thanks for sharing! I am wondering if the community are all product builders ?

@mave99a I don't think so - based on what I've seen on PH, there are a lot of people here to discover new tools.

@gigi_dam indeed, our product Aistro just launched, and I see many comments... they are actually try and use our product!

@mave99a Just checked it out! Cool use of AI - I've shared it with a friend that is really into astrology.

Great thread. I've been in business since 2009, and I'm happy to share advice with fellow founders. I am not experienced with Product Hunt though so I could use some advice on that!

Take the conversation of off Product Hunt. Currently, PH doesn't offer any type of connecting/friending people nor chatting 1:1. I personally connect with people on LinkedIn and take the conversation from there.

Yes thats true

Appreciate this tip! I'm new myself, so this helps. Product hunt seems like a relatively small but tight community– do others have the same impression or is it just me?

Great Tip @timcha Thanks for sharing. I've been with the community for a few months now. Most of the top products that I see have reached out to me to check the products. Reaching out is definitely encouraged in the community. We're all one! :)

It's as much about you as it is about your product.

Engaging in conversations with the community is key. It makes personalities behind the team visible and allows you to collect valuable feedback.

Be kind and give back to the ProductHunt community, and you'll reap the rewards it has to offer. Working both ways is the key to success. 🤗

Take a look at other products and recent launches to get a better idea of the current market, what’s hot and what’s missing!
Artur Romanov
@veronikabutrim Very true, especially in the world of 90% of the products being ChatGPT wrappers!

Engage with people and projects with the intent of learning new things. There are tons of products that all the founders can learn from. And another tip is to never miss out of the discussion. They are always valuable.

I totally agree, community is key.
