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. Check your kit: name, tagline, description, topics, gallery images, the demo video and the maker comment. Try the product as a new visitor would: the first screen, sign up, the pricing page, on a phone too. Tell your own audience (your email list, your followers, your community) the date and where to find you, and ask for honest feedback.
On the dayPost your maker comment as soon as the launch is live: who you are, why you built it, and what feedback you would like. Share the launch link with your own audience and say what it is. Ask for feedback and questions, not votes. Keep the product working: watch sign ups and errors through the day.
Through the dayReply to every comment through the day, in your own words. Note the questions and bugs people raise, and fix what you can the same day. Thank the people who tried it, and 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.
