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.

1. There are 2 types of virality: - Viral posts that bring a lot of new followers + 0 customers. - Viral posts that bring followers + customers. If you want #2, your posts should be very relevant to your business. 2. Any format can go viral. Some formats have more potential. Useful infographics, free templates, practical thought leadership, carousels with examples, memes, and funny videos are the most popular right now. 3. You can't control virality. Based on my experience, I can tell you whether a post has the potential to go viral or not. But virality depends on too many factors. Nobody can say 100%. 4. You can grow your audience and be profitable without virality. 5. Virality is a byproduct of consistency and analyzing what works/ what doesn't. 6. No need to respond to all comments under viral posts. 7. The same post can go viral and get 10 likes. 8. I love viral posts because I can stop posting and rest :) 9. Most times, the next post (after your viral post) gets low engagement.
