Launch Day, Hour by Hour: A Timeline That Keeps You Sane

Launch day is mostly waiting punctuated by ninety seconds of panic. A timeline removes most of the panic.

Morning: publish and go quiet

Publish the listing, check every link on a phone, then stop refreshing. Spend the first hour telling the ten people who already care, one message each, no copy-paste blast.

Publish your story post at the same time so early visitors have something to read while they decide.

Midday: the two hours that matter

Be at the keyboard when your timezone is awake. Reply to every comment within minutes, with a real answer and no pitch.

If someone reports a bug, fix it during the launch and say so in the replies. Nothing converts like visible responsiveness.

Evening: collect, not count

Export every email, follower and reply into one list. The launch's value is the list, not the badge on the leaderboard.

Write down what worked in five lines while it is fresh. You will do this again with the next product and you will not remember.
