Hey - Aleric here with a quick, urgent message...
We are literally MINUTES away from going LIVE on Product Hunt with ThumbnailCreator! 🚀
After 2+ years of building, training AI models & growing alongside 15,000+ creators (including YOU!)... the moment is HERE.
And I need to ask one quick favor before we go live...
Please be ready to click the Upvote button the SECOND we go live. 🙏
🎯 Why The First Few Hours Matter SO Much
Product Hunt launches are ALL about momentum.
The products that hit #1 Product of the Day are almost always the ones that get a flood of Upvotes in the first few hours after going live.
Early Upvotes signal to the Product Hunt algorithm that the launch has genuine community support - which boosts our visibility, pushes us to the top of the homepage, & sets us up to potentially hit #1.
That means YOUR Upvote in the first few hours is worth more than an Upvote later in the day. ⏰
📋 Your 30-Second Game Plan
Here's exactly what I need you to do so you're ready when we go live:
✅ Step 1: Bookmark the Launch Page
✅ Step 2: Make Sure You're Logged Into Product Hunt
If you don't have an account yet, sign up - it takes 10 seconds & is completely free.
✅ Step 3: Hit That Big Orange UPVOTE Button! 🔼
The moment you see the launch is live, smash that Upvote button. That's it - you're done!
✅ BONUS Step 4: Drop a Comment! 💬
If you have 30 extra seconds, leave a quick comment on our launch page sharing your experience using ThumbnailCreator. As a current user, your comment carries SO much weight - it's authentic social proof that helps potential new users see the real value of the tool.
Comments are HUGE - they're one of the strongest signals to the Product Hunt algorithm & can dramatically boost our ranking.
🙏 Greg & I Are SO Grateful
I want you to know - Greg & I have been working toward this launch for months. Late nights, early mornings, endless tweaks to make sure ThumbnailCreator keeps getting better & better for creators like you.
The fact that you're reading this email right now, ready to support us... that means more than you'll ever know. 🙏
We'll both be on Product Hunt the entire day - answering every comment, taking feature requests, & sharing behind-the-scenes insights from our 16+ years on YouTube.
So if you have ANY questions, feature ideas, or just want to say hi... drop a comment on the launch page & we'll be there to chat with you in real-time! 💬
⏰ Stay Locked In - We're Going Live in Just Hours!
Keep an eye on your inbox - the next email I send will be the official "WE'RE LIVE" announcement with the direct Upvote link.
The moment that email hits your inbox, please drop everything & take 10 seconds to click over & Upvote. Those first few hours are EVERYTHING. 🚀
💌 Thank You In Advance!
You showing up for us today means the world. Truly.
Whether it's an Upvote, a comment, a share with a fellow creator, or just a "good luck!" reply to this email... every bit of support fuels us. 🙏
Alright - I gotta go finalize a few last things before we go live!
See you on Product Hunt in just hours...
To Your Success,
- Aleric Heck | Founder & CEO of AdOutreach + ThumbnailCreator
