Very nice 🎉! I will add 4. Be kind and supportive, but don’t be afraid to say what you really think.
@sentry_co Yep 🤣.I am so kind but I'll put anyone on the grill when needed. Happy to hop on one myself too though 😉. Maybe I should add #5. If you can give honest and constructive criticism, you should be open to taking it from others too!
@simona_o_neill3 I usually open with a compliment, then spend the next part grilling like there is no tomorrow 🔥 (then end with re-iterating the compliment, people only remember the first and the last bits anyway) I dunno who said it but, negative feedback should be surface level, positive should be deep. I dunno if it's the way todo it, but could be useful in some cases. what do you think?
I think I have about 25 followers. I will keep providing value and support other's products!
Also, agreeing 100% don't use chatgpt to write comments. It reads like chatgpt, and it is always super generic.
@dylancm We are launching Jobsolv on March 16th! 1-Click job search. Automated resume tailoring and apply! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
Totally agree. Sure, it takes some time, but the result is much more meaningful. This isn't just about gaining followers on Product Hunt; it's about how we approach business in general. When we look at users, seeing them first and foremost as individuals with their own personalities and interests, we open the door to connections, not just an increase in follower count.
Through Product Hunt I've actually met several amazing friends. So, if you're into open source, Vue.js development, marketing, or improving productivity, I'd be thrilled to connect and possibly make new friends ❤️
@zvenigorodskaia I have some questions. I'll DM you tomorrow, I have to finish some code atm, open source actually.
Thanks for these insights, appreciate the timing of your post as I'm getting started with PH
"Don't use chat-gpt to write comments" - i wish more ppl read it. not only for PH but Twitter/Reddit/LI etc.
@russ_halilov I can understand it if English is not your native language. But TBH id prefer bad English over ChatGPT lingo 😂
Launching soon!
yea just to piggy back on the #3 don't - I think the more you write as a person (not a robot) - the more people will resonate with you/your brand etc. In today's world - I think hyper technical speak / overly complex language is no longer valuable - get to the point and provide value in as few words as possible.
I like the message about not using ChatGPT...I used to use AI to engage with other people on platforms, but that often just tends to make it far less genuine than normal.
1200 followers is super cool! How long did it take you to build that audience?
woohoo! 🥂
love your do's and don'ts
especially about writing from your heart and being helpful
Launching soon!
Congrats!
I guess you missed one: to subscribe to other people (I see you have 1214 subscribers and 780 subscriptions). As a disclaimer: I don't see anything bad in that practice
And totally agree about GPT
upd: after your comment below, I would rewrite it to “follow other interesting people”
@nadiaaesty i dont thinkpump and dump works. If I see a bad ratio, i dont follow back. Needs to be Even steven or posetive IMO.
Love the point of dont write 5 word congratulation.
As a maker, of course I appreciate any upvote, or comment to my product.
But the whole idea of launching product on PH is receiving feedback to make the product better.
