Business Marketing with Nika
Discord for some informal meetings but when it comes to social media (Bluesky, X and PH).

@busmark_w_nika thanks for sharing! Have you had any use for a paid or private community or is it mostly for outreach/visibility on the front end for your strategy?
Business Marketing with Nika
@daniel_zeru_apps I am also in private (paid) communities and I can feel how the quality is better comparing to unpaid.
Dan ZeruApps
@busmark_w_nika That is interesting, I am looking at some of the paid community options and seeing how people are using the different platforms so I appreciate the input :)

@daniel_zeru_apps we have also calls so we trust each other more because we can see irl :)

Yes, it seems like active engagement with things like live events, even if it is webinars, or calls like you’re mentioning can really make a big difference in how engaged a community is. Part of why I am asking is due to some product research for an upcoming project our team is working on. Though we haven’t publicly announced it yet, I’m glad to hear some of this feedback as it is helpful to get an idea of what others are doing!

I love PH for its laid-back vibe and variety.

Without a question, Product Hunt. I truly like being a part of the vibrant community that is created by the combination of conversations, new goods, and active makers.

@hassan_ismail_rebe Yes! As a follow up: have you thought about joining/starting any private or paid communities as a part of your marketing strategy? Or is the public interaction the most valuable to you right now?

I interact with creative communities on Instagram through groups and direct messages. It is visually appealing, which appeals to my passion for art and design.

Product Hunt discussions have been great for me so far! I’m also building my own community focused on LinkedIn growth and strategies—creating a space for professionals to connect and share insights. I’d love to share more, if interested.
