The questions I get most often about Product Hunt and answers

During the week, I receive a lot of questions about Product Hunt, and some of them are very frequent. I thought I would post the most frequent ones here, and a possible answer to them.

🤔 Is it worth having a hunter?

If the hunter has a large follower base, a strong community, and a good reputation (and your product is also good, i.e. it will be featured): YES, IT IS WORTH HAVING A HUNTER. It will multiply your visibility and success

🤔 Why are my discussion posts not approved?

This question would be better answered by the internal team.

However, possible reasons could be the following:

–You are violating the community and discussion (forum) rules

– You do not have a reputation and an established profile

🤔 How can I ensure my product is featured?

The product should be innovative, useful, and shouldn't be "repeated" on the platform. Try to make it as quality as possible.

These 2 sources can answer the question better: Gabe's Thread & Featuring Guidelines.

🤔 How can I get many, many, many upvotes?

• Have a "strong product", so it will "earn" sympathy through its usefulness.

• Build a strong social media platform presence and announce your next steps, progress, and launch events.

• Build communities across the platforms (and also offline) so you can reach out to your friends without guilt.

• Ask for upvotes for existing users if you have, and ask for feedback from successful makers/founders who could eventually support you.

• Ask new people to register on the platform, educate them on how to create an account, and how to use it (and upvote for you).

• Build the Product Hunt community – check the video in the comments. 🙂

🤔 Will you hunt for my product?

At the moment, I am not hunting products, but I do not exclude this option for the future. There are other ways you can collaborate with me, and those are mentioned in my profile links.

I hope this will help you a bit. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask. :)
