Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @tijogaucher  If the product reflect the problem of the founder, it is better to present it, esp. also from the foudners perspective (he/she is more passionate about the topic) and you feel that vibe :) Comment from Jeffery(@new_user___1102026a5df18af33327f5c): Fr, it s wild how stans don't even care if a product is mid. They ll buy anything just 'cause their fave is the face of the brand ... ... brand layer at all. The brand is the category.

... founders about why they don't post on LinkedIn. Almost all of them say "I don't have time" at first. But when I dig deeper, that's not really it. They'll spend 30 minutes scrolling Twitter, or an hour in a useless meeting, but they say they can't write one LinkedIn post? The real problem: They haven't defined their personal brand or locked in their content strategy for the long run. They don't have clarity ... ... what that something should be, and close the tab. It's not a time problem. It's a clarity problem. The founders who post consistently are not disciplined or better writers. They just figured out their 3-4 core topics

... your product. Can you share a link? P.S. Good luck. Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic, Nika! This is the biggest nightmare for makers who launch products on Product Hunt. In many cases, they end up completely rejecting Product Hunt. They stop launching. They start hating the platform. Which is childish. It s like stopping posting on LinkedIn or Twitter

... robert_vassov  The point about new income streams morphing into new control nodes is also a real concern, especially when identity and biometrics get involved. Thanks for bringing a bit of storytelling and humor into an otherwise heavy topic. :D Comment from Rohan Chaubey(@rohanrecommends): @daniel_dorne  Maybe that's what happens when the social platforms want to become governments of the world virtually :D Comment from Rohan Chaubey(@rohanrecommends): @busmark_w_nika  I second you, hence ... ... sure how many users would opt for it and it feels current verification system is catching up. Comment from Zackary Goncz(@zackary_goncz): No I would not. Plus, it is not necessary with reddit. They have moderators. Facebook or twitter

... love to learn from everyone s experience. Comment from Joe(@rolodexter): Yes, trust compounds. No, that doesn t mean tweeting your feelings is a substitute for distribution, differentiation, or actual traction. Comment from Sonia Sarao(@soniasarao_): Good topic/thread. Pretty much the same story except, was dormant while building the product. Now, slowly starting to engage again. It was always true but given the state of AI acceleration, you are absolutely right and insightful (earlier in realization than most ... ... product launch and so far, I like the UX and discourse. I am mostly on X. Other social media just doesn't work for me. Comment from Itohan Eigbadon(@itohan_blessing_eigbadon): For me, storytelling changed everything. I use Twitter

My main headache with auth/permissions was trusting Lovable to do it well. Those topics

... check product hunt after breakfast though. Every day. And in the afternoons I browse the forums. Comment from AJ(@build_with_aj): @busmark_w_nika   I should make my own twitter feed as a browser extension, one with an algorithm that blends chronological posts and posts in topics

... News in the tech world gets old quickly. It's no longer relevant in 10 minutes. What helps you quickly navigate the world of AI? I caught the latest news about AI from: trend topics in the Bluesky or X feed . (Eg. Amazon Layoffs ) or from Product Hunt forums ( @fmerian posted today about OpenAI just acqui-hire Cline ) or larger media , such as TechCrunch The Information Wired Yesterday discovered this AI subreddit   Codex HackerNews What other sources would ... ... Apologies for responding so late every one. Our launch is on going and it's been a really long day. Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): If we re talking about AI, for me there are only two reliable options. Twitter/X

... Late-night lobbies, MMOs instead of homework, friendships formed over voice chat rather than irl. The internet wasn t a hobby; it was where my social life happened. Then came forums. Long threads, pointless arguments, deep dives into obscure topics. Hours spent reading, replying, and watching ideas evolve in public. That era shaped how I think more than any classroom ever did. Eventually, I drifted into crypto. Not because I was particularly insightful- just online enough to encounter it early ... ... emergent behavior, take a look. Watch the agents. See what they re saying. Soon it will be live (and free) And I genuinely don t know where it goes. That s kind of the point. Thanks for reading :-) //plank1234567 twitter

... talking about hunters, it s the same logic. Open PH archive and see who the hunters were over the last 30 days. You can immediately identify around 10 active names and reach out to them on Twitter or LinkedIn. Comment from Igor Lysenko(@ixord): The ProductHunt community can absolutely help with a launch.

