We are dopamine addicted (of course, cheap dopamine addicted). Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @cam_mcmaster1  Do you have a newsletter

... know this topic has been here a million times (and people will still ask me a few more times after that). I personally see advantages in both cases, but maybe one more advantage when it comes to launching during the week. Very briefly: Launching during the week  strongest days (Tue, Wed, Thurs) More people see your product (but higher competition) Higher traffic to your page if you are featured Launching during the weekend Sat, Sun Higher chance of getting ... ... rankings for 3 4 extra days is a huge advantage.

... Thank you! When are you going to launch? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @dougli  Hey Douglas, when it comes to the list of supporters, I will reach them out on LinkedIn as the main platform.

If your profile and contribution are significant, people will watch you. Personally, I would try to create marketing around that and then launch. Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic

... push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable. So here is my structure and list: Work goals: Edit min. 15 pre-recorded YouTube videos Remove inactive newsletter subscribers, which will be in the hundreds (this will be mentally difficult) Product launch on Product Hunt (this is a specific product, not a random product) Personal goals: Stay consistent in exercising Learn 4 languages (+ read lessons from textbooks I ordered), ideally ... ... organized by the French Embassy.

If you can, try to attend. And if there aren t any organize one. I m sure there are Product Hunt fans in your country you ve never even suspected. Read newsletters

... curious how people actually do it. There are tons of stories about founders launching SaaS products without an existing audience. No Twitter following, no newsletter, no community, nothing.

I am pretty sure that such stories would deserve blog or newsletter

... yourself visible after the launch is another crucial topic, because it can create a "buzz". These are activities that I believe would help highlight the previous launch and maintain its momentum: I usually spotted personalised DMs to supporters. Some people released PR (when the launch was successful) but they also tied it with next steps to announce something probably was a part of the strategy. Social media posts. Announcing in the newsletter
