-be an active member of the PH community, -shortlist a set of discussions to create around your product's features to get feedback from the community and -pay it forward :)

@uma_venugopal Love the advice. I'm new to PH so strategy is still being worked out. Wish I would've joined much sooner, but happy I did. Good luck on your upcoming Launch, our is approaching soon as well! 🚀

@uma_venugopal I used this approach on PH to drive buzz and it has been very helpful to see the support we've gotten back now that we just launched Careering - The Marketplace for Everyday Professionals to supplement their Salary today for sign-ups. Check it out at TheCareering.com My Co-Founder and I are looking for candid feedback from other Founders and builders as we are first-time Founders. Would love to hear your thoughts on everything from design, flow, idea, our solution, problem, and Marketing.

Start building a community early. Engage on platforms where your target audience is - like IndieHackers, Reddit, or relevant Slack channels. Regular updates and sneak peeks can build anticipation.

@andreac_44 Love this. Funny enough I just left a comment very similar to this here https://www.producthunt.com/disc... I don't have experience with IndieHackers, do you recommend we initiate engagement over there as well in anticipation of our July 17th Launch date?

@andreac_44 Circling back as we gear up to launch our full marketplace next Monday, How do you go about finding relevant slack channels?
