I ve mentioned several times that I see Product Hunt as a social platform, and I can say that over the past almost 3 years, it has helped me in several ways, for example:

Meeting founders and finding a community where I feel among ambitious people
Getting first access to innovative tech products
Gaining publicity being regularly present made me more visible

So how can all of this be converted into increased credibility?

Whenever I m about to buy something (especially something more expensive), I can be easily influenced by recommendations from people I trust and know. That might be well-known accounts on X or suggestions from friends.

Or, I go and read the reviews.

I've been in social media marketing for nearly five years, but with AI advancing, I suspect my role in ad setup may soon become unnecessary.

I used to set up promo campaigns manually using native platform tools (which already applied some AI, like automated texts or ad placement, viz. Facebook Business Manager).
