Ask HN: Best day of the week to launch a startup?
What's the best/worst day of the week to launch a SAAS startup? Is any one day better than another or are there any particular days to avoid if we're going to try to get online media coverage and traffic?
- kyle_martin1 15y agoYou're looking too deep into the details. As long as your product serves a need, does it in a unique way and does it well, then it doesn't matter what day you launch your SaaS project because it will grow organically. If you REALLY want an answer then I would pick either a Tuesday or a Thursday. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are the days that news sites use to do "mass" updates on the latest and greatest. Remember, it doesn't matter as long as your product has what I described above. Good luck! :)
- sparrish 15y agoThat's true - if it sucks, it won't matter what day we launch. <grin> But if it doesn't, we'd like to have the best possible opportunities for success. I appreciate the comment.
- mindcrime 15y agoI have a sneaking feeling that you're worrying about a micro-micro-micro-micro optimization here. I'd suggest spending your energy worrying about developing a top notch product, figuring out what your story is, and writing some compelling prose to tell that story, etc. That said... go for Thursday. Thursdays are cool.
