I m pretty sure most founders grow mainly on Twitter. Or LinkedIn.

But I ve realised it really depends on what kind of product you ve built.

If you re a fashion-focused founder, you probably grew up on Instagram or Pinterest.

Social media has evolved a lot.

What started as a way to stay in touch with classmates and friends has turned into something entirely different: a place where everyone, from students to CEOs, is creating content, building audiences, and gaining professional exposure.

I have made a list of platforms where you can create your community and share your knowledge in a closed circle (and in some cases sell memberships).

The list is according to my preferences, so the platforms I use the most are at the top.

SoundCloud went live 18 years ago as a launchpad for independent artists to share their music. Now, it s adding more tools for listeners to share what they re into.

The music streaming app, which ranks above streaming stalwarts Pandora and Apple Music in terms of monthly average users, introduced new social features on Thursday, including:

Where do you regularly post product updates, company news, announcements, etc. Or do you typically publish those through your blog or website or even chat like Slack? I'm using a mix of a few and am curious which one will be the most active. What has your experience been like? Which platforms have you tried/want to try?

We're having some internal discussions about what users would prefer - a wide range of niche products (maybe in more of an app-like ecosystem) - or an all in one platform.
Interested in learning what the community things - primarily folks who use creator tools and publish / sell / create content!
