Pre-Launch Checklist
A comprehensive gate-check before opening your product to real users — infrastructure, content, analytics, support, and legal readiness.
Launch Day Execution
The hour-by-hour playbook for launch day — who does what, when to monitor, what triggers rollback, and how to communicate status.
Post-Launch Monitoring
The first 24-72 hours after launch — what to watch, what dashboards to build, and how to distinguish launch-spike noise from real regressions.
Soft Launch
Releasing to a limited audience (beta users, waitlist, single market) before the full public launch — to validate the product under real load without the public spotlight.
Hard Launch
The full public release — Product Hunt, press, social, email, and all channels simultaneously — after the soft launch has de-risked the product.
Product Hunt Preparation
Everything you build before submit day — the gallery, tagline, maker comment, demo asset, and hunter — so launch day is one-click execution.
Product Hunt Launch Checklist
The minute-by-minute checklist for PH launch day — submit, maker comment, first-hour engagement, mid-day push, and end-of-day follow-up.
Product Hunt Timing Strategy
Choosing the right day and time to launch on Product Hunt — weekday vs weekend, avoiding heavy hitters, and aligning with your audience's timezone.
Product Hunt Engagement Tactics
How to engage PH commenters and voters — substantive replies, feature-request capture, competitor positioning, and turning voters into advocates.
Product Hunt Follow-Up
The 1-7 days after PH launch — converting upvoters to users, capturing feedback, writing the launch retrospective, and leveraging the ranking for ongoing distribution.
Launch Blog Post
The canonical launch announcement post — the story, the problem, the solution, the features, and the call to action — that anchors all other distribution.
Distribution Channels
Mapping and sequencing the channels for launch distribution — Product Hunt, HN, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, dev.to, email, and press — so they compound rather than compete.
Guest Posting
Publishing on established publications (Dev.to, CSS-Tricks, Smashing Magazine) to reach their audience and build backlinks that compound your SEO beyond the launch spike.
Video Launch
Creating a launch video (demo, walkthrough, or story) for YouTube, social, and embed — video is the highest-engagement content format and converts 2-3x better than text.
Content Repurpose
Turning one launch blog post into 10+ pieces of derivative content — threads, videos, slides, social posts, newsletter — to maximize ROI and sustain distribution beyond launch day.
Pre-Launch SEO Audit
A comprehensive SEO check before launch — title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal links, sitemap, robots.txt — so new pages are crawlable and rankable from day 1.
Indexability Check
Verifying that search engines can actually crawl and index your new pages — robots.txt, meta robots, canonical, and sitemap inclusion all aligned.
Canonical Setup
Configuring canonical tags to tell search engines which URL is the authoritative version — preventing duplicate-content penalties when the same page is reachable via multiple URLs.
Hreflang Configuration
Setting up hreflang alternate language tags so Google serves the correct language version to each user — critical for multi-locale sites at launch.
Structured Data at Launch
Adding JSON-LD structured data (TechArticle, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, Organization) to new pages so Google can show rich results and AI search can parse your content.
i18n Launch Strategy
Planning the internationalization of your launch — which locales to support at launch, which to add post-launch, and how to structure URLs, hreflang, and content for each locale.
Regional Launch Timing
Timing the launch for each region — when to post on Product Hunt (US midnight), when to post on Juejin (China morning), when to email the Japanese waitlist — to maximize each region's spike.
Local Community Engagement
Engaging regional developer communities — Juejin and V2EX (China), Qiita and Zenn (Japan), OKKY (Korea), Habr (Russia) — in their native language and culture.
Locale-Specific Content
Creating content that is native to each locale, not just translated — referencing local tools, communities, examples, and pricing — so each locale's content resonates and converts.
Geo Launch Metrics
Tracking launch performance by region — signups, activation, retention, and revenue per locale — so you know which regions to double down on and which to deprioritize.
Launch Email
The launch announcement email to your waitlist and existing users — the highest-converting channel because the audience already opted in.
Press Outreach
Pitching your launch to tech journalists and publications — TechCrunch, InfoQ, The Verge — for a backlink and credibility that no other channel provides.
Social Announcement
Crafting the launch announcement for each social platform — Twitter thread, LinkedIn post, Reddit post, Mastodon toot — in the native format and tone of each.
Community Announcement
Announcing the launch in the developer communities you participate in — Discord, Slack, Discourse, Reddit — with the right etiquette for each.
Launch Retrospective
Writing the post-launch retrospective — what worked, what didn't, what to do differently next time — to capture lessons and share them with the team and the community.
