Alright, so here are a couple of things that I feel it makes sense to keep in mind. 😉 Do make sure your product is ready for public launch before posting it on ProductHunt. This means it should be polished and have all the necessary features and documentation. Do engage with the community by commenting on other people's posts, voting on products, and asking for feedback on your own product. This will help you build relationships and gain visibility for your product. Don't spam the platform with multiple posts or self-promotion. This is against the rules and will only annoy the community. Don't post your product without providing a clear description and screenshot. This will make it difficult for people to understand what your product does and whether it's something they're interested in. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice. The ProductHunt community is generally very supportive and willing to help new users. So if you have any questions or need guidance, don't hesitate to reach out. Off the top of my head, hopefully it's helpful. 🙂

Do not tell people to follow you in your discussions or comments - never seen anybody do it till today. Very admirable thing about this community I must say 💯 On a product launch page try to give honest feedback and ask questions. Try to give engagement in a way you would want people to give it to you when you introduce your product. Start discussions regularly, it is a very useful way to give yourself exposure.You can use these discussions like an extension of your market research. Not only that but building a product requires a lot more than good ideas. Execution has its own challenges. Speak about how you are facing these challenges and how others are doing the same. Likewise while you comment. Try to add value. Use pleasant language, do not judge. Don't hold back good wishes. What you give to the community will decide what you get from it.
