Hunter vs. No Hunter: Did a Big Name Actually Make a Difference?

I ve seen so much advice about partnering with well-known Hunters for your PH launch. But does it really move the needle? Anyone have real numbers or war stories? Also, how to find and approach them?

$5K on Ads or Just DM People? What Actually Works for PH Launches?

Hey PH community! In two weeks, I m launching my app, SUN, here on Product Hunt. It s been a journey, and I m now focused on how to get meaningful visibility and upvotes. I ve been digging into what others have done and came across these 5 common strategies:

  1. DM outreach on LinkedIn

  2. Joining Product Hunt-focused WhatsApp groups

  3. Engaging in Facebook groups for PH launches

  4. Running social media ads that link directly to the PH page

  5. Buying Product Hunt ads (starting at $5,000 )

Has anyone here tried any of these?

What worked? What felt like a waste of time or money?
