Ask How long before launch should I start marketing?

[Meridian]

Many new creators wait too close to launch before talking about their product. Starting marketing early gives time to explain what the product does and why it matters. For small products, a few weeks can be enough to build interest. Bigger products often need more time so people can learn, ask questions, and trust the brand. Early posts and emails should focus on the problem first, not sales. This keeps things calm and honest before launch. How early do you think marketing should begin for new products today online in general?

Starting at least a month before launch makes sense for most products. That gives you enough time to warm up your audience without dragging things out too long. You can share behind the scenes updates, explain the problem you're solving, and get people curious about what's coming.

It depends on what you're selling and who you are selling to. A simple digital product like an ebook or course might only need two or three weeks of buildup. Something more complex like software or a membership site could benefit from two or three months of pre-launch content.

You should start talking about it as soon as you commit to building it. That doesn't mean you need a full marketing campaign from day one, but sharing your progress and getting feedback early can shape your product into something people actually want. This approach also builds an audience while you're creating, so you're not launching to an empty room.

The truth is, building real buzz takes time. Tease the idea early, drop hints, grow your audience, and warm them up so they're excited when you finally hit "go."If you wait until the week before, you're basically screaming into the void. People need time to discover you, trust you, and get hyped. Start conversations, share behind-the-scenes stuff, run small tests, and build momentum. The earlier you begin, the less desperate it feels and the more organic the launch becomes.

I think it depends on what you are launching, but starting early usually works better than waiting until the last minute. If you begin marketing too close to launch, people may not have enough time to notice, understand, and get interested in what you are offering.
