How to build a community for your product before pre launch on Product Hunt or Twitter?

Question

As a founder once we launch a product we need some way to tell everyone that the product exists. Obviously creating a community is the best way to get started. What are some ways to get the ball rolling in case of community creation when you have 0 access to a pool of users.

You could try the build in public approach here on Twitter and Indie Hackers

Building a community is super important. Here are some ideas:

1. Reaching out to friends and family 
2. Start engaging in product hunt discussions. If the PH member has socials, try to reach out to them and connect. 
3. Support other people’s launches!!
4. Do a soft launch on the social media platform you have the most followers before PH launch.

Hope this helps

@charlie_lee1 Engagement does make sense as a whole. But when we are finding our community can engagement alone create the community.

Charlie Kor · Answer

I believe that engagement is the key to success.

By leaving comments and providing value to others, you can expect the same in return.
