a single source, nothing corroborates it
Commission the lead image, it travels everywhere
The listing sits in a feed of screenshots, so a made GIF or real design work is what stops the scroll. That leading image is also reused as the preview card everywhere the launch gets shared onward, so it is doing two jobs at once. Pay someone if you cannot make it yourself.
The method
- 01
Commission a GIF or strong visuals for the listing so your product stands out in a feed of screenshots.
- 02
Put real effort into the very first image you upload, because the platform reuses it as the social preview image everywhere the launch gets shared.
What it returned
A friend, Jana, made a GIF for the listing.
Product Hunt takes the leading image from the post as the meta image for social shares.

No roundup of links, no news. Three tactics more than one builder arrived at separately, with the numbers each one returned and the disagreements left in.
