![]() Wednesday or Thursday might be the day for you then. If your goal is to make #1 product of the day, you might not want to go for Monday or Tuesday because they are usually the most competitive. It all depends on the main goal for your launch. When it comes to choosing a day things get a bit more tricky. You want to make sure to post as early as possible to get as much exposure on the leaderboard as possible – 12:01 PST would be ideal. Product Hunt refreshes its page at 12 PST every day. Once you’ve found someone, reach out to them via twitter and pitch your idea. It’s always best to go with a hunter who knows the space you’re in and has hunted similar products before. To judge the quality of these people and learn more about them, I would suggest looking at their previous hunts. In order to nail the final bits after having followed all the Product Hunt guidelines, we really recommend getting in touch with a hunter.īut how do you decide on a hunter? You want to make sure that you find someone with a good following of peers especially on Product Hunt itself and on Twitter. He provided us with valuable insights and advice not only on our Product Hunt assets and content, but also on our website and gave us feedback on Gleap in general. Other than that, Chris is very inspirational and in our humble opinion one of the best product therapists, as he calls himself, you can get out there. ![]() Chris is one of the top hunters and casually invented the #Hashtag. We worked with Chris Messina on our launch. Most of all though, experienced hunters also have a lot of advice to give. Obviously, having a couple of thousand people know that your product is now live on Product Hunt, can give you a great advantage to begin with. Every follower will get an on-site or email notification letting them know that a new product was submitted. Firstly, successful hunters on the platform have a lot of followers meaning they can kick-start your campaign. However, from our experience we would strongly advise you to get a hunter for a couple of reasons. According to Product Hunt, who hunts the product makes no difference in terms of ranking. Of course, everyone on Product Hunt can submit their own listing so you do not necessarily need a hunter. Note: We found the information on both the textual and visual content extremely useful. As soon as you tick most of the boxes mentioned in the post, you know you’re good to go. In this post they also address common misconceptions about the platform. Then two days before the big day we sent out another email letting all our users know that we’ll be launching in two days.įinally, a super useful source while preparing for your launch is Product Hunt’s very own checklist for launch day. We sent emails to all our users ten days before our launch to introduce them to Product Hunt and let them know that the platform is important to us. To make the most of your launch and get extra traction on the day, let your community or existing users know. Therefore, what we did is tell everyone at the company to start getting active on Product Hunt and familiarize themselves with the platform a couple of weeks ahead. Also, it’s super helpful to know a lot of people and especially influential people on the platform to get enough traction on launch day. So the bad news is the space is very competitive, which means that you really need to do your homework to do great when the big day comes. On average, 30 – 40 products launch on Product Hunt every day. ![]() We want to give it another twist and share some of our key insights we generated from launching on the platform and working with one of the top hunters. Now there are a dozen blog posts out there offering to-do lists for your launch. It probably won’t make you successful overnight, but the platform is key for getting the word out. ![]() When you’re launching a new SaaS product to the market, Product Hunt can be extremely helpful for getting early users, brand awareness and SEO. ![]()
