... Warm up your audience and make sure they re ready to support you. Reach out to founders of similar products (or those in your industry) and honestly ask for feedback, either through reviews or comments. P.S. Having an active Hunter also helps.

... people really help! Being active on the forum and supporting other launches helped me meet many people who shared launch strategies. And everyone repeated the same thing: you must be present on Product Hunt daily. How We Found Our Hunter Sounds like How I Met Your Mother , right?

It s still in the testing phase, but I m curious Has anyone here ...

... Building FindForce a Chrome extension that stops sales reps from wasting 15 hours/week on email guesswork Hey PH! I've been watching our sales team manually verify emails from LinkedIn for months. Copy profile. Open Hunter. Paste. Wait. Copy email. Open NeverBounce. Paste. Wait. Repeat 80x/day.

No credits, no overages, no "contact us for pricing ... ... Sales teams told us they hit limits mid-month with other tools and just... stop prospecting. That's insane.

... That s true! However, my impression is that platforms will evolve toward having only Makers publish their products just a guess based on trends I ve been noticing :) Comment from Chris Messina(@chrismessina): It would add infinity friction for hunters such as myself.
