Warm Up Your Upvoters Before Launch Day
Warm Up Your Upvoters Before Launch Day is a launches & ph/hn tactic for getting your first users: Recruit your supporters days ahead of the launch and have them establish active, aged accounts, because ranking systems discount votes from accounts created the same day.
It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for any product launching on Product Hunt or similar ranked platforms. As a launches & ph/hn play, plan for low effort and expect results to show up quickly, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
