that’s a big milestone!
You’re absolutely right: being the founder is a totally different experience, and it can definitely feel overwhelming at first.
I’m also prepping for my own launch next week.
One thing I’m keeping in mind is to have a clear “ask” ready for your audience on launch day. Whether it’s upvotes, feedback, or shares, people usually want to support, but they often need direction. I’m planning to pin a short “how to support” comment right on my launch post to make it easy for folks to jump in.

Hi, I'm in the same boat and I'm a lot on youtube to learn a bit more about common strategies and pitfalls to avoid. So far, I found that the videos are really helpful and digestible. :)
