Product Hunt is home to countless products and the people who love them. We built Ask to help you make sense of it all. It's an AI assistant that answers your product questions using Product Hunt data, whether you're picking a new tool, comparing alternatives, or seeing what's trending.
If you re reading this post, it s at least 2 weeks old. I m currently away, and in situations like this, it s better to be prepared.
Here s my process that helps me stay (somewhat) consistent even when I m short on time and not available in real time:
Batch-create evergreen content that can be shared anytime, or content tied to a recurring season or trend. (If you find time while travelling, you can still jump on current topics, but be aware, it might distract you from the trip.)
Prepare your content at least 2 weeks before your trip.
Create at least 4 extra posts beyond what you need. For example, if I m travelling for 9 days, I ll prepare 13 posts, just in case something goes wrong or unexpected travel issues come up.
Set a fixed time to respond to comments (e.g. 9 AM), or block out a time window for engagement, so you don t get sucked into it during the day.
Keep a running file of content ideas throughout the year, including brainstorming sessions with ChatGPT. It ll make content selection much easier in the future.
I've been on this platform for over 2 years, and we have to admit that the number of tools that appear here every day is truly unimaginable.
Sometimes it's hard to select the best ones, but I have to say that some that I found a few months or years ago, I still use every day because they are useful to me in some way.
