Hi everyone Would love to hear what you did to get your first paying customers outside of your family and friends group. We re about to roll out our product and I m curious what has worked for you. Thanks for sharing

The extensions I would recommend are - Whatfont: Find the name of any font used on a website - Wordtune : Edit and proofread (this is a paid app, worth every penny) - Toby : Bookmark app - Wappalyzer : Find what tech stack they are using on a website What's your recommendation?

You have signups, but how do you make sure that you have the product-market fit?

We all have parts of our jobs we'd like to automate. What's one thing you would like to get automated in your current job?

What are some unconventional tips and tricks that people might not know? To start, my colleagues and I always check G2.com and Getapp.com to find competitors. By reading the reviews on those sites, you can gain a deeper understanding of your customers. Then we click his/her username to see what other apps he/she is using, and it gives us a clearer picture of their work process Would you mind sharing yours with hunters here?

The recent discussion about AI-generated comments by @kylefrost was really interesting. Some people are concerned that bots will take over online communities and there won't be enough authentic human interaction but instead auto-generated empty conversations between AI and bots. AI technology is impacting a lot of areas, such as creating images, blog posts, webpages, copywriting, and etc. Several features have been very well received and are widely accepted. What are your thoughts on auto-generated emails? Would you say AI can improve the efficiency and value of email communication?

Just few months ago Web3 was trending and now AI. What do you think is next?

As for me, I am trying to find and contact people who grow and respond to comments actively. So, I usually check their followers and threads. (The chance of engagement and long-term contact is higher) What about you?

Recently Elon announced that starting next month only Twitter Blue subscribers will be eligible to be featured in the for you page and vote in polls. Will this convince you to buy Twitter Blue if you haven't already?

Staying productive and motivated throughout the day can be a challenge (especially on a Monday)!

1. Size: ChatGPT is a large language model trained by OpenAI with 175 billion parameters, while Bard is a smaller GPT-3 model with 6 billion parameters. 2. Purpose: ChatGPT is specifically designed for conversational tasks, while Bard is a more general language model capable of generating text in various styles and genres. 3. Availability: ChatGPT is available for public use through various chatbot platforms and APIs, while Bard is currently not publicly accessible and only available to select partners. 4. Training Data: ChatGPT is trained on a diverse range of text data sources, including internet forums and social media, while Bard is trained on a smaller set of curated text data. 5. Performance: Due to its larger size and specific design for conversational tasks, ChatGPT may perform better than Bard for generating human-like conversations, while Bard may be better suited for generating high-quality creative writing. However, their relative performance may depend on the specific task and dataset being used.

Most first time founders will go about coding an MVP and designing flashy LPs, launch and see no one coming to use their tool So here is my advice: First how well do you know that need? Have you spoken with at least 10 of them? Have you asked those customers to pay your software based on your clickable prototype (Figma is your friend here)? Asking for money on a prototype helps settle the debate and we go from that's a great idea to well I wouldn't actually pay for that because of X. So talk to customers and get them to buy before coding anything. You would be amazed at how far you can take a customer down the buying process without having anything that works. When you have validated that customers are actually going to pay for your software you know how to convince them and write a proper LP to sell your product. Make your LP pain focus not feature focus and avoid overwhelming users with too much information! At this point, no ads required yet only things that don't scale. You can start reaching out to your customers with personalized soft sales pitch by email, Linkedin and Twitter. There you can identify your one channel where you're going to build your go to market strategy. This will help you better qualify your ICP and refine your sales pitch.

We've seen a lot of growth in AI comment generators lately  auto-creating comments and replies based on available info. Do you think apps like these are positive or detrimental to community-focused platforms like Product Hunt? Fwiw, we're aware that many folks are already choosing to use these kinds of services on Product Hunt. We're actively working on ways to address it, but I'm curious how our community feels about this type of engagement. Please vote (and explain your thoughts)!

Hey all, we just released a few updates to product hubs with a focus on converting visitors to your website/apps/social, and providing the right information to community members who are researching new products. As an example, here's Notion's product hub: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... (you can access your product hubs in the new sidebar on the homepage) The header was re-focused on driving conversions, followers, and saves. We ve removed upvote counts and focused on reviews + followers on the hub pages; while upvotes are important for launch day, we ve found that they re not necessarily a highly correlated signal for overall product quality, especially for community members researching products months (or years) after a launch. The updated sidebar displays links, product info, and makers more prominently, and the rest of the page has been simplified with an additional focus on reviews (currently sorted by recent, so make sure you re encouraging your community to leave reviews). As always, Product Hunt is in a constant state of change, so let us know what you think about these changes and if you have any suggestions or recommendations moving forward!

What are your must-haves? (workflow management, automation, analysis, AI assistant, editorial calendar...)

1. Growth from 0 to 100 followers I connected with people (in DM) who did the same things as me at that time. As a result, we engaged with each other content. More engagement more impressions more new connections. Also, I added some boosters for a smooth start: active hashtags, tagged tools, and used visual content. If I should start from the beginning once again, I d do the same. 2. Growth from 100 to 1K followers I stayed consistent. Tweeted 1-2 times daily, replied 10-20 times daily, connected with new people, and experimented with new content formats. Yes, it takes time. What helped? Buildinpublic, Growinpublic, and Learninpublic content. You don t need to be a content farm providing educational content 24/7. 3. Growth from 1K to 5K followers I continued being consistent and engaging with followers. The only change - I switched my focus from engaging with big accounts to engaging in my account. 4. Growth from 5K to 13K followers Experiments, experiments, and one more time experiments. At this point, you need to stand out from the accounts in the same niche. The good decision is to add some personal content about your lifestyle, traveling, etc., so that people remember you. Growing your personal brand gives you a lot of opportunities. So, start small, find your audience, experiment, double down on what works, and most importantly - have fun. P.S. I deconstructed my growth from the very beginning in a Notion file.
