Recently, I started reading more about digital culture and its impact on society. Just finished Kevin Kelly's seminal essay, 1000 True Fans. In short, Kevin says that to be a successful creator you don t need millions. You don t need millions of dollars or millions of customers, millions of clients or millions of fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor you need only thousands of true fans. All thanks to the INTERNET I welcome your suggestions for my next reading session :)
Hey I am Pablo and currenty working on sigmaOS.com a new productivity browser releasing on product hunt next week. I know that a lot of you have probably tried some form of marketing on facebook/instagram/twitter but people tend to shy away from reddit. I am here to show you my example and how I got 200 users and plenty of feedback compeltely free in a couple days. Here is the link to one of my posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps... For those who are new to reddit here are my tips: 1- Similar to product hunt, reddit is a community and should not just be treated as a marketing paltform. There needs to be genuine interaction 2- Do not make your post sound corporate like. Just be honest and your authentic self and people will appreciate that (there are many good detectives on reddit who will see through you if you are fake) 3- Make sure you find the most relevant subreddit to you. For those who do not know reddit is split into many different forums. For example I am making a MacOS browser, so I posted on r/macapps and r/browsers. It is also important that you tailor your post to the subreddit you are posting to. 4- Make sure to interact with everyone who comments on your post and give them real answers. On the note of comments, make sure to not take some criticism too hard since it is a social media platform after all and there will be some toxicity sometimes. I found reddit to be a great platform to find genuinely interested/interesting people. The ability to target them by subreddits is very valuable and they tend to be quite responsive and active. I hope this helped some of you who may not be familiar with reddit or just had not thought of using it as a way to get traction. This is quite a quick overview so if you have any questions just ask. I have also dealt with reddit ads if you are curious about that. Also if you have some time I would appreciate you guys checking out SigmaOS. We are realeasing next wednesday (feel free to subscribe to get notified here: https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) Hope this helped :)
The start of the week is probably the most important. You plan your whole week, you are well rested after the weekend, therefore, the first days of the week are usually the most productive. Let us know - how do you start your week to keep yourself in the best shape? Btw, we re launching in late May or the beginning of June. Check out our upcoming PH page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/eff...
Our project is called: Effecto. It s an app for detailed habits, health, symptoms, and meds tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.
Happy Star Wars day people. My favorite moment is when the Red Team destroys the Death Star and the fact that we all need to think about securing all the product we build :) What's yours?
Hey, hunters! We all know how intense work can be, and everyone has their ups and downs. It would be very interesting to know what you do to get some rest and find the strength to continue? Share your thoughts in the comments!
I was wondering: how would you change Product Hunt to make it better? Answers can be anything from high level conceptual/strategic things down to feature level or even micro changes like renaming or moving a button. I have a short list of my own & will post after a few comments. Looking forward to what your thoughts are!
You might have heard of a developer that received a 90% response rate when candidating to jobs thanks to a fake CV stuffed with hot keywords (web3, React, Javascript, crypto, NFT). An impressive improvement compared to her "regular" CV that only got 2% reply rate. So, dou you think recruiters still hire according to CVs? Do you think there are any better ways to hire?
Hey everybody, Planning on leaving my hometown for a long while for a nomadic summer-to-winter. I'm thinking of leaving my job's setup at home and taking with me a cheaper, sturdier laptop. I've done remote AWS before while travelling and it was great. I wonder if anybody has experience with remotely connecting to a mac from cheap machines, looking for the best software out there in 2022. Thank you!
This could be something you're doing on the side ontop of normal work / your full-time startup. Mine has been Youtube so far. It's been super fun to make videos and it's taught me video editing. Definitely not the money maker but I've grown big enough that it pays for my phone bill every month now
