1. Prepare trust signals
Before launch, tighten the tagline, screenshots, pricing clarity, and founder links. Distribution works better when the product already looks credible.
Launch guide
A launch guide for founders who want momentum, not noise
Most launch advice is built around short-term spikes. This guide focuses on trust, positioning, and distribution so a launch keeps working after day one.
The launch mistakes that waste good products
- Launching without proof, screenshots, or a clear product story
- Relying on a one-day traffic spike instead of a distribution plan
- Using generic listings that do not build trust with the right users
2. Pick the right launch channel
Not every launch surface is equal. Daily feeds reward noise. Weekly cohorts give better products more room to be seen and compared.
3. Keep distributing after launch
A launch should lead into directory submissions, social proof, founder outreach, and a public listing that keeps compounding.
