How to reach Top Product of the day on Product Hunt

Convoy's recent successful launch on Product Hunt, which led them to achieve the #7 product of the day and the 39th product of the week, was driven by strategic planning and community engagement. The team learned from previous experiences and others' success stories, emphasizing the importance of building a strong community, engaging with active Product Hunt users, and involving a popular hunter, in this case, Michael Seibel, to boost visibility. They launched their product at 12 am PT on a Wednesday, capitalizing on timing to optimize engagement, and crafted clear messaging to effectively communicate their value proposition. Leveraging networks from the YC community and social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, they increased their product's visibility and engagement, resulting in a 42% increase in upvotes and a 67% increase in comments from their last launch. Despite not reaching their goal of being in the Top 5, Convoy experienced significant improvements and plans to share further insights in a future blog post.
