Short intro
Third day, this time I decided to focus my research on Product Hunt.
Next Monday I'll release iplan.to, a simple web app that allows you to track a habit for 30 days, without requiring an account.
Disclaimer: This is not a tutorial, I'm just journaling my progress and learnings.
What do I need to launch on Product Hunt?
I was reading a bunch of articles about it, and here is my ToDo list:
⬜ Write a tagline of the product: Avoid slogans, optimize for how users search.
⬜ Make a 240x240 GIF for the thumbnail
⬜ At least 2 screenshots (635x380px): Make sure they are "tweetable"
⬜ Write a 1–2 sentence description: short and to-the-point!
⬜ Prepare the first comment: Introduce yourself, the team, and the problem that you’re solving.
⬜ Find a hunter: Try to find someone whose posts are related to your product.
Some tips
📌 Post right around 12:01am PST to maximize visibility time
📌 Use Top 500 Makers to find a potential hunter
📌 Post on social media about the launch, make it personal and directly link your product page
Thank you
I look forward to see how it goes 🤞
Any feedback is appreciated!
