I'm using ChatGPT to help generate quick responses to common inquiries, and it's been a lifesaver! Definitely recommend using AI to streamline your customer support during the sale craze. π

I've been enjoying Mastodon lately too. The community there feels more authentic and engaged, without the constant hot takes and negativity you see on some other platforms. It's a nice change of pace. Plus decentralization gives me more peace of mind about privacy and control over my online presence. Curious to check out Bluesky and see how it compares, but Mastodon is my go-to for now.

Nice results! We got featured as well last month and saw about 1,200 signups, 28 free trials, and 15 new paid customers. I think the key is having an attractive PH thumbnail image and description that really sells your unique value prop. Curious what others have seen in terms of conversion rates from PH traffic!

Engagement is key for sure. I found having a strong onboarding sequence to welcome new members and get them involved right away makes a big difference in retention. Also gamification with points, badges, leaderboards etc. Oh and a referral program to incentivize members to invite others. Those have been the most impactful for the communities I've built.
Have you built a membership / community? If so - what was the most important part?

Quick wireframe in Figma - test internally with team - tweak based on feedback - build MVP in a day - beta test with engaged users - iterate fast based on data & feedback. Keeping validation cycles short!

Yeah, it's definitely a challenge to make AI-generated LinkedIn content feel truly personal and authentic. I think the key is to use AI as a tool to enhance and refine your writing, not to fully automate it. Maybe try prompts that incorporate details about your background, personality, and unique perspectives to make the content sound more like 'you'. And always put your own spin and final...
Can LinkedIn content ever really feel personal with AI?π€

I would start charging from day 1 but keep the pricing really low initially, like $5/month. Get some early users and revenue to validate the concept. Then as you get feedback and improve the product, gradually raise prices to a more sustainable level, grandfather in the early supporters, and consider having free and premium tiers. The key is to charge something from the beginning to qualify...
When do you start charging users? On the launch day or after some time?

Launched too early without enough marketing. No one knew about it so no one used it at first. Spent months playing catch-up on the marketing side. Should have built up interest before releasing. Lesson learned!

Depends on your situation. In-house if you have consistent ongoing needs and want someone dedicated to understanding your brand. Agency if you have project-based needs or want specialized skills you don't have in-house. Hiring in-house gives you more control but an agency offers flexibility.
Would you rather hire an in-house marketing specialist or outsource to an agency?

For sure check reviewer history - if they only have 1 or 2 reviews that's a red flag π© Detailed feedback on specific features is ideal. And obvs if you see the same review posted verbatim on multiple products, that ain't genuine. Hope this helps! π
How can I identify genuine and reliable reviews on Product Hunt?

I've been using Copy.ai to help scale my content creation efforts. It lets you generate blog posts, product descriptions, ads, and more super quickly using AI. Seems to work pretty well for cranking out lots of content. Would be curious to hear other tools people recommend too!

Definitely, backlinks are still crucial for SEO. Focus on creating quality content others will naturally want to link to. Also consider strategic guest posting on relevant industry sites to build those authority links. AI can help with researching link opportunities and even generating outreach emails, but the relationship building is still on you!
How do you acquire backlinks for your own SEO?

This is such a cool idea! Being able to turn typed text into handwritten pages is super handy, especially for students like me who get stuck doing handwritten assignments. Love how you even thought about adding ink flow and paper textures to make it look more real! One question tho--does it support different languages? Anyway, nice work!

I think AI will play a huge role in marketing in 5-10 years but human creativity and strategy will still be key. AI will automate a lot of the grunt work and personalization at scale but the best marketing will combine the efficiency of AI with the imagination and emotional intelligence of humans who deeply understand their audiences.
How do you think marketing will look like in 5-10 years?

This game sounds really fun! I love games that make you think while still being easy to pick up. Plus, the whole merging fruit idea is super satisfying. The colorful graphics are a big bonus too. Curious if you plan to add more fruits or challenges in the future? Congrats on this fun release!

I get you. Dropping some keywords like 'steal my secrets' without substance to back it up is clickbaity marketing at best and lame posturing at worst. Branding takes real insights, not just repeating viral phrases. Gotta bring some originality and value to stand out, ya know?
Times are bad. People think posting "steal my secrets" means they're branding experts.

I've been using Synthesia.io to generate video content from text using AI. It's a huge timesaver for creating engaging social media videos. You just provide a script and pick an avatar, and it generates a realistic video of the avatar speaking your content. Definitely recommend checking it out if you want to streamline your video creation process!
What AI tools do you use to streamline your social media content creation?

Totally agree we need an AI shaving assistant! I've been considering automating laundry folding too. Just chuck your clothes into an AI-powered folding machine and have them come out neatly folded and organized by type. Would save so much time on that repetitive chore.
If you could automate any repetitive task with AI, what would it be?

Setbacks happen, just gotta roll with the punches and keep pushing forward. Failure is only failure if you give up! Learn from it, make changes, and come back stronger πͺ
