Tips for a newbie Product Hunt hunter

13
•
Hey everyone. I just joined Product Hunt a few days ago for my product launch. It was a completely different experience than any of my previous campaigns. I learned that instead of reaching out to potential users of the product, I should have reached out to other Product Hunters. Since many of my users did not have a PH account. I'd appreciate it if you could share what worked for you in your launch. Thanks for your responses.

Try to build a community around your product here.

@monty_parin how would you do that?

@denisss Take part into forum discussions. Talk about stuff related to your product.

@monty_parin Understood. Which forum do people usually use to talk about the product here? Sorry, I am not very familiar with how PH works.

Hey Abhilaash, welcome to the community. As @elenat said, try to be more active here and create a community around you (to be distinctive). Support other people, many of them will be thankful and do the same :)

First, boost your account: the more it's boosted, the more 'weight' your personal upvote has. Second, hunters don't guarantee that you'll be in the top. You can do well even without a hunter, and vice versa. So, make sure to check their profiles carefully.

@elenat Understood. How do I boost my account?

Hey, @abhilaash I joined this morning and have a lot of the same questions you asked here, so I was really happy to see this post. I'm curious if you've discovered any more answers about how to build a community and "boost your account" on here to support your product before launch. What is and isn't working for you? Did you find particular forums that were especially helpful? I'd love to help out in supporting you, if there is anything i can do.
