If you could change one thing about your first Product Hunt launch, what would it be?

by•

Launching a product on Product Hunt can be a thrilling yet challenging experience. I'm curious—what changes would you make if you could go back and tweak your first Product Hunt launch? Was it your approach, your messaging, or maybe even your launch timing? Share your experiences and insights!

I would work with someone who had done a launch. There are things that only experienced people can tell you.

@byalexai so you suggest to consider having a hunter for the launch?
Alex AI
@bilalasif Not definitely a hunter. It could be a Product Hunt Launch ageny. Or someone who has launched several times. Or someone who is active on the platform. Or a hunter.

I haven't launched my app yet but would love to get some insider tips on what best to focus on pre-launch. I'm trying to engage with the community by posting on discussions like this more often.

@isaak_smart Same here Isaak, will be launching soon this month. Your support would mean a lot. In my experience, best way to a successful pre launch is creating buzz about your product and making people aware as of what your product is and what it can do. Also, engaging with the community is the biggest key here. The community really is great and supportive. All the best to you on your launch. Will support for sure.

I’d definitely spend more time refining our pitch. I realized too late that a clear, compelling pitch can make a huge difference in how your product is received.

I wish I had engaged more with the community on launch day. Answering comments and participating in discussions earlier could have created more interest and feedback.

I would have prioritized creating more high-quality visuals and demo content. First impressions matter, and having polished media could have made a big and nice impact.

When I launched PhotoPacks.ai it was in beta stage so my product never got featured and I lost the opportunity to show it to more people, If I could I would have changed this.

I'd treat the first release with even more care and ensure thorough preparation.

Looking back, I’d focus more on building anticipation before the launch. Engaging with potential users ahead of time could have made a big diffrence

I have prepared more engaging content for the launch day

Getting my team more engaged and active on the platform through clearly communicating the potential benefits

Same here! I'd definitely engage more with the PH community before launching next time. Building relationships and getting feedback early on can make a big difference in how well a launch goes. Plus the support and promotion from the community is super valuable.
