Name the 1 thing you prep the week BEFORE a Product Hunt launch.
Our pick: the list of people who'll show up in the first hour.
Coming Soon page, gallery, maker first comment - polish.
Who shows up is the launch.
What's yours?

Product Hunt is loud in the feed again.
ActVox is live today asking what task you'd hand an agent first. Fine question - but launch day still dies in the first hour if nobody is answering comments.
Gallery can wait. A maker first comment and a reply plan cannot.
What's on your first-hour checklist?

The most-viewed post in our scout yesterday wasn't a launch announcement.
It was a maker asking for help before one: Clipo's founder asked what to do in the first hour on Product Hunt. 52,604 views.
Asking before launch day beats announcing on it.
What's the one first-hour tip you'd give him?
We used to make you prove every pact with a screenshot.
Screenshot → crop → upload → wait.
Not anymore. Connect Product Hunt once, then it's one click: we ask Product Hunt if you showed up.
560+ founders have connected.
Launching soon? Drop your date + what you're building 👇
A year of building. Launch result: about +$25 and 200 downloads.
Same day, one image post sent 33,000 people to his site. (@jackfriks shared both.)
The build isn't the launch. The audience is.
Line up who shows up in your first hour before you pick a date. Who's on your list?
Most Product Hunt launches don’t fail on launch day.
They fail in the 2–3 weeks before — fuzzy positioning, undrafted first comment, nobody lined up.
Treat prep like part of the product, not a last-minute scramble.

'Most founders start about three weeks too late' is the whole post.
What a month out buys you on Product Hunt: a Coming Soon page collecting followers, a maker first comment written calm, and real users who know the exact hour to show up.
Launching to zero is hard mode.
Founders ask me how to launch all the time, so here's roughly how I think about it, from running launches for AI companies like Pika.
Start about a month out. Launches that feel spontaneous almost never are. You need time for the waitlist, the assets, the people who'll share it on day one, and the press.
Build the waitlist first. Launching to zero is sooooo much harder than launching to people who already raised their hand.
Make the video fun and fast. A polished explainer where the founder talks for 90 seconds usually loses to a fast cut that just shows the product doing something cool. The Pika launch video didn't have anyone talking in it at all, and some of the best launch videos I've seen cost almost nothing.
Pick your channels on purpose. X, Product Hunt and press all behave differently, and the founder's own account usually matters more than the company's.
If it doesn't pop, relaunch. A new version is a second shot at going viral, and most companies waste it by shipping it like a changelog.
None of this is rocket science. It just takes a lot more prep than people expect, and most founders start about three weeks too late.

Launch day. You get ONE:
50 upvotes from people who'll never open your product,
or 5 real users who comment what they actually use it for.
Which one are you taking?
