- when_to_use
- Use this skill when you need to: execute a Product Hunt launch, plan multi-channel GTM sequencing (T-14 to T+7), select a hunter, write maker comments, seed launch-day community engagement, or build cold-start momentum for a new product.

# Product Launch — GTM Strategy & Product Hunt #1 Playbook
> 🌍 **Language / 语言**: [English](#english-version) | [中文](#中文版)
A launch is a *sequence*, not an event. The teams that win Product Hunt rarely have the best product that day — they have the best **timing, comment cadence, and pre-seeded audience**. This playbook is the 14-day operating timeline distilled from 30+ #1 daily launches.
---
## English Version
### The 14-day timeline
| Window | What you do |
|:---|:---|
| **T-14 — Prep** | Landing page, pricing, FAQ all live. ≥100 early users + email list. Pick **one** hunter. 3 gallery images + one 30-second demo video ready. |
| **T-7 to T-2 — Warm-up** | Post a "we're launching, AMA" in the PH discussion board. Tease on X / LinkedIn / Reddit **without linking the launch page** (don't leak the traffic). Greet your list. Confirm hunter timezone + **00:01 PST** post time. |
| **T-1 — Final check** | Lock every asset. Draft the first comment (<500 words). Prepare 10 FAQ reply templates. Ping 10–20 core supporters for tomorrow morning. |
| **T-0 — Launch day** | **00:01 PST** hunter posts → **00:15** you post the maker first comment → reply in batches every 30 min (never solicit upvotes) → **14:00 PST** push the second wave (mailing list + community) → **23:00 PST** post a thank-you. |
| **T+1 to T+7 — Momentum** | Reply to *every* comment, including the critical ones. Turn the "Featured" screenshot + numbers into a case study. If you hit daily #1, write a "how we won" post and set it as canonical. Import every upvoter email into your user pool. |
### Hunter selection matrix
| Priority | Criteria |
|:---|:---|
| **P0** | Successful hunt in the last 30 days **and** an adjacent product domain |
| **P1** | 1k+ followers **and** active (posts weekly) |
| **P2** | A real relationship (you've talked, mutual friends) |
| ❌ | 50k+ followers but no hunt in 6 months — vanity, low reach |
Find hunters: `producthunt.com/@<category>-hunters`. **Activity beats follower count.**
### Maker comment — pick one of 6 archetypes
1. **Founder story** — why you built it → your pain → the fix
2. **Before / After** — life without your product vs. with it
3. **Key-stat hook** — open with one explosive number
4. **Honest limitation** — admit what's not perfect yet (reads as real)
5. **Community thanks** — @-name the users who tested
6. **Tech-stack pride** — your architecture choices (for dev-facing products)
Choose by audience: dev product → #6; general → #1 or #3.
### Anti-pitfall checklist
- ❌ Don't still be changing the product on launch day (flaky).
- ❌ Don't have friends/family farm upvotes — PH shadowbans fast.
- ❌ Don't put external links in the first comment (triggers review demotion).
- ❌ Don't forget mobile screenshots (40% of traffic is mobile).
- ❌ Don't force daily #1 — #2–#3 are wins too (and draw less hate).
### What to do next
- Launch day + 24h → monitor "`<product> product hunt`" keyword rankings.
- Hit daily #1 → write the "how we won" post, set canonical to your domain.
- Heavy skepticism in comments → open formal user interviews.

### 14 天时间线
| 阶段 | 动作 |
|:---|:---|
| **T-14 准备** | 落地页、定价、FAQ 就绪。≥100 早鸟用户 + 邮箱列表。选 **1 个** hunter。3 张主 gallery 图 + 1 个 30 秒 demo。 |
| **T-7 到 T-2 预热** | PH discussion 发一篇 "we're launching, AMA"。X / LinkedIn / Reddit 预告但**不贴发布页链接**（别抢自己流量）。给用户列表打招呼。确认 hunter 时区 + **PST 00:01** 发布时间。 |
| **T-1 终检** | 锁定全部 asset。写好 first comment（<500 字）。备 10 条 FAQ 回复模板。提醒 10–20 个核心支持者。 |
| **T-0 发布日** | **00:01 PST** hunter 发布 → **00:15** 你发 maker first comment → 每 30 分钟回一批评论（绝不刷 upvote）→ **14:00 PST** 推 second wave → **23:00 PST** 发感谢帖。 |
| **T+1 到 T+7 后续** | 回完所有评论（含差评）。把 Featured 截图 + 数据做成 case study。进 daily #1 就写 "how we won" 并设 canonical。所有 upvoter 邮箱导入用户池。 |
### Hunter 选择矩阵
| 优先级 | 标准 |
|:---|:---|
| **P0** | 最近 30 天有成功 hunt 且产品领域相似 |
| **P1** | Follower 1k+ 且每周活跃 |
| **P2** | 有真实社交关系（聊过、共同朋友） |
| ❌ | Follower 50k+ 但 6 个月没 hunt — 虚荣指标、触达低 |
**活跃度 > follower 数。**
### Maker comment 6 种模板
1. **Founder story** — 为什么做 → 你的痛 → 解法
2. **Before / After** — 用你产品前后的对比
3. **Key stats hook** — 一个爆炸数据开头
4. **Honest limitation** — 承认还不完美，显真实
5. **Community thanks** — @ 点名测试用户
6. **Tech stack pride** — 技术选型（开发者向产品）
选哪个：to dev → 6；to general → 1 或 3。
### 反踩雷清单
- ❌ 发布当天还在改产品（flaky）
- ❌ 让亲友刷 upvote（PH 很快 shadowban）
- ❌ first comment 留外链（触发审核降权）
- ❌ 忘记 mobile 截图（40% 流量来自手机）
- ❌ 硬撑 daily #1（#2–#3 也是成功，且少被喷）
