2. Treat your Twitter profile like a product
3. Create a content matrix
4. Mix professional and personal
5. Don't spam with your product
6. Focus on your experience, not on the theory
7. Don't be a copycat

I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"
The job market abruptly ricocheted from a war for talent to layoffs becoming commonplace. All of us are either seeing as first hand or friends. What would you suggest to them? I will be collating the resources based on your comments & suggestions to get them back on the field. Here's something I wrote on Medium in 2020 for your reference - https://medium.com/swlh/how-to-c...
Hey everyone I m Jakob and I m currently working on Butter, which is a video conferencing tool that lets you plan, run and recap super-engaging sessions from one place. We ve launched on Product Hunt twice before, so super grateful to be able to do an AMA here! I previously founded StreamCrux, a game-streaming startup. It failed , but it s where I learned how to run a fully remote company. Ask me anything about building remote companies, product- and community-led growth, facilitation, remote work and the future of collaboration!
Hi everyone Would love to hear what you did to get your first paying customers outside of your family and friends group. We re about to roll out our product and I m curious what has worked for you. Thanks for sharing
Attention PH Community! I'm Noyan and I'm currently working on Decktopus AI, which generates fully designed decks with images, bullet points, forms, ability to audio narrate, and more based on your input! It's time to level up your presentation game and get custom-made presentations based on your presentation's aim and your audience! And the best part? You can try it for yourself on February 23rd when we officially launch on Product Hunt! But before then, let's chat about all things presentations, time-efficiency, productivity, and beyond. I, Noyan, am here to answer any and all of your questions. So fire away!
Hey Product Hunt I m S lim, and I m currently working on Bento - a personal page to share everything you are, create and sell. Think link in bio, but rich and beautiful . I m a serial builder and entrepreneur, founding companies for 10 years by now. I ve launched on Product Hunt twice before, love this place and super happy to be able to do an AMA here! Previously, I founded RosieReality, an augmented-reality company. After five years, we got acquired in 2020. The first employee at RosieReality - Mugeeb - is now my co-founder at Bento. I feel very lucky to be building products with him for the past eight years. For Bento, we have raised a pre-seed from Sequoia - you can read all about it at Bento.me/2022. Our cold start, the first iterations, the pivot, and now our successful launch in December last year. All of it resulted in a huge, and for us, unexpected storm of love! Eight weeks later, there is a global community showcasing themselves and their work on Bento. Ask me anything about building startups, product- and community-led growth, going the VC-backed route, or getting into the Sequoia Arc program!

Hey PH community, what do you guys recommend scaling up SAAS based startups for the first two years? Try getting a seed fund asap or bootstrap until you break even?
What is the one thing you love to do day in and day out? I personally love to check on positive customer feedback and product development. Feel free to add more
We have been gathering product feedback and working tirelessly to introduce new features. All that we have been working on for the last year was building up to this. While this is a good kind of scary milestone, I would love to know the community's thoughts on how to keep yourself sane at this time.
