Most effective PH launch tips for newbies?

getting in touch with a hunter, being a consistent presence on PH itself, and building another presence on a social media platform to be able to cross-promote in the hopes of broadening an audience

Having an audience to reach out to, is definitely important when you're going for PH launch. I too was a newbie to PH, 6 months ago so I had a hunter hunt my product. It did go well :) But last week, after having built an audience, I launched a product I was working on by myself. And it ended up as #4 product of the day with great results in conversions.
