Great list! Would also recommend adding a link to relevant socials (i.e. personal Twitter or LinkedIn), can help with personal networking and building your individual brand as well.

Very good tip as usual and very big thanks! Looks like I can’t avoid LinkedIn anymore and should update profile and use it
Kirill Grebenjukov
@olenabomko Yeah, I understand. But LinkedIn came through number of your recent discussions, like a kind of red line.

That's unfortunate for those who don't want to link their LinkedIn profiles.

@olenabomko, I currently prefer not to use LinkedIn. It might be a choice I'll reconsider later, but at the moment, I'm not fond of it.

Amazing! Thanks for the tips Olena!

Seems so basic but realized I hadn't done half of these. Thanks!

Why is Linkedin most important? Are majority of Product hunt users on Linkedin over Twitter ?

1. Familiarize Yourself with Product Hunt: Learn the platform's best practices, popular tags, and community culture. Engage in discussions and build relationships with makers and hunters. 2. Craft a Compelling Narrative: Write a clear and concise product description that highlights your unique value proposition, benefits, and target audience. Focus on storytelling and emotional connection. 3. Visuals Matter: Design stunning screenshots, GIFs, and product videos that showcase your product's features and benefits in an engaging way. 4. Gather Social Proof: Secure early user testimonials, press mentions, and influencer endorsements to add credibility and trust.

Follow relevant product hunt topics: https://www.producthunt.com/cate... Those will show as interest on your profile. Be active in the discussion area of Product Hunt, that is the best way to get followers on your profile.

Great tips! In addition to these, I would recommend adding a brief and engaging bio that highlights your expertise and what you bring to the table. Also, having a clear and concise tagline can make your profile stand out. Lastly, don't forget to regularly engage with the Product Hunt community through comments, upvotes, and sharing valuable insights. Happy optimizing!
