1) Post to Product Launch Websites
Below are a list of the best websites we've seen for launching your product and research on the best times/practices for posting:

  • Product Hunt: The best place to launch new products (Best time is 7am PST)
  • Hacker News: A community of hackers from the team at Y Combinator (don't do a voting ring! They will down your post)
  • Startuplister: They hand submit your startup to many tech news outlets strategically over time for you.


2) If you have good contacts, get a TechCrunch/The Next Web/Verge article.

This is number 11 and a bit of a bonus. You can't always control this, but the best way to get an article is to be friends with a writer . TechCrunch doesn't write about you, a journalist there does, make some friends!
