What is your best Product Hunt tip?

by
My favourite tips: 1. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others’ discussions). 2. Create your Coming Soon page as soon as possible. Share it on PH, Twitter, and LinkedIn. 3. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch. 4. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter. 5. Optimize your PH profile. Add social media links. You asked me about my LinkedIn Inbound Playbook (How I reached 25K on LinkedIn with 0 outbound). Yes, I'll launch it on PH :) A link to receive a notification: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Ask Rohan to hunt my product. It is enough 😅
Gaurav Kumar
@rohanrecommends @olenabomko Yeah the community and the people are awesome. Some people are also living their indie lives which is crazy 🙌

@gauravdoodles @rohanrecommends @olenabomko @ajinkya_bhat how useful is having a hunter in general?

@gauravdoodles @rohanrecommends @olenabomko @neima I think *just* a hunter is less useful, although if the product get featured their followers get the web app notification- so its not totally useless. Maker's followers get email notifications too. I feel the hunter's experience and launch support/ strategies help a lot, which is what Rohan does for us! Best case is to get a hunter who is knowledgeable and credible in the domain you are launching.

be active on PH and you wont regret it
Andreas Møller
@cloodoworkspace yes this was my biggest lesson as well

Hi Olena - great compilation! in point 2, when you say ‘create it asap’ - how well in advance would you say is the best practice?
Darya Krakaviak
@olenabomko that’s a great piece of feedback to receive for someone who’s developing our LinkedIn presence 😇 Right, makes sense re the audience size — thank you!!
Tanjir Rahman
Agreed with all of your point here Olena! Thanks for sharing these.
Interact with the community and don't hesitate to reach out on Linkedin/Twitter. Most people are very helpful and welcoming!
Daniel Zaitzow
Launching soon!
@shambhabi_raha I also think it starts with actually supporting their projects too! if you're continually asking for something before offering it can be off-putting for some makers in the community!
@dzaitzow absolutely! The community is amazing! But it's a two way street.
Relja Denic
Nice ones! I would add outreach. It's also good.
Relja Denic
@olenabomko Yes, on linkedin. Do it couple of weeks in advance so they create profiles that can be older then a week if somebody dosent have them
Neima Mogadas
@relja_denic this is to your existing network? or for linking with producthunters?
Toni
Thanks for those @olenabomko How would you "Optimize your PH Profile". What are other best practice on the matter (aside from adding social media links) ? 🙏🏻
Toni
@olenabomko Thanks for the details 🙏🏻
Derrick
It helps!

The tips you provided are quite useful; another important tip is optimal timing for your launch, PH is most active on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, you will see the benefits of taking this into account.
Neima Mogadas
@tunc_emran so, do should you aim to launch on those days? cause it seems like they'd be the most competitive
Kayode Odeleye
Great list mid day number 1 is most important and be authentic about it

My best Product Hunt tip is to be active on the platform before you launch your product.
Ajinkya Bhat | Notion X Startups
Pre-launch prep and the first four hours seem to matter the most. 90% of the make-or-break moments for my launches happened there.
Philipp Shay
These are good tips 💪

Surfing and upvoting every day even on weekends

1,2,4 is must 🙌

I would like to emphasize on the 5th point which is about optimizing your PH profile. so many founders have searched great products but when I click on their profile I can not see any of the links that are relevant which includes website links, personal linkedin profile and personal Twitter account profile. You can at least add those things for the sake of it to add credibility to your profile as a maker if you are a legit person
I think must have 3 ittems: 1. Be active on PH 2. Create Coming Soon 3. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
Engage with the Product Hunt community by responding to comments, providing insights into your product's development, and being genuinely interested in user feedback. Building relationships and a positive reputation on the platform can significantly boost your product's visibility and success.
