Aaa, let's start with the story. When I first joined Product Hunt, I was so excited but also felt completely out of my depth. I remember how overwhelming it was, trying to figure out how to get my product noticed, connect with the community, and navigate the platform. It felt like everyone else had it all figured out, and I was just... lost. 😵
Have you ever felt that way???
Maybe you launched something you poured your heart into, but it didn’t get the attention you hoped for. Or you weren’t sure how to break the ice with other makers here.
I’d love to hear about your journey—your struggles, your breakthroughs, and what you’ve learned along the way.
Let’s make this a space to support each other and help newcomers feel a little less alone.
Um, What’s your story? 😀

minimalist phone: creating folders
We wanted to share the product but didn't know how to present it. So I had to "study" short copy text how to write the most compelling title, 1st commend under the launch etc.

Launching soon!
@shabb_katoch can ask you why?
My biggest challenge was getting visibility and engaging the community. There was a learning curve, but it was so worth it!
As a newbie on Product Hunt, one of the biggest challenges I faced was understanding how to effectively market and present my product. The platform is full of amazing products, so standing out requires strategic planning. Learning how to craft an engaging product description, manage upvotes, and respond to feedback in a timely manner was crucial. Additionally, building an initial network of supporters to help get those early votes was a bit tricky, but once I got the hang of it, the experience became more rewarding.

Wow, Hamza....23 products launched, that's impressive! My journey is just beginning, as our product is still in the development stage. I’m looking forward to learning from experiences like yours to navigate the process and hopefully launch successfully too!

@sonu_goswami2 Thanks Sonu, on which product you are working?
@hamza_afzal_butt We are working on two products, and I will start posting about them soon, before the launch. Stay connected! :)
I learned how vital mindset, mental health, going to the gym, and your personal life is to build a successful company.
Getting my product in front of the right audience seemed impossible at first, but consistency helped.
My greatest obstacle was competing with seasoned hunters and theri sizable fan bases.
