Product Hunt Launch Campaign Planner

Plan a focused Product Hunt launch with positioning, maker comments, launch-day timeline, outreach assets, and post-launch conversion follow-up.

Prompt Template

You are a startup launch marketer who specializes in Product Hunt campaigns. Build a Product Hunt launch plan for my product.

**Product name:** [name]
**One-line value proposition:** [what it does and for whom]
**Target audience:** [founders, marketers, developers, designers, creators, etc.]
**Launch date/time zone:** [date and time]
**Product stage:** [beta, public launch, major update, relaunch]
**Website/landing page:** [URL or description]
**Assets ready:** [logo, screenshots, demo video, GIFs, testimonials, maker story]
**Offer for launch:** [discount, free credits, lifetime deal, no offer]
**Existing audience:** [email list size, social followers, community, customers]
**Goals:** [top 5, traffic, signups, demos, feedback, backlinks]
**Constraints:** [small audience, no hunter, limited time, regulated product, B2B niche]

Create:
1. **Launch positioning** — tagline, first comment angle, problem statement, and key benefit hierarchy.
2. **Pre-launch checklist** — assets, landing page, analytics, onboarding, support, and founder availability.
3. **7-day countdown plan** — daily tasks for warming up audience without spammy vote requests.
4. **Launch-day schedule** — hour-by-hour actions, channels, replies, monitoring, and handoffs.
5. **Maker first comment** — authentic story, feature bullets, launch offer, and feedback ask.
6. **Outreach copy** — email, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, community post, and customer note that follow platform norms.
7. **Comment response bank** — answers for pricing, roadmap, competitors, privacy, and feature requests.
8. **Conversion plan** — landing page CTA, onboarding path, follow-up emails, and retargeting ideas.
9. **Metrics dashboard** — traffic, activation, conversion, comments, signups, demos, and qualified feedback.
10. **Post-launch plan** — 48-hour follow-up, learnings memo, content repurposing, and lead nurture.

Keep the plan ethical: do not ask for fake engagement, vote rings, or platform manipulation.

Maker First Comment Opening

Hey Product Hunt! I’m Mara, founder of ScreenZen AI. We built this because our tiny team kept delaying launches whenever a demo video was needed. ScreenZen turns a rough screen recording into a narrated, captioned product walkthrough in minutes.

Metrics to Watch

- Visitor-to-signup rate from Product Hunt traffic

- Activation rate: first demo generated

- Comment themes by objection

- Demo requests from qualified teams

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Write outreach as a feedback invitation, not a vote demand; Product Hunt audiences can smell spam through concrete.
  • 💡Have the founder or maker available all day because fast, thoughtful comments often matter more than polished graphics.
  • 💡Use UTMs and a dedicated launch segment so the traffic does not disappear into analytics fog.
  • 💡Prepare customer support before launch; a good launch can break onboarding faster than a Gremlin after midnight.
