12:01 AM PST — GO LIVE
Your product goes live at exactly 12:01 AM PST. This is non-negotiable. Launching earlier = more hours on the homepage = more total exposure.
Immediately:
- Post your pre-written Maker Comment
- Send Wave 1 comms: social media posts, DMs to your launch squad, first email batch
- Your goal: 30–100 upvotes + 5–7 quality comments in the first hour
💡 Pro tip: Leverage time zones. If you have supporters in India, Europe, or Australia — they're awake right now. Activate them first.
4:00 AM PST — Rankings Go Live
Vote counts become visible. If you've built early velocity, you should be near the top. Now it's about maintaining position.
6:00–8:00 AM PST — Wave 2 (US wakes up)
- Send your main email blast (this is peak email open time)
- Post your LinkedIn announcement
- Tag relevant people and micro-influencers
- Your entire team should be sharing on their personal channels
12:00 PM PST — Midday Push
- Post an update on Twitter/X: "We're #X on Product Hunt — here's what we're hearing so far..."
- Reach out to anyone who hasn't engaged yet
- Reply to every single comment on your PH page (aim for under 9 minutes response time — top products average 8.3 minutes)
2:00–4:00 PM PST — Wave 3 (Final Push)
