    @abbas143official couldn't have said it better, the community is the core behind any good product's launch, here's to our own launch as well :)

    @abbas143official couldn’t agree more. It ultimately boils down to the value you’re adding to the community. And doing it with the intention of actually bringing something to the table and not just as a means to promote your own launch :)

    @austinarmstrong Yes! Bots are on every platform, and here I'm sure bots are trapped everyday by PH algorithm / team.

    It has been a long time since I launched something – but for me, it was reaching out to people. Would I do it differently? Maybe yes. I would create a deeper conversation with "key players" – but these should be created naturally. Do not be active only on PH, but also on other social media and groups.

    @busmark_w_nika interesting! I’ll check these out 🙌 thank you so much for sharing this

    Austin Armstrong
    @busmark_w_nika Right on point with being active in other platforms! We have to bear in mind that we have to be flexible and ready to reach out to different people (founders, users, critics, etc.). And that their feedback all matters

    @sentry_co But there's no other way to talk to PHunters other than discussion here in community - right? No DM's etc?

    Austin Armstrong
    @sentry_co Very nice! Any tips for our new PH friends here for that?

    @austinarmstrong I dunno. Support great products, esp the ones that are not "scale-pumped by the SaaS bro mafia" 😬 usually there are really awesome projects bellow top10 as well. Show them some love. You might be surprised.

    I get involved in discussions, I deal with the launches, I review products there, I exchange ideas with others about products. I think ist absolutely important to engage a lot!
    Share
    Austin Armstrong
    @julia_engelsmann Love your energya and your 100% efforts! And I completely agree with this. If an individual needs to engage, he or she should do it with full efforts, not halfway through it only.

    @salar__davari Glad to know that. Sharing tips and strategies is not the cup of tea of everyone nor is it something others are willing to do. I love sharing all the things that have made me successful. You can actually see it in all my SM channels and accounts

    I imagine how my product could change the world (if it was known widely), and speak to how its core value could change someone's life locally. P.s. Today is the launch of Clean Cuts! If curious: Clean Cuts offers advanced, customizable auto-censor and transcription capabilities, enabling you to share media with those sensitive to explicit content and create effortless media cuts through transcription lines, and more. 8 hrs free transcription per/month Thank you for your consideration!

    Been really engaged with the awesome Product Hunt community as I prep for my AI startup launch in June. You all have provided such valuable insights! As a fellow maker, I'd love to connect and support each other's journeys. If you're open to it, let's link up - having a crew to bounce ideas off and cross-promote with in these final stages would be clutch. Lets connect

    LinkedIn seems to be the most valuable medium (but on here in discussion threads works for non-curated outreach)

    Before I launch on Product Hunt, it's important to connect with the community by sharing a sneak peek of the product, asking for their feedback and joining discussions,

    Engaging with the Product Hunt community before your launch is like warming up the crowd before a big show – you want to build excitement and anticipation for your grand entrance!

    I'm just searching for interesting discussions, and give mine opinion on topics, I think it's best way to find like-minded people, because community it's all about vision.
