Hey everyone

I’m planning to launch my product on Product Hunt soon.
I started searching for hunters to help with the launch, but most of them charge $500+ and honestly that’s outside my current Product Hunt budget.

So now I’m thinking about launching it myself without a hunter.

Do you think that’s still a valid approach in 2026?
Has anyone here launched successfully without a hunter?

Would also love to hear any tips about:

• getting early upvotes
• preparing the launch
• communities that can help
• mistakes to avoid

Would appreciate any advice
