@Paste just launched their latest version, and tbh I'm considering switching over but I'm curious to hear what other people use? I know @Raycast has a pretty powerful and integrated one that I'm considering using. I currently use @ Pasta which I love. Do folks have any they recommend? What's the consensus?
Throughout the years in marketing, I ve witnessed many different approaches to how people use social media to sell a product (or themselves).
It always depends on the final customer; I can clearly see that companies usually bet on a few things:
their personal brand (often LinkedIn and X, e.g. Levelsio and Marc Lou for B2B, or Instagram in the case of influencers and their products) purely paid ads (across Meta e.g. minimalist phone, where there is almost no organic content) community-driven growth (Discord, Reddit, Facebook groups, Slack communities, etc.)
I guess that when you're pre-revenue, AI tools and the occasional freelancer are often more than enough to get an MVP out the door and test the waters.
But eventually, every growing product hits an inflection point where "good enough" visuals and quick-and-dirty copy start holding back growth. To build real authority and category leadership, a curated identity becomes important.
Hey there, Product Hunt community! I'm excited to announce that I've just reached a significant milestone: a 200-day streak on Product Hunt! During this journey, I've explored incredible products and contributed my thoughts and feedback. It's been an incredible experience, and I appreciate the knowledge and relationships I've made. I've gained 1,000 points, yet I'm still going. My new objective? Reaching 2,000 points! I'm up for the challenge and excited to see where this trip takes me. I'm glad of my collection of 17 badges. From interesting remarks to tastemaking, each badge reflects a different facet of my Product Hunt adventure. Speaking of badges, I've had some intriguing ones in mind. I desire to acquire the "Tastemaker 100" badge and am committed to doing so. Furthermore, I'm excited to receive the "Comment Award: LOL" and "Comment Award: Good Find" badges for engaging, amusing, and intelligent remarks to Product Hunt discussions. Through my interactions, I hope to provide value to the community. Let's keep the conversation going! I'd love to connect with you beyond Product Hunt.

Imagine that you are about to join a startup (before raising funds) as a part-time employee. You are paid for work (compensation is like in any existing, well-established company in the industry, but you do not have regular employee benefits covering 401 plan, no equity, no health care plan, HO equipment fee, etc.)
You hope that after raising funds, you will become a full-time employee and receive benefits.
I don t mean this in a disrespectful way or anything like that, but throughout my life, I ve come across (and I m sure you have too) several products whose actual usefulness wasn t exactly impressive, but their creators still made a huge amount of money.
For me, for example, it was:
Fidget spinners (2017). At the peak, the global market was estimated at hundreds of millions to over $1 billion.
Metaverse land (2021) valuation could be for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each, with the overall market reaching hundreds of millions during the peak hype cycle. I bought one too. :D (actually was scammed).
Pet Rock (1975) the creator became a millionaire within a few months.

I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?
