Before the launch:
1. We started our Typedream journey in public #buildinpublic. We tweeted about what we wanted to achieve, our struggles, small wins - our entire journey.
2. We made community (almost like a cult 😈) of Typedream simps in which people had to "simp" for us to get access to our beta. We were also active on Twitter. Made a lot of friends with similar interests, especially in the #NoCode community ❤️
3. We iterated our product based on our beta testers' feedback and found 10+ people who LOVED our product and validated the idea.
Launch: We realized we only get to do this once so we went ALL OUT.
2. Our Twitter friends helped perfect our tagline, built the hype, everything - @rauchg, @reallynattu, @fajarsiddiqFS, @felix12777, @dadimdum and many more. You know who you are!
Also followed this PH launch tips:
My top 3 favorites: ⬇️
1. Find a hunter
- You leverage the hunter's audience
- You have more chances to be featured
- You engage with a person who's an expert on PH
Once again, big thanks to @chrismessina for hunting!
2. But when is the best day to launch your product?
Here is the typical traffic for a Product Hunt week:
- Monday → Medium
- Tuesday → High
- Wednesday → High
- Thursday → High
- Friday → Medium
- Saturday → Low
- Sunday → Low
We launched on a Wednesday.
3. During your launch day, you need to be 1000% active and engage with your fans and the community.
It's a crazy day and you might need to say "thank you" in 100+ different ways.
Your presence is as important as your product. People love to know who is behind a product.
