Hello Product Hunt community!
I wanted to talk about the importance of followers on Product Hunt and how they can impact the success of a product launch.
First of all, having a strong following on Product Hunt can help increase visibility and engagement for your product. When you launch, your followers will receive a notification and are more likely to upvote and comment on your product, which can help it rise to the top of the homepage and attract more attention from the wider community.
In addition, having a large following can also serve as social proof for your product. Seeing that other people are interested in and following your product can make potential users more confident in trying it out themselves.
Another benefit of having followers is that it can help you build a community around your product. You can use the Product Hunt platform to engage with your followers and gather feedback, which can be invaluable for improving and growing your product.
Overall, followers on Product Hunt can play a significant role in the success of your product launch and the long-term success of your product. So don't underestimate the power of building a following on the platform!

I think it's especially important for those who are building an audience of potential customers. I see it a lot on #buildingpublic Twitter. In contrast, I have been working on a B2C journaling app for iOS. I started investing time into engaging in various tech communities early 2022. Sometimes I wonder if it's been worth it, but at very least I've gotten feedback, support, and exposure to resources. Hopefully, when I launch my product on PH next month, some will help support!
If you'd like to stay in touch and support my PH Launch, here is a link to my Upcoming page (PH has since sunsetted their Ship suite of launch tools). Thanks!

Are you speaking about the product's followers?
A follower on the maker and hunter profile can also help a lot with your launch.

@sule_gorgulu @erdem_kirmitci I find that most of the time people who have a large following count don't give you a follow back though.
Thanks for sharing, Sule. What should be the first steps towards community building for folks starting out on Product Hunt?
Could you please share the required action to get as many followers as possible? ๐ค Part of that is also to follow each one who shares the same interests, but there are limits to how many people you can follow each day ๐
Please correct me if I'm wrong ๐

@ariel_orbach You are right, however, there is also a short cut hahah. The daily quota resets every few hours, so make sure you sign in and follow new people every 2-3 hours! I try to follow the ones who have the longest streak- take a look at the section on the right part of your PH homepage. I hope this is helpful.
@sule_gorgulu, ๐ค Liked the idea, but the implementation was tiring ๐
1,110 followers followed 38 accounts on the 1st day. Still, the concept had promise! ๐ก

( Hey there Product Hunt community!
Just wanted to give a shout out to the power of followers on the platform.
Let me break it down for you:
First things first, having a solid following on PH can give your product some serious visibility and engagement. When you drop your product, your peeps will get a notification and are more likely to give it some love in the form of upvotes and comments. This can help your product climb to the top of the homepage and get more attention from the rest of the community.
Not only that, but a big following can also act as social proof for your product. Seeing that other people are interested in and following your product can give potential users more confidence in trying it out for themselves.
But that's not all - followers can also help you build a community around your product. You can use PH as a platform to connect with your followers and get their feedback, which can be super valuable for improving and growing your product.
So don't sleep on the importance of followers on Product Hunt. They can be a major factor in the success of your product launch and the long-term success of your product. Got any thoughts or experiences on the subject? Share 'em in the comments! )
If you want to know what you need to ask chatGPT3 to get similar result pm me.

Maybe the followers on PH do impact the launch, but it's also your bigger community outside PH. The TAM is not here on PH.
I haven't understood the impotence of flowers to the full extent, and I am already working to build a follower base.
