How can we help with your Product Hunt launch?

Hi makers! Many of you are launching products, or getting ready to. I'd love to know what the hardest things about launching are, or hear what your concerns are. I'm here to answer any questions and share some honest advice. I've been on the community team since 2017 and have seen over 1,000 launches since then!

Hey! This is not related directly to launching a product, but, how we can make connections here on Product Hunt?
Abadesi
@paolopacchiana You can follow individuals you are interested with, start discussions... what exactly do you mean by 'connection'?

Hi @abadesi I believe we're ready to launch a major update for Karma, it has been more than 6 month since the last feature. When would be the best time to post? Shall I do that under my account or you could hunt it? Karma Rewards update I'm talking about:
Abadesi
@stas_kulesh The best time to hunt your product again is when there have been significant changes to a product. Is this a 2.0? We've just been talking about how makers should hunt their products ... I hunt products I'm excited about, find interesting and I've played with because I want to be authentic.

@abadesi It is a v2.0 kind of feature, we've been working on it since March.

@abadesi thanks for being willing to answer everyone's questions and provide feedback. We're getting ready to launch a product for the first time in the coming weeks and this thread is really helpful.
Abadesi
@robert_zalaudek happy to help!

Hi Abadesi, we have a mature product called Shuttercase. But I only got to know PH recently and registered just around one week ago. How could we build audience around this product in relatively short period of time prior to the launch?
Abadesi
@joethebest It would be hard to build a significant audience in a short period of time but start with thinking about your target audience and finding out where they spend time online, then reach them there with a compelling proposition/value adding knowledge.

Hi. I am trying to publish my launch but I can't. I'm trying to change the schedule hour to 2 AM PT, I updated, after save, there is schedule to 2 AM PT (in the edit panel), but when I return to the launch page, is unsaved. It's still show the last scheduled setup (11PM PT). Can you help me out?
Abadesi
@florin_muresan Hi Florin the best way to get support help is via the intercom chat bubble on the bottom right corner since someone from the team is available for live help every day. Did you resolve this issue?

It's somewhat disheartening to read that in order to be successful on PH one needs to already have a large social following. If one has that, what is the need then for PH?
Abadesi
@cdjasonrichard I don't know where it's been said that to be on successful on PH one needs to already have a large social following, I certainly didn't. Plenty of products that have been loved by the community have been launched by indie makers, high school kids, first time makers, you name it. What certainly helps is having a community around you - size is not as important as finding folks to whom your product is very relevant. Or just making something really awesome with useful applications/delight for all.

I need to know how to follow on this app.

The hardest thing for me is to write my story and my text to launch my service. I am willing to launch tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but I'm not getting there. Service is done and the website is finished but I just can't get my launch ready.
