5 things that make you a better member of the Product Hunt community β€οΈ
Business Marketing with Nika

I think that this does not apply to the Product Hunt only (Thank god), but to other platforms and maybe even to real life.
1. Give genuine feedback
Be kind, don't be a jerk. Be aware that some of us are beginners and you cannot compare someone's Chapter 1 to another's Chapter 20. People will cherish it if you give them good-meant advice thanks to them they can improve.
2. Support
Upvote and comment not only because someone begged you in LinkedIn DMs. Be proactive in searching for products, give them their vote and when the product is useful and affordable for you, consider purchasing. Many people were devastated when they were not featured. The truth is, that the products I bought from PH were in the non-featured section.
3. Share knowledge
You can be good at something and have expertise in a certain field. The same applies to other members of the community. When we all share something, we can enrich and learn from each other. I call it Mutual knowledge transfer.
4. Connect with people
Not only in the meaning that you are connecting with someone from PH on LinkedIn or Twitter but also in recommending other people useful contacts you bumped into. Networking.
5. Ask this question
βHow can I help you?" I noticed how this question at the end of our calls created many strong bonds. People who ask for help directly can feel hurt sometimes so they do not ask, they do not progress. Help them to overcome this barrier and ask them. It turns out that in most cases they will also want to help you.
Maybe I forgot about something. Do you want to add your findings? Please, do it. ππ

@haiqa_irfan : Try to give a credit. If you come across an idea or inspiration from Product Hunt that influences your work or projects, acknowledge and give credit to the creators.
@vertikanigam : Report bots to PH support and respond to comments on your discussions as much as possible

6. Report the bots π
Share
@busmark_w_nika Im surprised that someone hasn't made a "bot blocker" chrome plugin. Should be pretty easy to make as these bots always use the same GPT dictionary words that sticks out. "Certainly", "Intriguing", "I find it interesting", "I appreciate" π

You have covered all the key aspects to keep the community engaged and high-spirited. However, I would like one more point to add:
Reciprocate: As you expect others to help you during your launches, you should be equally ready and willing to support the launches of other founders. Your likes and constructive feedback supercharge makers' spirits and make them feel elevated.
Good list but this can definitely be used in general as well.
Would also add β give human comments, not AI BS

True! I love the last point. Usually, people ask this at the beginning of the call without knowing the situation. Asking it at the end feels like you actually care. Thanks for the tips, Nika!
Launching soon!
also, reviews can help!
Great points, Nika! I totally agree, especially on the power of genuine feedback and supporting others. It's amazing how much we can all learn and grow together. Also, networking and helping others out can really make a difference. Thanks for sharing these insights! π
By the way, super excited for the launch of SEOPro later this month!

This is a great list; thanks for sharing, Nika! The only thing I'd add is that we could encourage each other to be grateful and thank others for the support they provide in our PH journey.
Agree with this, i appreciate you sharing your thoughts and ideas with the community
Great post, Nika! I totally agree with your points. Giving genuine feedback, supporting others, sharing knowledge, connecting with people, and asking "How can I help you?" are all essential. These principles apply to any community. For more insights and resources, visit here https://paxitracking.com. What do you think? Any other tips to share?
Great advice! A few other things I would add: 6. Celebrate others' successes - Like, comment on, and share cool products and milestones from other makers. Spread positivity! 7. Contribute your expertise - Share your knowledge and experience by writing posts, starting discussions, and answering questions to help other makers learn and grow. 8. Keep an open mind - Be receptive to new ideas and perspectives. You never know what might inspire your next project or solution to a challenge you're facing. 9. Give back - As you find success, look for ways to give back to the PH community, whether by mentoring new makers, open sourcing code, or supporting causes that uplift underrepresented founders. 10. Have fun! - Remember to enjoy the journey and not take yourself too seriously. Celebrate the wins, learn from the setbacks, and keep hunting!
