Do you launch your product in other directories besides Product Hunt as well? What's the strategy?

So far, I ve come across three types of people:

  1. Those who focus entirely on their Product Hunt launch.

  2. Those who spread their launches out over time for example, launching on other platforms throughout the month.

  3. Those who launch everywhere on the same day which, in my opinion, would be suicide. :D

What s your launch strategy?

If you re launching on multiple platforms, what do you do first?

How to build relationships with influencers when you want to promote your product?

This is more of a feedback for marketers who are trying to establish contact with bigger influencers.

Thanks to my experience from "both sides", I noticed certain patterns that could work better and satisfaction would be on both sides. :)

Will HR positions survive the rise of AI?

I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:

  • vacation requests

  • onboarding new employees

  • payroll information and attendance records

  • benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions

Results of AI implementation at IBM

  • 94% of the HR agenda is automated

  • Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated

  • $3.5 billion saved

  • 40% drop in HR costs

IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.

What was your most expensive business or marketing mistake? Story time.

When I think about my most expensive marketing mistake, I don t really measure it in money, but rather in time.

About 7 years ago, I was thinking about creating content and had to decide whether I wanted to create for the Slovak market or for an international audience.

Creative feedback is a PROBLEM! How are people handling it?

I run multi-client creative work (video, ad scripts, photography) and feedback always ends up scattered across WhatsApp, email, and Figma comments. Half the time nobody's sure which version actually got approved.
Curious how others handle this, especially freelancers and small agencies juggling several clients at once.
Is your bottleneck getting clear feedback, keeping versions straight, or something else entirely?
