![]() The community discussions are a great place to connect with experienced makers who have launched many times before or meet new members who are planning to launch the same week as you. Imagine your ideal supporter on Product Hunt and become that for everyone else. Find friends and Makers (people who create products to launch on Product Hunt) to follow, upvote products every day, try your favourite ones, share your feedback, and participate in discussions. If you or your teammates are not on Product Hunt, a good start would be to sign up for an account and get active.

Launching on Product Hunt is a 24-hour battle – 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM – so, before I share our tips and best practices, I want to highlight the Belarusian band whose music helped keep me awake all night during the launch.

Secondly, I really like how the content on Product Hunt is shaped democratically by a product-oriented community. Firstly, if you’re into finding about cool new products and startups, then Product Hunt should be an almost mandatory part of your day.
