HOW TO “PRODUCT HUNT”

Product Hunt - Big Door

If you follow us on any of those online social networking platforms, then you know how much we love Product Hunt . So much so, that we host a monthly Product Hunt meetup to flaunt Utah’s trendiest tech products. Our team at Big Door shares more than PH’s interest in emojis and cat gifs. We too love discovering and highlighting new products in our videos. If you’re late to the show, #WeDoVideo.

Whether you have a product that’s screaming for attention, or you’re just a tech junkie like us, Product Hunt’s platform is an important tool for entrepreneurs. Here are a few #protips to use when navigating producthunt.com :

Sign up.

Explore. Want to find the most upvoted products? Hit * into the search bar.

Bookmark your favorite finds by creating collections. Get inspo’ed by PH‘s featured community collections here.

Join the conversation. Posting and commenting privileges are granted by existing members of the community through an invite system. Ask a neighbor for the hookup. This is when you find out who your real friends are. (Or hit us up on Twitter @bigdoornetwork)

Adding a product. Anyone that has been invited to comment in the Product Hunt community is able to submit products to be upvoted and featured. After logging in, click the “+” button in the top right and submit the product’s URL, name, and tagline.

Start a buzz. After posting a product, add a comment to foster a conversation.

Trying to get your product featured on the home page? The features on the front page are driven by the community. The ranking algorithm takes into account numerous factors, including time since posting and fraudulent voting.

Support. Join a Product Hunt meetup near you. Meetups are a great opportunity to hang out with fellow product-loving enthusiasts in your city.

We hope that you’ll reallocate tonight’s “before-bedtime” social media usage to exploring new products on the Product Hunt app . You can either risk double tapping an ex’s selfie that’s 55 weeks deep or you could geek out on the newest technology. We know where your loyalty lies.
