Startup and product launch campaigns on X

A launch has one big advantage: a date. This page shows how to use it, with a plan that fits a small team and an honest view of what to expect.

Three phases of a launch

  1. Before

    Teasers, a waitlist and a hashtag people can learn.

  2. Launch day

    Founders, team and early users post within a short window.

  3. After

    Replies, thank-yous and a recap with real numbers.

Who should post

  • Founders and the team, in their own voice.
  • Early users and partners who agree to post.
  • Relevant creators and communities, with paid posts disclosed.

What to measure

Choose two or three metrics before launch, such as sign-ups from X, replies from target users and the number of unique accounts using the hashtag. Raw impressions alone say little about business value.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Starting only on launch day with no audience.
  • Posting identical text from many accounts.
  • Promising to trend. Aim to be useful and visible instead.
