1/ You don't need a hunter on @ProductHunt
Hunters = someone who posts your product for you on Product Hunt.
The only benefit?
→ A hunter's followers get notified of your launch.
✨ Build your own following and skip this.
Which means... 👇

2/ You need friends. A lot of them.
A Product Hunt launch is a popularity contest.
Like running for presidency. 💪
You need friends to:
→ Create a PH account (if they don't have one)
→ Vote and comment
p/s: The signing-up process isn't straightforward. Give them notice.

3/ Use the teaser page
Set up a teaser page to:
→ Collect followers for your launch.
→ Auto-send an email notification when you are live. 🙌
Bonus:
Submit your link to pages like @d4m1n's hunted.space to additional visibility.
🚨HOWEVER, make sure you... 👇

@d4m1n 4/ Use the RIGHT Product Hunt link on launch day
My mistake:
❌Sending the WRONG product hunt link to my Twitter and email list.
✅ Use the right link. The correct link has "/posts/" in the URL rather than "/products/".
(Teaser page URL ≠ Upvote page URL)

5/ Give yourself time.
You need:
1️⃣ A pre-existing social following who'd support you
OR
2️⃣ Build your own product following for the launch
I was able to finish in the top 10 with just 48 hours of prep thanks to 1️⃣, which took me 6 months to build.
Takes time either way ⏰

6/ Make what people want
60% of the current Product Hunt launches have "AI" in the title.
Find out what people on the platform like. Lean into it.

7/ Get help
From the moment your launch goes live, you'd be:
→ Sending DMs (you will get throttled on Twitter)
→ Posting on ALL social platforms (PH, FB, Reddit etc)
→ Responding to comments and questions
Tag team with someone to take a break

8/ Thank the community.
Ultimately, you're relying on everyone around you to do something for you that day.
It's a day to feel thankful for having great friends, colleagues and community (the #indiehacker community is amazing).
Give back and pay it forward.
