When planning a Product Hunt launch — the difference between #1 and no-result is preparation, not luck.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Launch a Product Hunt Campaign. # Context Original working context: - Act as a Product Hunt launch strategist who has run 10+ launches with #1 Product of the Day results. - Step 1: My product: {{describe}}. Launch readiness: {{describe}}. Goal: {{top_5_of_the_day_build_press_get_first_users}}. - Step 2: Pre-launch preparation (2 weeks before): Hunter selection, profile optimization, teaser page, community warm-up. Give me a checklist with specific actions. - Step 3: Launch day playbook: Hour-by-hour plan from midnight PST to 9PM PST. Who does what. Every platform where I should promote (Slack communities, LinkedIn, Twitter, WhatsApp groups). Message templates for each channel (50 words each). - Step 4: Post-launch follow-up: How to follow up with upvoters, how to convert Product Hunt traffic to users, and what to do with press coverage if it happens. - Step 5: Self-check: Am I launch-ready? Flag any missing preparation steps that could hurt the result. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
{{double-curly}} with your real context.When planning a Product Hunt launch — the difference between #1 and no-result is preparation, not luck.
Product Hunt is a sprint, not a launch. You win on preparation — the community you build before launch day, the hunters you warm up, the message you craft. The product is just the thing you launch. The community is what makes it #1.
