We all have a million business ideas. But there really isn't a great place to brainstorm the pros and cons of them with other Entrepreneurs and product people. If you post on Reddit, you're going to get buried with downvotes. That's why we created AYI discussions. It's a place specifically dedicated to discussing business ideas. You can post your own ideas in order to get feedback,...

I'm not sure if this is a unique insight, but I realized that, broadly speaking, there are two types of people in the maker community. Type 1: "The Idea Guy" - This guy has hundreds of domains sitting in his various registrar accounts. Each one was bought for a specific project that he wanted to work on. Most never end up being touched. Type 2: "The Execution Guy" - This guy wants to start a...

Hey Product Hunters! There is one main problem that our company addresses. The problem of coming up with and validating, an idea for a business. We believe that the idea is the foundation of a strong business, and can be the deciding factor in your success or failure as an enterprise. So, we have spent months developing ways to help our customers brainstorm ideas, validate them, and then...

They are usually very secretive with what exactly each Core update does. With that said, the last on (December Google Core Update) came out earlier this month, and should finish rolling out within the next week.

Congrats! How does this compare to some of your huge competitors like Datamaran?

The problem with Reddit meets MTV is that I have literally no idea what it means. You're on the right track that you want people to be intrigued and click, but if I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, I'll have no reason to click. What could be described as reddit meets MTV: YouTube Music Forums Spotify w/ Comments Livestreaming for Musicians

Your tagline, comment, and images need to be on point. Icon just needs to be tangentially related and eye-catching. Use colors that grab the attention (orange, yellow, high contrast, etc.). The most important thing is to respond to every single comment. For every organic comment you get, you can increase your comment counter by 2 by adding your own reply. Finally, make sure you have a decent...

Hey guys! 👋👋 I had an issue. I had about 2 dozen ideas, and neither the time nor energy to actually validate them. My partner and I came up with a decent idea. We would create a simple landing page for each idea with a poll just asking "Are You Interested? Yes / No". We started validating like this and got awesome feedback on our ideas. But there was still a problem. We couldn't find a good...

I have made 3 separate products specifically for myself. Although the third just entered the open beta, the first two had the same result: There weren't enough other people who needed the same product. The trick is to make a product for a problem that you and others both have. Then, get insight and feedback from members of that community as you build, so that you know you're building for an...

Shared hosting is generally not going to be able to handle any traffic if you have a successful launch. At the very least, you should be using a managed VPS. Personally, I'd recommend either AWS or Digital Ocean so that you can easily scale based on traffic.

Hey guys! I'm super excited to announce my 🎉 first major solo project, Newsletterfy! 🎉 💌 What is Newsletterfy? Newsletterfy is a super-simple embeddable newsletter signup form that automatically adds subscribers to your MailChimp, Constant Contact, or ConvertKit list. Newsletterfy started as an in-house solution. Every time I made a quick no-code or custom-coded site, I would want to add a...

If I understand what you're asking, most products posted here are either posted by the creators, or the creators reach out to the "Hunter" who will hunt it for them. Very few people actually find out about a product theyre not affiliate with and then post it here.
