How I Got #4 on Product Hunt: My First Launch Story

Alex Cloudstar shares his first Product Hunt launch experience with CoLaunchly, a marketing tool for indie makers. Launching solo on a Tuesday, he reached #4 for the day, briefly outranking Notion. Key success factors included picking the right launch day, building community relationships, promoting across Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Slack, LinkedIn, and emailing his waitlist. He also used an interactive demo via Arcade to let users try the product without signing up. Lessons learned include being prepared for the launch start time, pre-writing outreach content, and avoiding Reddit bans from over-promotion.
