Generate a Product Hunt Pre-Launch Checklist

If you're launching a product on Product Hunt, timing and preparation matter more than luck. This Gemini prompt generates a complete pre-launch checklist tailored to your specific product, helping you coordinate community engagement, design professional assets, and execute flawlessly on launch day. It's designed for founders, product managers, and marketing teams who want to maximize their Product Hunt visibility without guessing what to prioritize. Instead of scrambling together a launch plan days before going live, you get a structured roadmap that accounts for every critical phase.

Using this prompt is straightforward. You fill in the product placeholder with whatever you're launching, whether it's a SaaS tool, mobile app, browser extension, or any other product type. For example, if you're launching a project management tool called TaskFlow, you'd ask Gemini to build a pre-launch checklist for submitting TaskFlow to Product Hunt. The tool then generates a checklist that includes specific actions like building a Product Hunt community, creating thumbnail graphics in the right dimensions, timing your launch announcement, and managing day-of responses to early voters and comments.

When you run this prompt, expect Gemini to return a detailed, actionable checklist organized by timeline. You'll get concrete tasks for weeks before launch, the week leading up, and your actual launch day. The output covers community building tactics, asset specifications for Product Hunt's exact image requirements, messaging strategies, and real-time engagement strategies for your launch hours.

For better results, customize the prompt by adding your product's category or unique positioning. Instead of generic advice, tell Gemini whether you're launching a B2B or B2C product, if you already have an existing audience, or if this is a complete market entry. This context helps Gemini generate a checklist that matches your actual situation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
