I failed my first launch on Product Hunt. My mistakes and tips to avoid them - PART I

I launched my product a couple of weeks ago and didn't get the results I wanted. Link for you to check - https://www.producthunt.com/prod... In my case, it's not the product itself. The problem is how I launched it. I did this with absolutely no preparation. This is the root of all evil Without preparation... I registered on this platform and filled out my profile a little. I waited a couple of days and launched the project. That's all... I didn't do anything else. ... And failed miserably My product took 33rd place and I received 84 visitors to the site How to avoid this? Although I did not get favorable results, I did gain experience. Invaluable and expensive experience. Here is a list of my tips that I currently follow myself: Set yourself a goal to take first place. This is of course banal, but it is mentally very important. You need to know that you are going to be the best Create a teaser of your product. PH provides an excellent opportunity to gain an audience and hype around your product Create a collection and save daily the products that ranked TOP 3 for the day. Later, before launching, study them, find their weaknesses and strengths. This will help you improve your Launch Page Support other products, write honest reviews for them, ask the right questions. Yes, this is also banal... But the system of this platform requires this, we must communicate with others. BUT please don't spam or use bots Participate in discussions. You yourself should partially talk about your product, create some kind of excitement so that the community remembers you and your product. And just the teaser will help them subscribe and not forget about the launch. Also, of course, you can read a lot of different interesting and useful stories there. Bring your entire team to the launch. All of you should promote your product on this platform together. Together you can quickly and efficiently gain fans who will appreciate your product Remember: our main goal is to take first place. After all, by doing this you can get 3k-10k visitors to the site. These are real stories of people who share their stories in the Discussion section I have more valuable advices. I left them for the second part. If this article is useful to you, I will definitely write a second one. So give me feedback, please By the way, I will soon launch my second product. Take a look, I'm sure you'll be interested. I'll be waiting for you on launch day - https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
