Tips
- Ask for feedback and questions, not upvotes. Product Hunt's guidelines discourage vote solicitation, and specific requests get better responses anyway.
- Post your first announcement shortly after your launch goes live, which happens at 12:01 a.m. Pacific time, then a reminder post later in the day for other time zones.
- Reuse the tagline from your Product Hunt page in the social post so the two match when people click through.
- Write the next-day recap before launch with blanks for the numbers, so you only fill in figures when you are tired.
Frequently asked questions
Should I ask followers to upvote my Product Hunt launch?
No. Ask them to check it out and share feedback. Direct upvote requests go against Product Hunt's guidance and tend to attract low-quality engagement.
Can I schedule Product Hunt launch posts in advance?
Yes. Draft them the week before, schedule them for the launch time on each network, and keep them in an approval queue so you can adjust the link or wording on the day.
