With History Search I went through the phases of Early Idea To Revenue.

Product Hunt has become an essential component for me, that’s why I’ve trimmed several months of preparation and notes into a few easy to understand key-points:

1. What is Product Hunt about 2. How to Build an Early Beta Audience 3. How Do You Know What’s the Right Time to Launch — on Product Hunt 4. How to Get Your Launch Story Right — with a clear message 5. How to Leverage Your Launch to Get Press Coverage

Also included are lessons learned about:

-What type of content do you need and how to align your messages -Tips and facts about small things that could break or make your launch (for example OG images and file sizes) - How to structure and plan the launch day (I’ve included an Airtable with our examples and planning—for you to copy and reuse) - Most importantly, how you can use your launch to think together with hundreds if not thousands of people. - Finally I cover the 3 things I found most valuable, and will try to focus on even more in the future.

I'm adding a link because it contains a lot of images and gifs — and copying them over would be a bit of a nuisance. The article mentions and is focussed around a product I created and launched myself. You'll notice it's not a promotion but serves the purpose of giving real-life examples.

In the article you'll also find the link to an Airtable I used to plan our launch with real-life examples.

Hope you guys like it, put in a lot of effort to make it useful. Feel free to ask any question below, I'm ready to answer share things I learned.
