Product Hunt Launch Plan

Build high-converting sales funnels using Russell Brunson's proven framework Use when: **Launching an online product** and need a complete funnel strategy; **Converting cold traffic** into paying customers systematically; **Increasing customer lifetime value** through value ladder design; **Writing sales pages, webinars, or email sequences** with proven scripts; **Reverse-engineering competitor funnels** to model what works

Startup coach for founders and early-stage teams. Trigger when someone mentions: "what should we focus on", "should we build X", "should we raise", "we're stuck", "why isn't this growing", "pipeline is thin", "we're not converting", "we're spread too thin", "team is busy but nothing ships", "I don't know what to do next", or asks about churn, hiring, runway, burn rate, deal flow, fundraising, WIP, JTBD, customer factory, constraint, throughput — in a startup context. NOT for: freelancers, agencies, established companies, coding help, debugging.

Clarify brand messaging using narrative structure that positions the customer as hero. Use when the user mentions "brand message", "website copy", "elevator pitch", "one-liner", "messaging isnt resonating", "brand script", "StoryBrand framework", or "customer as hero". Also trigger when rewriting homepage copy, crafting email nurture sequences, or creating consistent messaging across sales collateral and marketing materials. Covers landing page copy, marketing collateral, and consistent communication. For memorable messaging, see made-to-stick. For product positioning, see obviously-awesome.

Apply the six principles of ethical persuasion (reciprocity, commitment, social proof, authority, liking, scarcity) to product design, copy, and sales. Use when the user mentions "social proof", "persuasive copy", "why users dont convert", "ethical persuasion", "reciprocity", "scarcity tactics", or "commitment and consistency". Also trigger when designing testimonial sections, crafting urgency messaging, or improving trust signals on landing pages. For deal negotiation tactics, see negotiation. For viral word-of-mouth, see contagious.

Cross-format content adaptation. Turning one substantial piece into many derivative formats (blog series, email sequences, social posts, webinars, podcasts, video shorts) without losing the original's value or producing AI-slop variants. The discipline of adaptation per medium rather than mass-blast distribution. Triggers on content repurposing, content adaptation, cross-format content, content atomization, content multiplication, content distribution across formats, source-piece-to-derivative, video shorts from blog, email from whitepaper, podcast from article, blog series from research. Also triggers when a flagship piece is shipping but the team has not planned how to extend it across formats, when repurposing is happening but the derivatives feel mass-produced, or when AI-assisted repurposing is producing slop variants of strong source pieces.

Designing interactive calculators (ROI calculators, pricing estimators, savings projections, mortgage calculators, custom assessments) that deliver real decision-support value while serving as lead magnets and qualified-traffic generators. Honest about vanity-calculator (no real value), lead-trap (hides the answer behind email), and transparent-decision-tool (gives the result and earns the email through tiered value) patterns. Triggers on calculator, ROI calculator, pricing estimator, savings calculator, custom calculator, interactive tool, decision tool, financial calculator. Also triggers when an audience needs a calculation-driven lead magnet, when a vanity calculator is producing leads but no qualified ones, or when a calculator is being scoped for the first time.
