To be active

Richard Diaz · Answer

Straight to the point: Engage with the community. Post comments, upvote products you dig, and don't be shy to ask questions. Check out successful launches for ideas. For your own launch, make sure it's polished.

Maxwell Davis · Answer

I think the main thing is just to engage and contribute to everyone here 😀

Chris Sarca · Answer

@richarddi34 @alexey_anshakov Polished not perfect, because if your product launch lacks the most important things like: being a good product, promo or presentation video, screenshots, etc. You will learn exactly that you needed those, instead of learning far more important things about your product.

Answer

Be active and build your network

Kunal Mehta · Answer

Focus on building genuine connections with the Product Hunt community. Engage in meaningful conversations, offer valuable insights, and provide constructive feedback to other products. Authenticity and active participation will help you gain visibility and support for your edtech app.

be brave and confident enough to share any idea
get connected with fellows here

Answer

Great question Alex.

I'd say the most important advice would be

- Dive into creating connections with community members, start by providing value by helping out other community members launching.

- Create connections via LinkedIn

@alexey_anshakov if you spend time on PH , you’re more likely to get to know about new tools and apps. But if you spend the same about of time on Instagram, Facebook or tik tok , you won’t gain anything.

Rahul · Answer

Good job Alex, coming to PH. PH would be more productive than any social media platform. And I’d say focus more on exploring new tools rather than just upvoting and commenting.

Alexey Anshakov · Answer

@therahulv I don't use any of the ones listed either because I also consider them useless. But the idea is clear.

>Authenticity and active participation will help you gain visibility and support for your edtech app.
Do you already have such experience, or are you only assuming that it will be like that?

Alexey Anshakov · Answer

@richarddi34 I recently received an opposite advice, that says do not to wait until it's polished. And release multiple times, every six months. 
What do you think?

Alexey Anshakov · Answer

@emmanuelonuoha Thanks. Is the significant part of your Ln contacts helping you on Product Hunt?
