Congratulations, I'm glad to hear that. It's always nice to see a colleague in the profession have such success. Tell me more about the launch process, I'll be happy to know.

@italo_costa Thank you, Italo! We planned our launch assets two months ahead of time. We put a lot of effort into our videos and content. We made a concerted effort to make them stand out by producing everything in a way that reflects our brand and draws attention to the homepage. We reached out to a lot of product hunters as a team. We announced our launch via social media. We used a press release to announce the launch of our product. These are things to came to my mind, you can ask your questions if there are any. πŸ™Œ

@olearningcurve Curious too! BTW, cool product and notified! Mine is powered by openAI, and you are more than welcomed to leave your support:)

@flora_wu Nice! Your product sounds cool as well. I used OpenAI through Langchain to build my database. The product itself has two modes - one powered by OpenAI and the second one is not.

@olearningcurve Thank you, Luke! Actually, we had ongoing marketing efforts. We announced our launch with a press release and on all our social media platforms.

Well done! I'm curious: How did you spread out your outreach to get upvotes? Did you ask as many people as early as possible or did you ask smaller batches throughout the day?

@zmiro As a marketing team, we used a daily time-block strategy to reach out to people. We used to hold small team competitions and award a prize to the person who reached the most people, which increased team motivation.

@flora_wu Super nice of you, I followed Kyligence too! Looking forward to seeing your launch!
Flora WU
@zmiro Thanks Julien, likewise. Looking forward to your feedbacks after you try it out:)

Why sometimes products with significantly lower upvote/comment count overtake other products?

@alex_chepovoi I wanna know it as well.

@alex_chepovoi While I can't be 100% sure, I do know that upvote values have to do with the profile. In Product Hunt, the upvote value of an active account, the number of followers, the number of streaks, and an account with more points are different from the upvote value of a newly opened account.

@sophiko_jeiranashvili Teamwork and collaboration is essential for a great product hunt launch. Small competitions can be organized to engage and motivate your team.

We're looking to be #1 in October. Do share some tips.

@profy17 Try to find motivating and fun ways to involve your team as much as possible in preparing for the launch process, it is definitely teamwork. Preparing launch assets is also important. You should engage with the community to get the most out of it.
