currently building a daily newsletter aimed towards people who scroll on social media every morning. instead of waking up to chaotic feeds, how much nicer would it be to learn something cool in <5 minutes before you fully wake up and get out of bed? (quotidianlearning.substack.com) idk if my newsletter has a large audience and if it does, what's the best way to expand my reach?
Hey Product Hunt fam, As an engineer, I steered clear of community and marketing platforms. But after diving into Product Hunt for a few days, I had an epiphany. It's my first, and wow, was I missing out! Question: Engineers and makers, have you had a similar experience? How has stepping into new territory like Product Hunt transformed your perspective? Share your thoughts!
1. There are 2 types of virality:
- Viral posts that bring a lot of new followers + 0 customers.
- Viral posts that bring followers + customers.
If you want #2, your posts should be very relevant to your business. 2. Any format can go viral. Some formats have more potential. Useful infographics, free templates, practical thought leadership, carousels with examples, memes, and funny videos are the most popular right now. 3. You can't control virality. Based on my experience, I can tell you whether a post has the potential to go viral or not. But virality depends on too many factors. Nobody can say 100%. 4. You can grow your audience and be profitable without virality. 5. Virality is a byproduct of consistency and analyzing what works/ what doesn't. 6. No need to respond to all comments under viral posts. 7. The same post can go viral and get 10 likes. 8. I love viral posts because I can stop posting and rest :) 9. Most times, the next post (after your viral post) gets low engagement.
- I'm a B2B tech/SaaS marketer. Organic LinkedIn is the best channel for me. - For my enterprise clients, the best channels are personal founders' network, organic LinkedIn, visiting podcasts/conferences, and different partnerships. - For clients with cheap B2B products, the best channels are LinkedIn, building in public on X, integrations with other tools, and free side tools/templates. What about you?
Hi everyone, I've been an active part of this community for a long time (no joke, you can check the streak page ) So why do we love Product Hunt so much? I would like to summarize the reasons that come to my mind, and please share yours as well. Last Thursday, we launched Free Keyword Generator (https://adsby.co/free-keyword-ge...), which is a side project of our new brand Adsby, and it became the product of the day. If I were to summarize what contributions this community had during this launch: - Visitors from 103 different countries came to our site and tested our product.
- They provided excellent suggestions for improving the product. (There were really great suggestions, some of which we will definitely implement)
- They reported small bugs we hadn't noticed, allowing us to fix them promptly.
- We received over 300 comments, and most of these comments were so inspiring that they provided significant motivation for the new product we are developing (Adsby). In short, thanks to this wonderful community, as product developers, we've seen substantial contributions in terms of feedback and motivation on this challenging journey. On behalf of Adsby, I thank everyone who is part of this community and the PH team.
We're having a small discussion in our office about this. The majority is part of the coffee-empire but a small group of tea-rebels is fiercely defending their opinion. What about you?
