So there are freelancers that will generate upvotes (and thus featured position) for several hundred dollars. Given the affordability, I have been wondering how many products each day are just boosted by overseas accounts. I genuinely don’t know if the PH community that I remember from several year ago even exists anymore, or if it’s just effectively bots at this point.

So it's a pay-to-play that of game then, and here's me thinking building a community on the platform and generating organic growth was possible, but that not to surprising tbh.
Here are some tips from my side
- Create a teaser page on Product Hunt by scheduling the launch
- Build an audience before the launch by sharing the teaser page on social media, with your subscribers, and your maker friends.
- Reply to the comments on the launch day
- Be active in product hunt discussions
- Post a launch post on twitter, LinkedIn, Indie hackers, and PH discussions and also
- Post launch updates on social media
I interviewed 15 creators who ranked on top of product hunt and wrote a guide on how to launch on product hunt. You can check it out here: https://launchpedia.co/product-hunt-launch-guide/
Cool, thanks for the tips I will try them at least, and will check the guide.
Cool, all the best for the launch
