Just in case you were wondering, what is ProductHunt?

Are you working on a new product, or planning a small side project?

If you want it to be seen by many tech enthusiasts, I think Product Hunt would be perfect. It's filled with product makers like you and people exploring new products. Introduce your product, gather first 1~1,000 users, and get valuable feedback.

We launched for the first time last year and learned a lot from various posts on how to launch on Product Hunt successfully. I'll provide detailed tips we gathered not only from those posts but also from our trial and error.

If you've decided to launch, follow the steps below.

Define the goals for launching on Product Hunt

Want to find initial users for your product?

You can find potential users who may be interested in your product based on the interests listed in their profiles or those who have left reviews for similar products. There are also add-on services like Upvote-bell that can help you introduce your product to potential users.

Are you collecting diverse feedback?

You can gather feedback by posting on the discussion forum before launching and by receiving reviews after launch. As you may know, there are numerous experts and early adopters in ProductHunt who are always open to sharing opinions. I also recommend using hashtags like #buildinpublic or #buildinginpublic on social media to share the product development process.

Do you want the "Product of the day" title?

Yes, receiving the Product of the day/week/month badge is a great honor. As far as I know, there is less competition on weekends than on weekdays, and the Product of the week is chosen from products launched from Monday to Sunday. Product of the month might be more advantageous if you launch at the beginning of the month.

After setting the goal of launching on Product Hunt, the next steps will be covered in the following post. Stay tuned for valuable insights!
