Marketer Crew - ⚡ MC - AFTER LAUNCH TIPS

Hello everyone,

Recently OnlyFans stated that they will ban sexually explicit videos starting from October due to pressure from payment providers. They aren't putting pressure due to ethics. They are putting pressure because of too many refunds etc. 

OnlyFans wants to move into Patreon niche. But it will take years to clean up the mess. For example, if I say that "please be my OnlyFan". At first, you'll assume something. Then you'll consider that I'm not selling nudes. This transformation will take a long time. And I think OnlyFans will bust before it.

Besides that, today's email includes few tips from Product Hunt Launch Checklist. These are taken from one of the 11 checklists present in the ebook. I will be launching this ebook on Product Hunt this week.

Top 10 things to do after launching on Product Hunt

1. Send an update to the email list

Share your Product Hunt aftermath (good or bad) with your email list. Keep them in the loop.

2. Segment Product Hunt launch clickers email audience

Check your email stats and put all people that clicked on your launch post in a different segment. Next time, whenever you launch, reach them first.

3. Get featured in Product Hunt collections

Find collections on Product Hunt that contain products similar to yours. Then check the creator bio and contact the owner on Twitter or some other way. Many people have connected Twitter with the Product Hunt profile.

Pitch them your product and gently ask them can you include it in your collection? This will improve your product discovery on Product Hunt and brings more users even after the launch day.

4. Leverage PH success as social proof and pitch the media

Reach out to relevant blogs, websites and try to leverage PH success as social proof. You may get some press this way.

5. Create a Product Hunt roundup post

Depending on the time, it can be a lengthy guide or a simple blog sharing your launch stats.

Share your learnings, what worked for you and what didn’t, and what should you do to make the launch even better.

6. Say "Thank You" to supporters

Do you remember spamming your friend's inboxes for upvotes? It's time for saying thanks to them.

P.S. Throw some party for your team as well.

7. Launch on Hacker News

9. Launch on Product Hunt multiple times by creating side-projects

The launch resulted in:

• 200 Pigeon signups (his product)

B. Remote weekly newsletter grew to ~4300 subscribers. They got a lot of subscribers from Product Hunt by launching multiple times. They launched a Remote work guide, Remote worker stories, Remote tools etc.

C. Typestudio is crushing PH by launching multiple side projects for their main project, Typestudio.

10. Gear up for a Product V2.o launch

People think the launch is just a one-time thing. No, it's not. Update your product and launch it again after six months. Check this Product Hunt's official doc for more.
