Product Hunt Launch Checklist

39 checks across 6 categories. Everything from maker profile prep weeks out to the follow-up work after launch day, so you go into it ready instead of scrambling at midnight PST.

Your progress0/390%

Profile & Community

Build real history before you need any favors.

0/5
Complete your maker profile (photo, bio, links)

Must be done before any outreach. An empty or brand-new-looking profile reads as spam to other hunters.

Follow 10+ relevant PH hunters and makers

Focus on hunters active in your category, SEO, marketing, and SaaS tend to have the most engaged followings.

Upvote and comment genuinely on 5+ products a day

Do this for at least 2 weeks before launch. Builds reputation before you need favors, and PH's algorithm notices real activity.

Identify and DM 3-5 makers who'd genuinely like your product

Not a mass blast, real context on why it's relevant to them specifically.

Line up a hunter if you're not hunting it yourself

A well-followed hunter isn't required to rank, but can add early credibility and reach.

Listing Assets

What people actually see when they land on the page.

0/9
Draft 3 tagline options

Under 60 characters, outcome-first, no jargon. Test them on teammates who've never seen the product.

Write the product description (problem to solution to result)

The first 2 sentences are above the fold, they carry the most weight. Nail those before anything else.

Design the Product Hunt thumbnail (240x240px)

Bold, minimal, no text overload. It has to read clearly at thumbnail size in a crowded feed.

Design 4-5 gallery screenshots

Tell a visual story: problem to value. Screenshot 1 must show the core insight instantly, don't lead with a generic dashboard.

Record a 60-90 second demo video

Optional but high-impact. Loom-quality is fine, clear narration beats fancy production every time.

Write the maker's first comment

Post this the INSTANT you go live at midnight PST. Sets the tone for the whole thread and is usually the top comment if it's good.

Pick launch tags/categories carefully

2-3 relevant categories. Wrong or overly broad tags dilute your relevance to the audience most likely to upvote.

Final review of all listing copy, images, and video

Get feedback from 2-3 people outside your circle who'll catch things you're too close to see.

Submit listing to PH (can schedule in advance)

Double-check all URLs, media quality, and tag selection before submitting or scheduling.

Technical Prep

Make sure the site and links hold up under launch traffic.

0/6
Set up a UTM-tracked PH link

e.g. ?utm_source=producthunt. Measure conversions separately from other traffic so you know what launch day actually drove.

Build a PH-exclusive landing page or offer

e.g. '30% off Pro, PH exclusive, first 100 only.' Gives visitors a reason to convert now instead of bookmarking for later.

Prepare an FAQ doc, top 15 questions and answers

Pull questions from beta users plus your own intuition about objections. Speeds up comment replies during the busiest hours.

Load-test signup/checkout flow for a traffic spike

A launch-day outage or broken signup form is the single most avoidable way to waste the traffic you worked for.

Confirm analytics and conversion tracking are live

PostHog, GA, or whatever you use, verify events fire correctly before traffic arrives, not after.

Have a fast-response plan for bugs reported in comments

Someone on the team should be able to ship a fix or at least acknowledge within the hour during launch day.

Audience Building

Give your own users and network time to show up.

0/6
Brief existing users, send a launch date announcement

Give them 2 weeks notice so they mark their calendar. Your warmest audience should never find out on launch day itself.

Draft the email to your list for launch morning

Short, direct, one clear CTA to the PH link. Send early enough to catch the first-hour momentum window.

Prep social posts (Twitter/X, LinkedIn) for launch day

Write these in advance, not live. Include the direct PH link and a reason to click beyond 'we launched.'

Identify relevant communities and Slack/Discord groups

Places where genuine mentions are welcome, not spam drops. Ask mods about self-promo rules ahead of time.

Line up 5-10 people to comment (not just upvote) early

Early substantive comments do more for momentum and ranking signal than silent upvotes alone.

Avoid vote manipulation or bought upvotes

PH actively detects and penalizes this, it can get a listing removed entirely. Real, spread-out engagement is the only sustainable path.

Launch Day

The 24 hours that decide most of the outcome.

0/7
Go live at 12:00 AM PST

When the daily leaderboard resets. Launching even an hour late means competing against products with a head start.

Post the maker's first comment immediately

Don't draft it live, have it ready to paste the second the listing is up.

Send the launch email and social posts

Fire these off within the first hour, early momentum is what pushes a listing into PH's featured/trending surfaces.

Reply to every comment, fast and personally

Generic 'thanks!' replies read as low-effort. Specific, genuine responses keep the thread active longer.

Monitor for bugs and fix or acknowledge within the hour

A visibly broken product on launch day compounds fast in a public comment thread.

Track rank and traffic through the day, don't obsess

Check in on a schedule (e.g. every 2-3 hours) rather than refreshing constantly, it's not actionable more often than that.

Thank hunters, early commenters, and upvoters publicly

Costs nothing and builds the relationships you'll want for your next launch.

Post-Launch Follow-Up

Turn a good launch day into lasting pipeline.

0/6
Send a follow-up email to new signups within 48 hours

Strike while the context is fresh, before the PH traffic bump becomes a distant memory for them.

Add a 'Featured on Product Hunt' badge to your site

Especially valuable if you land Product of the Day or a top-3 spot, it's ongoing social proof.

Write a launch retro: what worked, what didn't

Capture this within a few days while it's fresh, it's the highest-leverage input for your next launch.

Reach out to engaged commenters for feedback calls

People who left thoughtful comments are disproportionately likely to become real users or advocates.

Repurpose launch assets into ongoing content

The demo video, screenshots, and comment thread highlights all have a second life outside of PH.

Keep the PH listing updated (changelog, new visuals)

Listings don't disappear after launch day, an actively maintained one keeps converting long-tail search traffic.

Your progress saves automatically

Every check is stored in your browser's localStorage. Close the tab, come back tomorrow, your progress is exactly where you left it.

4
Get a real-time score

Frequent questions about the Product Hunt launch checklist

Everything you need to know about planning a Product Hunt launch.

Founders, marketers, and small teams preparing a Product Hunt launch, whether it's your first listing or your fifth. It covers everything from maker profile setup weeks in advance to the outreach and follow-up work in the days after you go live.
Start the Profile & Community section 2 to 3 weeks out. PH rewards accounts with real history, so upvoting and commenting on other launches genuinely before you need favors matters more than any single asset. Listing assets and technical prep can compress into the final week if needed.
Your maker's first comment, posted the instant you go live. It sets the tone for the entire thread, gives early visitors the context and story a bare listing can't, and is usually the top upvoted comment if written well. Write it in advance, don't draft it live.
It's not required but it's high-impact. A 60 to 90 second Loom-quality walkthrough with clear narration consistently outperforms polished but scriptless production value. If you're short on time, prioritize the gallery screenshots and tagline over video.
Yes. Every check is stored in your browser's localStorage, so your progress is exactly where you left it when you come back, no account or sign-in required.
12:00 AM PST, when the daily leaderboard resets. Launching even an hour late means competing against products that already have a head start on upvotes for that day's ranking.

Want your launch to actually convert, not just rank?

The checklist tells you what to prep. Infrasity does the execution: launch strategy, content, and the developer marketing that turns a good Product Hunt day into lasting pipeline.
