+1 to engage and don't just engage for the sake of launching. It gets annoying when makers self-promote their product in every reply they post and sometimes that backfires. Take a bit time out of your day and give back to the community.

Yess! Excited to be digging more into product data - we've been running a few experiments now and there are tons of experiment insights waiting to be uncovered

Engage in the community and geniunely participate! I've found most people at PH to be super helpful and friendly so get their input and start building up some momentum.

congrats on your launch!

Congrats!! That's impressive growth

Congrats! I'll definitely support

Time & prioritization - building anything good is time consuming so ultimately it is a question of whether or not you want to put in the time and effort.

Do a product waitlist landing page and build eyeballs for your page to gather some early feedback

Do you know who are your target users and where do they hang out? Try to find channels where they are active and buid your audience there, whether via paid or free. You can use content and community marketing to build audience yourself or leverage influencers always active in those channels to scale your approach

What products are you trying to sell?

This will also depends on the size of your product & how much funding you have. If you are just starting out - founder personal branding is a cost effective way to manage this. You can also do cold outreach - this is definitely one channels proven to work. But it takes time for you to figure out a working system too.

Congrats!!!

Getting a massage! It's been such a gamer changer for me

Getting feedback & perspectives. Being able to feel like there is someone else to lean on

Congrats Hashir!! How much time do you spend on PH daily? just out of curiousity haha

Yes!! Excited to kick off the new week after a well-rested weekend

We've tried cold DMs before - take a while to get enough responses to start building out enough data but still worthwhile. Another shortcut would be to find your online community and just be active there and contribute till you build enough relationships. Then it'll get a lot easier for people to talk to you.

SEO - we're trying to play the long term game and SEO seems to make the most sense for us.

If you are starting from scratch...chances are you'd have to leverage your personal network. Friends, former colleagues, investor relationships etc to get a head start. or target small startups (if they make sense). Most B2B buyers are risk averse and hard to target without initial traction.

Great list - thanks everyone for sharing! Been on the look for other platforms to stay active on
