Hey - Aleric here with some BIG news...
Tomorrow, we're launching ThumbnailCreator on Product Hunt - & it's going to be one of the most important days in our company's history. 🚀
I'm sending you this email today as a ThumbnailCreator subscriber because YOU are exactly the kind of person we need showing up for us tomorrow.
You already know what ThumbnailCreator can do. You've used the tool. You've seen the results. And that puts you in the BEST possible position to help us share it with the world.
Here's a Sneak Peek at What's Inside This Email:
Why TOMORROW is a HUGE day for the ThumbnailCreator team & community
Why your support specifically (as a current user!) means SO much
What you can do TODAY to be ready to help us hit #1 tomorrow
A heartfelt thank-you from Greg & I for being part of this journey
Alright, let's Dive In...
🚀 What's Happening Tomorrow
For those who don't know, Product Hunt is the #1 place on the internet where new products launch to the world. Every single day, thousands of makers compete to be featured as the #1 Product of the Day - & the winners get exposure to hundreds of thousands of founders, marketers, creators & investors.
Hitting #1 Product of the Day is one of the most coveted milestones a software company can achieve.
Tomorrow, we're going for it.
After 2+ years of building, training AI models, refining, & growing alongside 15,000+ creators just like you - we're putting ThumbnailCreator in front of the entire Product Hunt community.
And I'm asking for your help to make sure we hit #1. 🙏
💛 Why YOUR Support Matters So Much
Here's the truth - the people who use ThumbnailCreator every day are the ones who can speak to it most authentically.
You're not just an Upvote on a launch page. You're a real creator who has experienced the value of the tool firsthand.
That's why your support tomorrow is going to mean SO much more than a generic Upvote from someone who just stumbled across the launch.
When you Upvote ThumbnailCreator on Product Hunt tomorrow, you're not just helping us hit #1. You're helping more creators discover a tool that could genuinely change the trajectory of their YouTube channel - just like it has for you.
That ripple effect is what gets me out of bed in the morning. 🙏
📅 Here's What I Need You to Do TODAY (To Be Ready for Tomorrow!)
To make tomorrow as smooth as possible, here are 3 quick things you can do RIGHT NOW so you're ready to Upvote the moment we go live:
✅ Step 1: Create Your Free Product Hunt Account (60 seconds)
If you don't already have a Product Hunt account, create one here for free. It takes about 60 seconds & it ensures your Upvote actually counts tomorrow (Product Hunt only counts votes from accounts that are at least a few hours old).
This is THE most important step - because if you wait until tomorrow to create your account, your Upvote may not count toward our ranking.
✅ Step 2: Bookmark Our Launch Page (10 seconds)
Bookmark our Product Hunt launch page right here so you can easily come back tomorrow morning to Upvote!
✅ Step 3: Watch Your Inbox Tomorrow Morning
I'll be sending you the direct Upvote link the moment we go live tomorrow morning. All you'll need to do is click the link & hit the Upvote button. The whole thing takes 30 seconds. ⏰
⏰ Why Timing Matters SO Much Tomorrow
Product Hunt launches run on a 24-hour clock based on PST. The earlier the Upvotes come in, the more momentum the launch builds, & the higher we climb the rankings throughout the day.
That means the FIRST few hours after we go live are absolutely critical.
The makers who win Product Hunt are the ones whose communities show up early & strong. So when you see my email tomorrow morning, please prioritize clicking that Upvote link as soon as you can. 🙏
💬 BONUS: Comments Are HUGE!
Here's a little Product Hunt insider tip...
Comments are one of the most powerful signals to the Product Hunt algorithm.
If you've used ThumbnailCreator & love it - dropping a quick, authentic comment on our launch page tomorrow about your experience would be one of the SINGLE most impactful things you could do for us.
It doesn't have to be long. A few sentences sharing what you love about the tool, the results you've gotten, or how it's saved you time goes a LONG way.
Greg & I will be on Product Hunt the entire day responding to every single comment - so we'll see yours & be able to chat with you live! 💬
🙏 Why This Means SO Much to Greg & I
I want to be real with you for a moment...
Building ThumbnailCreator has been a 2+ year journey of late nights, rebuilds, AI training cycles, & constant iteration. Greg & I poured our hearts into this tool because we genuinely believe great Thumbnails can transform a creator's channel - & we wanted to make that accessible to everyone.
The fact that you're reading this email today, as a current ThumbnailCreator user, means we've already done something right. You chose to use our tool. You stuck with us. You've been part of building this with us. 🙏
A successful Product Hunt launch tomorrow can put ThumbnailCreator in front of hundreds of thousands of new creators, founders, marketers & businesses who could benefit from it - the same way you have.
That's why this matters so much. And that's why I'm reaching out to you specifically today. 🚀
