Launching on ProductHunt? Here's our insights! (2 of 2) 🚀
Now that you know why you should launch on Product Hunt, it's time to get to work! There are tons of makers and tech lovers on Product Hunt, and we'll show you how to better showcase your product and get to know ProductHunt members. Setting up your profile Some people miss out on opportunities because they have no contact info. Add links to your Twitter, LinkedIn, email, personal website, or any other contact information to your profile, along with a brief introduction of yourself. Points, Badges, and Streaks Badges depend on the number of points you have earned, with badges appearing next to your username starting at 101 points. Streaks also show rankings of who has been the most active on ProductHunt. Since these two factors display how engaged a user is, it's important to manage them. Respond to new product launches and engage with people As many people emphasize, this seems to be the best way to build influence and reputation in the community. Monitor the products that are being released daily and encourage each other! Also, since this community is made up of CEOs, developers, designers, and others in similar role, it's the optimal place to share your voice or concerns. Upload a teaser before the launch If you have an approximate release date, make a teaser! People who hit Notify me can receive a notification when the product is launched. From 7 days before the release date, your product may be visible in the Coming Soon tab. Find similar services on ProductHunt Browse or search the category your product is in (Nocode, Webapp, Productivity, etc.) to find similar products. You can get two things from this: you can see how people react to similar services and what questions they have, and you can see how other makers are presenting their products, which is really important! Now, talk to your teammates based on the time and resources you can commit. I'll continue to post tips and must-know's as our team prepares to launch again. Let us know what you think of this post in the comments below!
