Hey! Joined PH in 2018 but never really used it much. Looking for newcomer tips

by•

I’m a former software engineer at Amazon and worked on Alexa Voice Services for 3 years before leaving and going full time on a startup! Looking for some advice on how to leverage the Product Hunt community

I would suggest to take part in discussions and build the community. It would ultimately help you when you launch something on PH.

@zoe_allen3 Do you have any tips on establishing your personal brand on here? Not sure really where to start. My thoughts are following others (like you) to just see what you're up to and your potential launches. I'd love to contribute to help make launches and features better

Welcome Pierson Marks! I think one of the most important things is persistence, and continued interaction with the community is very important. While it seems like a simple thing to do, I broke off after 15 days of consistency and I'm starting over now. I think if I can stick with it for 100 days, then it will definitely work out

@qiufeng That makes sense. I'm curious though, how does activity help on Product Hunt? Is it to hopefully gain followers for the eventual product launch?

Welcome back Pierson! I'm also an very old member (#85036) who got back to PH and started engaging in discussions & people. It's really fun! I also plan to launch my product on PH next month!

@sitenley do you remember how you originally found the site? Did you have a launch back then?

Engage before you launch.
