How long did you build your community before launching?

Question

Chris Lester · Accepted Answer

I’ve spent 3 months fully dedicated to building community+mvp. I’ve also launched with no real community (1-2 days of building)

Build a personal brand and you always have a community with you!

@chrislester This is very refreshing to read. I am going into this a little blind. I launched today and haven't thought to allocate the time to building the community first. But I have built something personal that I have strong belief in..... now, just need to gather some people here 😅

@chrislester Thank you for the advice! I have been 'off' social media for so long that I needed to reactivate my online self. It's been fun to connect with so many people all over the world. (It's my own first digital product). Would you mind taking a look at my product and share your thoughts? https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@chusana find your tribe and stick with it! Twitter, LinkedIn, PH, etc are goldmines for great connections and community!

I am ashamed to say I can't even tick one of the boxes you provided. We weren't aware at the value of the product hunt community so we built it as we launched in the last 18 or so hours. But now we have the support, I'll be putting in the effort in returning the favour and supporting the community here.

@hariz_maloy1 Appreciate the honesty here. Good products succeed no matter what, so at the end of the day it might not matter. I'll go check out the launch
