During the week, I receive a lot of questions about Product Hunt, and some of them are very frequent. I thought I would post the most frequent ones here, and a possible answer to them.
Is it worth having a hunter?
If the hunter has a large follower base, a strong community, and a good reputation (and your product is also good, i.e. it will be featured): YES, IT IS WORTH HAVING A HUNTER. It will multiply your visibility and success
Remember when products designed for consumers unexpectedly revolutionized how businesses operate? For example, Discord started as a chat app for gamers but is now essential for remote teams.
Its journey from gaming-focused platform to business tool is fascinating:
Originally built for gamers needing low-latency communication
Features like server organization, voice channels, and role permissions were perfect for gaming
Discord thrived during the pandemic as businesses discovered its community-building strengths worked brilliantly for remote collaboration
Now powers everything from customer communities to virtual events

What do you automate?
What do you ignore?
