Launching NewsperAI wasn’t just a solo run -- it felt like stepping into a competition.

Product of the Week. Product of the Month. Everyone wants the spotlight. I quickly realized: this isn’t about just showing up, it’s about being seen. And that means understanding the launch world’s rules.

The big term I had to learn -- Hunter. Sounds intense, right? Here’s the clean take:

"A Hunter is the person who posts or 'hunts' your product on Product Hunt. They bring it to the community’s attention."

-- So if you’re launching, someone else (a hunter) often submits it. You can also hunt your own product. But hunters are usually active, respected users with followers who get notified when they share something new.

Why it matters: Launches compete. Having a well-known hunter is like having someone ring the bell before you step on stage. Their followers see your product. That initial visibility matters.

Here’s the list of hunters (people who hunted or can hunt) I’ve come across as I launched:

Product Hunters : 

Kevin William David (https://kevinwilliamdavid.com/)

Chris Messina (https://chrismessina.me/)

Karthik Puvvada(https://bio.link/thisiskp) 

fmerian (dm.new/fmerian )

Rohan Chaubey (https://tidycal.com/rohanchaubey)

Anne-Laure Le Cunff (@neuranne )

Ryan Hoover (Founder of @ProductHunt)

Iaroslav Chuikov (https://buymeacoffee.com/eerie616)

Ivan Braun (https://aiandtractors.com/)

Tod Sacerdoti 

Zac Zuo 

Denys Zhadanov

They’re active, credible, and known -- and that reputation is the launch’s jetpack.

The competition? Real. Every week and month, there’s a best product. You’re racing for visibility. That means:

-- Pre-launch prep

-- Choosing the right hunter (or hunting yourself )

-- Launch timing (early morning PST works best)

-- Engaging hard on launch day

The takeaway --> In a world where launches compete for Product of the Week/Month, hunters are your wining card.

After I listed NewsperAI on Product Hunt, I received a few messages from founders worldwide, and it was nice connecting with them. I learned from this experience that some founders apply these tactics to grow their audience and business.

So here are 2 strategies for founders and creators to connect with like-minded people and grow their audience:

Method 1:

 You can regularly check sites like:

- Product Hunt (you can reach out to the founder)

- Indie Hackers (you can reach out to the person who shared a story)

- Entrepreneur Media Magazine (you can reach out to the person featured)

- Forbes (you can reach out to the person featured)

Method 2:

 This method can be applied to LinkedIn and X.

 You can simply type in words like:

 founder, CEO, Product Hunt, startup, etc.

Or you can try with tags like:

 #startup #ceo #startuplife #buildinginpublic 

I share in everything in detail on my newsletter :

Here’s how to nail brand clarity from day one

Your startup or business name is your first impression.

If it’s confusing or generic, you lose attention before you start.

Here’s a simple checklist for naming:

— Keep it short and easy to pronounce

— Make it memorable, not complicated

— Avoid generic words that don’t say what you do

— Check that the domain and social handles are available

— Think long term — will it still fit if you expand?

A clear name helps you stand out, makes marketing easier, and builds trust fast.

Don’t overthink it or chase trends.

Pick a name that clearly tells what you do or the value you bring.

Strong brand clarity starts with a strong name.

Because startups don’t die from lack of ideas.

They die from scattered energy and diluted execution.

Here’s the tactical truth:

— Context switching burns time → you think you're getting more done, you're just leaking energy

— Focus compounds → deep work creates leverage, not surface-level output

— Use time blocks to protect focus → 90 mins on, 30 mins off

— Batch tasks by mental mode → build, write, decide — never mix

— Cut your task list in half → keep only what moves the needle

— Kill fake progress → busy work ≠ traction

— Pick one north star per week → every task must ladder up to it

Multitasking feels productive.

Focus is productive.

Startups move fast when founders move with intent.

Trends come and go — chasing them risks building something nobody truly needs.

Here’s how to focus on pain points that lead to real product-market fit:

— Start by deeply understanding your target customers → what keeps them up at night? What frustrates them daily?

— Identify problems that cause real pain or loss → not just nice-to-have features or fleeting interests

— Validate these pain points through direct conversations, surveys, or observing behavior → data, not assumptions

— Build solutions that directly address these pain points → simplicity and clarity over flashy trendiness

— Focus on creating value that customers will pay for repeatedly → sustainable demand beats short-lived hype

— Keep iterating based on real feedback → trends shift, problems endure

Remember: Trends fade but real problems create lasting opportunities and loyal customers.

Focus on what matters → build for true pain points, not passing hype.