... most massive, in-your-face marketing campaigns for you in 2025? Comment from Tony Hsieh(@tony_hsieh2): For me, it was Cursor (or maybe Lovable, they blur together). Not necessarily through traditional banner ads, but the "influencer" and Twitter/X rotation was insane this year. You couldn't scroll for five minutes without someone claiming it wrote their entire startup backend in 30 seconds. It felt organic at first, but by mid-2025 it felt like a coordinated blitz. Hard ... ... people didn't perceive them as the strong competition) :D Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): @tetianai  we re not talking about ads in the traditional sense here.

... been doing a lot of pitching recently. I went to Web Summit where I got pitched at a lot. And my LinkedIn inbox is non-stop infinity loops of pitching at me. = Therefore, I've been thinking about the topic a lot! I think it's fair and obvious to say, some people can communicate better than others. It's an art. I can't dance either, it's just life. The shame is that some brilliant products seem ... ... abstracted behind jargon and bad comms. I started my career in tech PR when you had to call busy tech journalists and pitch your story - you learn fast how to be clear and succinct, or risk getting $hitposted on Twitter

So we built BlogBowl to make the whole process simple. 1 You just: add your website link get topic ideas automatically (or add your own) generate articles instantly or let them publish on autopilot 2 Each article goes through dozens of steps behind the scenes: finding a matching YouTube video collecting citations & stats generating images or screenshots adding tables ... ... personal walkthrough: Book a demo with me: https://www.blogbowl.io/contact Thanks Again Seriously - thank you for being part of this early chapter.

... industries and markets, insights you can adapt to your own field. That s how you truly stand out. Personally, I m a huge fan of JK. Molina . He started out as a virtual assistant, then became a ghostwriter on Twitter, later co-founded TweetHunter , exited the startup (they sold it for $1.4M), and now runs his own business coaching practice. With just one virtual assistant, he s making over $100K and he s only 25. His advice is always ... ... networking hub for entrepreneurs. He shares some truly inspiring lessons.

... helps one another. Comment from Bal Balaji(@bal_balaji): I was given to understand that success on PH is based on whether the internal PH Team promotes you or not. Is that true? Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic, Nika! One of my absolute favorites. (Or at least for today!) :lol: Since you know I constantly connect with (and get contacted by) different Product Hunt users, I ll share some of my favorite methods: Be active in the forum ... ... normal, human message introducing yourself. It s not scary. Most people respond very positively. X/Reddit and LinkedIn communities. Here are some of the subreddits and X communities with a lot of Product Hunt users (indie hackers, startup founders): Twitter/X

... chrismessina   @fmerian   @byalexai  This comment is so on point! I always hated seeing people write one word comments on Instagram posts, etc. Basically zero value. I see a lot of talk on this site about Twitter/X- how valuable do you think that is? I would love to avoid that platform if possible- very active on LinkedIn already. :) Comment from Sohan Patil(@sohan_patil): Hey Nika, I have a question: why am I unable to post on forums ... ... contribute something. If you can write the most insightful, valuable comment you possibly can. Yes, yes, yes it takes time. And AI can spit something out in 10 seconds. But not what you uniquely can say on the topic

... curious how people actually do it. There are tons of stories about founders launching SaaS products without an existing audience. No Twitter following, no newsletter, no community, nothing. Yet some still manage to get early traction and even hit real MRR. If you have started from zero, I would love to hear: How you got your first users What channels brought the earliest traction Whether cold outreach works or not If content played a role or if you focused mainly ... ... definitely the thing I wish I did first time around, and it s what I m focusing on now. Again, not just networking, but creating a community of potential customers/users where people get to discuss a variety of topics

... difficult to find time while building product. But im trying to post something every free minute I have. I don't think I spend more than 30-60 minutes a day. Best for me is Threads, Reddit, TikTok. Twitter can't give me even 1% of what treads give for same posts. And I just joined PH so now I will spend some time here also. Comment from Alex Cloudstar(@alexcloudstar): Solo here. LinkedIn for reach, X for signal ... ... than spend 3 hours trying to look active online. Comment from Katie(@parentformfiller): Finding this really insightful - I was spending 2-3hs a day pre launch but not getting much out of it. We have a pretty dry topic

... tired of spending hours on Twitter threads that might flop. You know the feeling, right? So I built Twitmatic - it turns any idea into engaging Twitter/Threads
