A brief Product Hunt guide to growing your community + video

Building a genuine community takes time and strategic steps. The more time and energy you dedicate to a vivid platform, the sooner you'll see results. This applies not only to Product Hunt but to any social network.

In this article, I'll share 8 steps to grow a 5K community on platforms like Product Hunt. I'll be speaking from my experience. At the end is also a YouTube video.

At first, some of you reading this might not be familiar with Product Hunt.

TL;DR:

😼 Product Hunt is a cool place where you can be among the first to discover new or "upcoming-to-market" products. Makers showcase their products and visitors can test them.

It’s been nearly two years since I joined Product Hunt with my account, @busmark_w_nika. During this time, I’ve:

• met amazing people,

• interviewed some (and even met them in real life!),

• discovered time- and cost-saving products, and more.

The 5,000 followers? This is just a side effect of the journey!
Now, I am going to share how I got there.
