One of the key tips I know is to build a community around your project before launch.
@david_sipos do you have any tips for community building? Do you mean building it in PH or just outside?

@david_sipos I'm also interested in this. Can you share some tips for community building? Thank you :)

@nuno_ms_reis I think both. Here you have to be active, start interesting discussions. And not only you, your team too. You can gain followers, and when you send a cold message them, they will remember your face. Outside of PH you can start cold messages and tell people when will you launch. Show them your project.
@david_sipos Ok so more than starting a community from scratch it's about building the connections and network that might be interested in what you are doing in the future right?
Do you think building an actual external community around your product would benefit you, or just on the long term?
And thank you so much for the answer :D
Hello David, as you mentioned having a community is the number one factor.
Some people also reached me via twitter and LinkedIn messages to kindly remind me of their launch too. I think it helps. Because even though there are many products people really like, people may forget. So reminding and outreach helps too
@ardadiker Amazing timing, because I just got one of such reminders today :D that's proof of value already

@ardadiker @david_sipos it will be helpful for me as well.
@ardadiker These were products you were already following somehow or was it cold messaging you? Thanks for sharing :)
@nuno_ms_reis, hello, people do cold messaging. But even though you have a committed community, you need to remind them.

@ardadiker thank you for sharing it
Reach out to genuine PH users, instead of relying on new users or paid bots. PH users will curiously check out your product and a lot of them will comment on your landing page too

Good question! Have the same one 😊 And also think that community plays a key role here. By the way, where do you build a community for your product?

@oxana_ivanova I started to build a LinkedIn PH community: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/...

@david_sipos I've already there 👍 thanks for creating it! as for the Ship page - yeah. But I've created an Upcoming page, it seems to have pretty much the same functionality (see on my example https://www.producthunt.com/prod...). Hope that helps!

@oxana_ivanova I think PH Ship was a great place sadly it's not available now
building a community is the path to success is every business, especially when you're just starting

interesting topic here. i'll look forward to reading more replies and insights. thanks!
This is a great question, I’m guessing that there is no “secret sauce” but with most communities you build its based on the value you provide. What’s the benefit to a person that would join. When you think along those lines, you’re one step closer.
