Good luck!! I can imagine how stressful. - Number of Upvotes, - Frequency and periodicity of the UV coming in and any time gaps - Comments and engagement - especially answered questions by makers and response from users on makers comments - Network of the makers - Quality of the product 1. Make sure app is live and working as promised 2. Highlight any known issues upfront 3. Source audience within and ask for feedback - look at top PH hunters and user feedback - https://www.producthunt.com/visi... 4. Simplified screenshots 5. Identify a well known hunter to help you get right level of traction 6. Setup all day demo sessions and invite people during the launch, before and after 7. Users actually playing with your feedback and providing review comments around the launch time is helpful 8. Be organic, don't hire upvotes, No use. 9. Focus on organic user community and feedback - ranking is secondary 10. Goal is to get your user count go 2x during the 24 hours window. Promote in relevant LinkedIn and twitter groups. Quora or similar forums 11. Offer discount or lifetime deal as promotional for PH users in exchange for feedback and comments to improve the product 12. Focus on feedback that are exhaustive. Not 5 or 6 words messages. You need to have feedback that has several words from your users highlighting the quality of the product and problem you solve. 13. Not all PH users are in the domain of the problem you specifically solve. Hence create user community, ensure they are active in PH few days before launch, have them provide genuine comments and feedback that will help the product. 14. Provide visibility into future roadmap Getting 100 new users and 10 solid product comment is more useful than being #1 of the day in my opinion. 15. Commentors... https://www.producthunt.com/@pra... https://www.producthunt.com/@ank... https://www.producthunt.com/@dir... https://www.producthunt.com/@kev... https://www.producthunt.com/@sfa... These are some notable commenters that I have seen very valuable to connect and invite for the demo / review

That’s perfect! Unfortunately I didn’t got the same amount of ppl on the waiting list for HireBrain(https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) , but I hope your launch will be successful!!!. Great to learn that’s a lot of people on the grind here :)

@janusz_mirowski Some other things you can try on Launch Day - 1. Running ads on Reddit on launch day. You will find a super relevant audience there willing to have a look at your product and provide feedback 2. Create a Listing of your Product on Dev.to 3. Talk to people on Twitter too who have recently launched products or reviewed them in the last 20-25 days.

One interesting we did....treat your launch day as opportunity for doing series of demos. It worked very well for us. We had demo pre, on and post day of the launch and got ton of feedback. We doubled our user base in 24 hours window. Like if you have to launch your product on CES or any other event, do you just wait for people to vote? or would you be spending time in talking to people, showing of your product, having them play with it and you watch.
