    I think the best way to increase followers is to create in-depth discussions, provide valuable tips and just be who you are. Don't sell or pitch!

    Hello Elena, Product Hunt is a well-known community between founders and startup professionals. In order to get followers, you must be a leader in some areas where those users want to follow, want to know what you do, what you comment or what you share. Why will I follow someone? Because that person is sharing valuable and curated information because I want to learn from that person because I want to work with that startup because I want to collaborate in some project because I want to have in my network because we are in the same industry. Then, in order to be a leader in the area you want to develop you must: - Create discussions about your topic. - Comment on discussions about your topic. - Create collections. - Try, comment and upvote launches. - Check upcoming pages and subscribe. - Write stories in Product Hunt (top). - Become an ambassador. - Share content on your social media pointing to content on Product Hunt. - Follow users that you want to engage. I expect with these ideas you could increase the followers on Product Hunt. Cheers,

    The best is to be active in product hunt discussions. It will show your expertise and slowly build up your follower base. You can also try to follow some people some of them will follow back.

    @fabian_maume Agreed, I have personally observed that engagement in discussion is constructive to increase your followers.

    I think it is the same as any other social media platform. When you get involved in the community through conversations you gain more followers.

    I guess the number of followers would not matter as much as the quality of followers. I find this place to be the best platform in the sense of networking with like-minded people. There are so many accounts here that simply don't get that and generally follow you to get followed back (viz sad). Just my opinion about using PH. Do correct me if I'm wrong @5harath
    Elena Cirera
    @5harath @heffendi My thought is a little different. I think Product Hunt is not like Instagram, Tiktok, and Facebook, where people come for so many followers. For me, Product Hunt is like LinkedIn, where people come to achieve professional goals.

    I guess just build relationships with makers. Spend 15 min of your day going through the new products and post valuable feedback :)
    Elena Cirera
    @shivi_jalota Thanks for sharing your feedback, but I think 15 minutes are less for this activity.

    @elena_cirera Time depends on you but I guess if you are a beginner start slow - 15-20 min would work:)

    Just like on any social media, one needs to engage as much as possible on Product Hunt if they want to build some connections. Indulge in conversations, provide value via your comments and discussions, and most importantly, stay genuine.

    I think that by constantly participating in product hunt—asking questions, sharing stories, and offering assistance to new startups with relevant ideas—I have increased my reputation in the community and improved my standing with those involved in these startups.
