I m Rosie Sherry and I ve been building communities for quite some time! I m here to answer anything and everything I can about community building. Here are some of the things I ve done: - I started back in 2006 with a local Girl Geek Dinner Meetup
- I founded Ministry of Testing, an indie, 7 figure revenue and profitable community of practice for software testers. I handed this community over for someone else to run (I did not sell it).
- I led the community at Indie Hackers for a couple of years
- I started Indiependent, a small community for indie founders where people get kicked for inactivity
- I ve been writing about community at Rosieland (covering community growth, flywheels, Minimum Viable Communities, Community Discovery, and much more!)
- I breathe, eat, sleep community Ask me anything about community, I can cover things like:
- Tools to use, or not
- Community on a budget
- Community as a business
- Minimum Viable Communities
- Community Discovery
- Community Growth & Flywheels
- Building a sustainable community
- Community trends
- Why so many people are getting community wrong! I'll be answering questions on the 7th of September!
1. Brainstorm unique launch ideas (e.g. limited-time offers, exclusive access, etc.)
2. Create visually appealing Product Hunt listing with eye-catching graphics
3. Build excitement in advance of launch through social media, email campaigns, etc.
4. Plan interactive activities for launch day (e.g. Q&A sessions, live demos, etc.)
5. Collaborate with relevant influencers or bloggers to spread the word
6. Personalize outreach to upvoters and commenters
7. Offer incentives for early adopters (e.g. discounts, bonuses, etc.)
8. Collect and analyze feedback from users to continuously improve the product
9. Celebrate the launch with your team and stakeholders. What are some items that you would add to this checklist? Share your must-have items and tips for a successful Product Hunt launch!
