Do you prepare your PH discussion content in advance? (My take on it)

Question

Do you post purposefully?

TBH, I have some topics on the paper (like keywords or sentences outlining what the discussion could be about) but rarely prepare full posts. – which is not the best thing because you can find yourself under pressure then trying to make up something at the last minute. The outcome can be poor.

❗️The exception is when I travel – then I know that the conditions will be uncertain, so I prepare something for the same number of days I am abroad + 2 to 3 posts more, for sure. I won't necessarily use it though.

What about you? 
Do you prepare your content for PH discussions?

Same here.

I have a list of topics but never prepare in advance. But should, to avoid pressure ! 😅

@toni_pm @dan_o_malley Yes, it can be useful when I am totally off and run out of ideas.

I have only posted once, and it was quite last minute, now that I think about it, it should have been prepared 🙃

Dan O'Malley · Answer

@toni_pm At least you have a list of topics! That's a good start.

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

@manpreet_singh5 It depends if you consider PH as your "main platform". If your goal is to grow, I would recommend having a more strategic approach. .) you will see what fits for you.

@moumen_hamid Interaction is easy when you will find there is a "funny part" for you. You can for example review dev products and give recommendations (I think people will appreciate it as they can build a better product thanks to your feedback). And all in all... you are now socialising. Keep going and welcome to PH! :)

Moumen Hamid · Answer

I am new to PH and I honestly haven’t got a clue!
I know that I need to be interactive in the community but my dev brain fails to socialize.

Can you provide any tips or suggestions to get started?

Emily Willis · Answer

Me too! I prefer spontaneous posts! But planning ahead when travelling is a good idea.

Answer

i brainstorm a list of topics i want to post discussions on- but never curate it all the way. Maybe i should- but i like that it is more authentic this way!

Moumen Hamid · Answer

Thank you @busmark_w_nika for the advice and the encouragement!

@toni_pm YES! I have a single Trello card for that but it is not touched :D

@busmark_w_nika thanks

This is my first launch (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), and honestly, it's been quite spontaneous. I think for the next one, I could do a hybrid as you recommend.

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

@my3_murthy You may try a hybrid approach. 20% of prepared, 80% spontaneous. :)
