How we won Product of the Week on Product Hunt

Tom Dekan Free Intermediate

A founder walking through the exact playbook that took his product to #1 Product of the Day, Week, and SaaS Product of the Month: the 3-week prep timeline, how he structured his maker comment, and how he ran launch-day outreach without buying or swapping votes. Concrete and specific rather than generic advice.

  • Start prep about 3 weeks out: date, teaser page, warm contact list
  • Structure your maker comment as story, problem, solution, key benefits
  • Win the first 4 hours by having your warmest contacts show up immediately
