review and launch

  • Launch checklist:

Check that you’ve completed all of the required * information. Go the extra mile with suggested information — Successful launches usually do.

  • Product name *

  • Product tagline *

  • Description *

  • Launch tags *

  • First comment

  • Thumbnail *

  • Image gallery *

  • Video / Loom

  • Makers

  • Shoutouts

  • Launch date: YYYY-MM-DD

additional notes

  • You can still edit your post and change the launch date by adding /edit to the end of your URL.

On launch day:

  • Add /launch-day to the end of your URL to get to a dashboard where you can monitor your entire launch from, respond to questions and comments about your product throughout the day.
  • Share a link to your launch on social, email, and beyond. Don't explicitly ask for upvotes or spam with cold DMs and emails. Keep it genuine.
  • Utilizing upvote services will result in your removal from the homepage. Sharing in promotion/upvote groups often results in low quality or spam activity that will negatively impact your launch performance. If your "growth consultant" is using prohibited tactics you will be held responsible.
