I'm working on something fun for Product Hunt Meetups around the world in January 2020. If you'd like to host or join a meetup in your city please fill out this survey which only has three questions so I can start connecting you with other makers close by. Here is the survey. Thanks
My name is Bertha, I hail from Johannesburg in South Africa. I initially started my career as an Engineer, I had been doing it for over 15years when I decided to completely switch careers and start programming and coding. I am completely self-taught from online courses, programs, and on-the-job training. With that said, the dev house I founded has developed pretty amazing software over the years (in my mind). One of our latest products is Skhokho - https://skhokho.io/ Our Ship, upcoming page can be found here - https://www.producthunt.com/upco... have been learning a lot from this community, I read a lot of threads - trying to figure out how to get the most out of Product Hunt and prepare for a good enough product launch in the next couple of weeks. One of the things that comes out a lot in the discussions is - Building a Community. You hear it all the time - build your community, mailing list, and following. I would like to ask the guys who have been doing it for a long time or guys who have managed to build successful communities - how? How do you start from scratch Which platforms have worked best How do you keep your community engaged What daily, weekly practical steps do you take to actively build your community What worked, what did not work
I always have 100s of browser tabs opened, often many tabs just for the same website. I have tried to stay in control but have failed to do so! I would love to hear the tips from the best web surfers out there.
Maybe it makes my life easy and others find it helpful too. Thanks in advance!
Time management is, in my opinion, one of the biggest challenges, both personally and professionally. What strategies, tools, or tricks have you picked up along the way that proved to be effective?
With so many platforms and amazing content. Every platform works on a better user experience, but still, few are explored. Tell us which platform you enjoy learning on and which domain course you explore? If you opt for "Other", let us know the name of the platform in the replies.
As founders, we're forced to deal with many NOs to get to the YESs once we get a good understanding of our customers. While we do have founders documenting their wins publicly, most of their struggles often go unnoticed. What's your experience dealing with rejections? And how did you emotionally prepare yourselves for this journey as an entrepreneur?
Hi. I had many articles I want to read but didn't had a time. So I decided to consume them while running by converting them into podcasts. Now I wonder if anybody else also needs it and pay for it (My assumption: audiobook and podcast listeners might pay). My first plan was to get a paying customer and interview them to understand them. So I made a LP and started facebook ads. However, I'm struggling to get a paying customer. Eventually, I've been not talking to people and not learning. That's not good. My second plan: I find people who want to listen to web articles and interview them via video call, but I have no idea where I can find them. How would you do if you were in my shoes? Thank you. https://www.getpodrest.com/

I was shocked to find out that so many people in my office are skipping breakfast! I cannot concentrate if I am hangry before lunch. Do you eat breakfast? If so, what do you eat?
