Well for this community I wrote this guide if you're interested:  https://maxwellcdavis.com/how-to-increase-followers-on-product-hunt/

But the main thing is to engage - really engage.  I think as a rule that goes for all platforms.  Don't just promote and publish.

I've been trying to build up some engagement recently on PH and I think just regular and honest engagement is the only way to do it. I'm not sure there's really a hack for engagement.

Answer

Interesting Topic- So basically I think the most important is to provide that type of content that actually solves from of other people and they actually connect with you and then they can ask you a question related to your content.

Spending time with communities is the most important because from there only you can understand your audience accordingly you can engage with them and work accordingly for the future. The specific time it all depends upon your goals but at least 15-20 minutes daily is good to engage with communities.

@jamie_green1 I spend about 15-30mins a day and I get a nice steady increase- but again it depends on your goals 😀  you could do it quicker if you spent longer!
