A/B Test Setup

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan and run experiments to find out which version of your page, email, or ad works best.

Launch Strategy

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan product launches, feature releases, and go-to-market campaigns that build momentum.

A/B Test Setup

• Helps you write a clear hypothesis for what you're testing and why
• Calculates how much traffic and time you need for statistically valid results
• Guides you in choosing primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics to track
• Explains how to design test variants that isolate a single meaningful change
• Analyzes results and tells you whether the difference is real or just noise

Launch Strategy

• Creates phased launch plans from internal testing through full public release
• Structures marketing across owned (email, blog), rented (social media), and borrowed (partnerships) channels
• Provides Product Hunt launch strategies including pre-launch prep and day-of tactics
• Suggests launch touchpoints like customer emails, in-app announcements, and social posts
• Recommends ways to build waitlists, early access programs, and invite-only momentum
