Learnings from being PH Product of the Day
Sharing learnings and tools one month after the launch of our latest bootstrapped SaaS.
I didn’t write in September because I was very busy, so here’s a recap, tips & milestones.
🧑💻 Before launching
Pre-launch is important. I recommend that you to visit PH often before you launch. So you can see the best time to launch, the possibilities of your category, users, upvotes, etc.
Be part of the community, follow people, and not only in PH. Engage, comment on the forum and the product launch posts, is the better to be familiar and to start being familiar.
The Coming Soon section is key to paving the way. If you create your teaser page before launch, users will check out the page. If they like the description, they can click the “Notify me” button and become followers of your product. They will get a notification on the day of launch to upvote. This can give you a little more push from the start. And playing with the scheduled launch date can also help.
Not only do I create the teaser page. But I shared it privately with every user I talked to before to validate the product. Ensuring a minimal user base until the expected day.
