By engagement, I mean upvotes, comments, shares basically anything that helps your product get to the top of the voting.

Do you have an overview of which tactics were most effective in this regard?

I was chatting with a Maker recently, and they were a bit unclear on how Product of the Day/Week were chosen, and honestly, I needed a bit of clarity too

Hey there!

A few weeks ago, Nika, a fellow hunter, asked about the countries where doing business is more difficult.

But what are the best ones to start something new?

All of you who are building a personal brand, I guess, keeping up with the onslaught of notifications is not the easiest thing to do. I personally open some notifications after a month (like today on Bluesky, Substack and Twitter), not to mention that I reply to some messages after months. It helps me keep my sanity. But it took me almost 4 hours to handle these today.

On the other hand, I manage ProductHunt and LinkedIn quite regularly.
