Launching your product on Uneed is an exciting opportunity to get visibility, feedback, and your first users. Whether you're planning a new product launch or looking for the right product launch strategy, here's our complete guide to help you make the most of your launch day.
Uneed features 4 leaderboards: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly. Reaching the podium (top 3) on any of these earns you a badge displayed on your product page. But beyond the badge, each podium offers unique benefits:
Reaching the daily podium gives you maximum visibility on launch day. Your product will be prominently displayed on the homepage, attracting more clicks, votes, and potential users. It's your moment to shine!
The weekly and monthly podiums offer sustained visibility over time. Your product stays in the spotlight longer, and the top 3 products are featured in our newsletter sent to 15,000+ subscribers. This means continued exposure long after your launch day.
This is the ultimate achievement on Uneed. Reaching the yearly podium means your product will receive traffic throughout the entire year. It's the grail that keeps on giving - consistent visibility that compounds over time.
The best part? Uneed uses rolling leaderboards, so votes count at any time. Even after your launch day, you can climb the rankings by continuing to engage with the community and encouraging your users to vote.
Before your official launch, share your pre-launch page to collect emails from interested users. They'll be notified when your product goes live, giving you an instant boost of traffic and votes on launch day.
