Hello everyone,

Welcome to 150+ new subscribers. Thank you for joining us.

Today's email is about Product Hunt Launch Checklist and how to strengthen your personal brand by using your own reaction gifs.

Product Hunt Launch Checklist

Initially, I underestimated the time required to complete Product Hunt Launch Checklist. I was wrong. It took me 3X more time than I assumed. It took me 100+ hours and 3 weeks to complete. 

Finally, my first e-book / checklist / database is complete. ( I don't know what I should call it.) 

It's an all-in-one collection of planning checklists, tips, guides, resources, and tools. On top of it, there is a Product Hunt community where you can ask questions, and get feedback/support on the launch day.

Database/ebook is divided into 11 sections which are as follows:

• 1 month before — 12 tips
• 1 week before — 24 tips
• 1 day before — 16 tips
• Launch day — 42 tips
• After launch — 32 tips
• Launch kit — 16 tips
• Places to share PH launch — 67 places
• People — with 5 filters section to get the maximum support
• Tools — 30 tips
• Resources — 10 tips
• Extras — 06 tips

Get all this for $29 only! (for the next few hours)

Once the launch deal runs out, price will go up to $49.

Plus, the Google Sheets version is coming tomorrow and the Notion version is coming at the end of this week.

Everyone who purchases today will get the Launch day timetable for FREE.

Strengthen your personal brand by creating your own reaction gifs

Responding with emojis and generic gifs is for the birds. Create your own reaction gifs to strengthen your brand, and have a little fun while you're at it.

Ramli John of ProductLed made 33 of his own reaction gifs, and it only took about 20 minutes. He included a mind-blown reaction, a wave, a hat-tip, celebration, you name it. 

Now, when he responds to be people on social media, he does it in style. His responses stand out, his face becomes familiar, he builds relationships, and his brand gets strengthened — far more so than if he used a generic gif without his mug. 

To get started, record yourself on Zoom, then trim the video using something like QuickTime. Convert it from an mp4 into a gif using a tool like EZGIF or CloudConvert. Then use them when relevant, but try not to overdo it.

  Do the math.
•  @Victor — Your app should be fast. But if you cannot achieve this - make it FEEL fast by using loaders/skeletons/lazy-loading images and so on. What matters is perception.
