Before you start

  • Your Aha Studio accountThe Launch Submitter is part of your plan. Without a plan you can see the launch sites list and get one free tagline and description preview.
  • Your productA product people can try today, its website, and a sentence or two on what it does and who it is for.
  • Real facts onlyAny traction you mention (users, revenue, results) must be real. Left empty, the copy never mentions traction.
  • Your own accountsEach launch site needs your own account there. The worker never creates accounts for you.
  • Google Chrome (for the helper)The Chrome helper fills launch site forms in your own browser. It is optional: every text has a Copy button.

PART 04

Product Hunt launch day

Before the dayPick your launch day and schedule the launch on Product Hunt ahead of time: Pick the day you will launch. Schedule the launch on Product Hunt ahead of time. Check your kit: Check the name and the tagline. Check the description and the topics. Check the gallery images and the demo video. Check the maker comment. Try the product as a new visitor would: Open the first screen. Sign up. Look at the pricing page. Do it all again on a phone. Tell your own audience the date and where to find you: Tell your email list, your followers and your community the date. Say where to find you on the day. Ask for honest feedback.
On the dayPost your maker comment as soon as the launch is live: Say who you are. Say why you built it. Say what feedback you would like. Share the launch link with your own audience: Say what it is. Ask for feedback and questions, not votes. Keep the product working: Watch sign ups through the day. Watch for errors through the day.
Through the dayReply to every comment through the day: Read each new comment. Reply in your own words. Note the questions and bugs people raise: Write down each question and bug. Fix what you can the same day. Thank the people who tried it: Thank them. Follow up on the requests you can act on.
NeverNever ask for upvotes, buy votes, or join upvote groups or vote exchanges: Product Hunt can remove or demote a launch for it. Never ask people to make an account only to vote, and never use more than one account. Never post the same comment many times or reply with copied text.
PART 05

Honest by design

You post every launchThe worker never creates accounts, never presses Submit or Post, never solves a CAPTCHA and never votes. The helper fills a form in your browser; you check it and post it.
No invented claimsNo made-up numbers, users, customers, results, reviews, testimonials, awards or press. A number you did not give becomes [ADD], and a claim of traction you did not give is left out.
No vote askingEvery launch site forbids asking for upvotes, vote groups and bought votes. The plan asks for feedback, never for votes.
Unique copy per siteEach site gets its own wording, and copy that reads too close to another site's is written again.
Checked sites22 launch sites, each checked on the site itself with the date. Futurepedia is not listed: No public page to submit a tool was found (only a form to update a listed tool). Reddit r/SideProject is not listed: Its posting rules could not be read to confirm them.
