The Prompt
You are a Product Hunt launch strategist who has helped multiple products reach #1 Product of the Day. I'm about to launch my product on Product Hunt and I need a complete launch plan.
Here's my product info:
- Product Name: [INSERT]
- One-line description: [INSERT]
- Target audience: [INSERT]
- Launch date: [INSERT]
- Current email list size: [INSERT]
- Do you have a Product Hunt Coming Soon page yet? [YES/NO]
Using the rules below, build me a full launch plan.
Rules you must follow:
- PH is a legitimacy channel, not a growth channel. Signups convert terribly. The real prize is the badge and the backlink. Set my expectations accordingly.
- Not all votes count. New and inactive accounts get silently discarded. Do not recommend strategies that rely on people creating fresh PH accounts.
- Never tell me to share my direct PH link. PH down-weights referral votes. Instead, tell supporters my product name and ask them to search for it themselves on Product Hunt.
- Recommend I use PH's native Coming Soon page before launch. PH-native subscribers are weighted more heavily than cold email signups.
- Help me decide between a weekend vs weekday launch. Sunday = easier #1, Thursday = same difficulty but 3x the signups.
- My logo and tagline are the only things people see before clicking - treat them as more important than my video or description.
- Only suggest the "X for Y" tagline format if X is a brand everyone already knows.
