On product hunt here are my tips from a not-successful account (me):
- Genuine engagement.
- Don't ask for people to support you.
- Be nice.
- Be consistent.
Show up and try to do a bit better each time.
Give yourself permission to screw up and fail.
Hoping this works on all platforms.

When building my community, I primarily utilized a combination of platforms like Twitter, Discord, and a dedicated forum on my website. For my first interactions, I focused on being approachable and genuinely interested in connecting with my audience, whether through engaging in conversations, answering their questions, or providing valuable insights. In terms of problems, I addressed common pain points and challenges that my community faced within our shared interest or industry, offering practical solutions, tips, and support to help them overcome those obstacles.
I use my personal community from Twitter and LinkedIn to promote my new product. I find it to work pretty well!
