My favourite tips:
1. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others’ discussions).
2. Create your Coming Soon page as soon as possible. Share it on PH, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
3. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch.
4. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter.
5. Optimize your PH profile. Add social media links.
You asked me about my LinkedIn Inbound Playbook (How I reached 25K on LinkedIn with 0 outbound). Yes, I'll launch it on PH :) A link to receive a notification:

Agreed with all of your point here Olena! Thanks for sharing these.
Hi Olena - great compilation! in point 2, when you say ‘create it asap’ - how well in advance would you say is the best practice?
@dkrakaviak I know your company from LinkedIn :)
Depends on your goals and how big your audience is. Companies with a big audience need less time.
@olenabomko that’s a great piece of feedback to receive for someone who’s developing our LinkedIn presence 😇
Right, makes sense re the audience size — thank you!!
Ask Rohan to hunt my product. It is enough 😅
@gauravdoodles @rohanrecommends is amazing! He created a very supportive community 😍
@rohanrecommends @olenabomko Yeah the community and the people are awesome. Some people are also living their indie lives which is crazy 🙌
Launching soon!
@gauravdoodles @rohanrecommends @olenabomko @neima I think *just* a hunter is less useful, although if the product get featured their followers get the web app notification- so its not totally useless.
Maker's followers get email notifications too.
I feel the hunter's experience and launch support/ strategies help a lot, which is what Rohan does for us!
Best case is to get a hunter who is knowledgeable and credible in the domain you are launching.
It helps!
Agreed, following these steps, gradually reaping rewards. Who said the famous quote: Mastery requires too much discipline. and these are discipline.
The tips you provided are quite useful; another important tip is optimal timing for your launch, PH is most active on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, you will see the benefits of taking this into account.
Launching soon!
@tunc_emran so, do should you aim to launch on those days? cause it seems like they'd be the most competitive
Nice ones! I would add outreach. It's also good.
@relja_denic Do you mean send direct messages?
@olenabomko Yes, on linkedin. Do it couple of weeks in advance so they create profiles that can be older then a week if somebody dosent have them
Launching soon!
@relja_denic this is to your existing network? or for linking with producthunters?
These are good tips 💪
Surfing and upvoting every day even on weekends
Great list mid day number 1 is most important and be authentic about it
My best Product Hunt tip is to be active on the platform before you launch your product.
