Hello everyone! As someone relatively new to the community, I've been blown away by the creativity and drive of fellow makers. I'm eager to connect and build friendships with like-minded individuals who share my passion for building and making an impact. I'm curious to hear about your experiences connecting with other makers. How have you successfully made friends in the community, and what strategies or approaches do you recommend for someone new and looking to build meaningful relationships?

Hi everyone What was the one thing that made your start building your product or service? Thanks for sharing!

Hi there, my name is Kate, I'm a Product Owner (a.k.a mommy) of the fresh-launched asset management tool AssetSpace For almost a year, I'm wearing a visioner's, manager's, owner's, designer's, QA's, marketologist's and a lot of other hats while working on product. Ask me anything!

I've tried using tools that automatically take notes during my Zoom/Google Meet calls, but none of them have stuck. A full transcription is overkill and summaries often miss the most important points. Additional context: Most of my calls are fundraising-related conversations with founders. I would prefer NOT to have a "bot" join a call and ideally the notes could automatically be shared in a specific Slack channel with my team. I'm curious what tools people are using and for what use cases. I'd appreciate any recommendations. :)

Almost everyone mentions Twitter as the best channel for growing an audience Twitter is my favorite social channel. This is because I can communicate with my niche easily compared to other channels. What's your preferred channel?

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.
