Is launching on @ProductHunt worth it?

TL:DR We launched @AlpeAudio on PH, took #1 product of the day. Spent ~70 hours prepping for the launch.

Was it worth it?
— Yehoshua Zlotogorski (@yehoshzl) July 27, 2021

1/ Build an audience

Product Hunt launches are super hard when you don't have any support. I recommend having at least 500 followers before launch.

It can be:
- Any social media audience
- Newsletter subscribers
- Or followers on PH itself (cf the Ship feature)
