Aidem Network aidem.network 💰 + 😀 270 | 271 | On my own behalf 272 | ------ 273 | 274 | Since I am very busy and it can happen from time to time that I don't notice new links, 275 | issues or PRs directly, you can also contact me in another way. 276 | 277 | You're welcome to write me on X (🐦 [de_henne](https://x.com/intent/follow?screen_name=de_henne)) 278 | 279 | 280 | License 281 | ------ 282 | 283 | [![CC0](https://mirrors.creativecommons.org/presskit/buttons/88x31/svg/cc-zero.svg)](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) 284 | 285 | To the extent possible under law, [Henning Leutz]([https://twitter.com/de_henne](https://x.com/intent/follow?screen_name=de_henne)) has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this work. 286 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /assets/engage.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dehenne/awesome-visibility/ef82a8822c33dd84ed721301e7086e6396f95488/assets/engage.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /communities.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Communities 2 | ====== 3 | 4 | Since the topic of Communities is somewhat complicated, I would like to go into a little bit more detail here. 5 | 6 | **NOTE**: Communities should be used with caution. 7 | 8 | 9 | Why are communities complicated? 10 | ------ 11 | 12 | Communities are generally a homogeneous group that have grown together over months or even years. 13 | They are made up of moderators, fans, makers, and all kinds of different people who know each other 14 | and have put in a lot of time and effort to keep the community running. 15 | 16 | Building a community and keeping it alive is one of the most difficult things to do in life. 17 | 18 | Now put yourself in the position of these people when someone comes along as a newbie and simply posts their product / idea. 19 | 20 | How would you feel if you put years of work into a community and someone just wants to use you to advertise 21 | their work without adding value to the community? 22 | 23 | 24 | So how do I post my idea? 25 | ------ 26 | 27 | Some communities are centered around sharing your idea / product with them. 28 | A great example of this type of community is **Product Hunt**. 29 | 30 | With sites like Product Hunt, if you are not active, it could be more difficult for people to find your product. 31 | To help with this issue, some people advise that you find someone who is active in the community, called an “influencer”, 32 | and have them post your product for you. 33 | 34 | These influencers have spent years being active in the community in order to build up their 15k, 20k, 100k, 35 | or even a million followers. If you just come along and say 36 | 37 | *“hey yo, can you post my cool product?”*, you’re not giving them the respect they deserve for the time they’ve put 38 | in to get where they are. 39 | 40 | 41 | My recommendation: 42 | ------ 43 | 44 | - Be active for a while before you post your product. 45 | 46 | When my first product was posted on Product Hunt, I was active for a while. 47 | Not for two or three weeks, it was several months. 48 | 49 | - Add value to the community 50 | 51 | If the community is a DIY community for the garden, then it doesn't help if your product is for an ecommerce product. 52 | In Germany there is a saying, “Schuster bleib bei deinen Leisten” which means “stick to the subject you're good at”. 53 | 54 | 55 | - Make contacts 56 | 57 | Make your presence felt in the community. Make contacts and try to help others. 58 | Not only that, you will be helped later if you are helpful, you never know what contacts are helpful for in the future. 59 | 60 | You never know what the future holds. When I was active on Product Hunt for some time, I found more and more cool 61 | products and services. I am still active on Product Hunt today and I've grown very fond of it now. 62 | 63 | In the meantime, I found some really good products there. Think about posting your product in a community 64 | where you are not active. 65 | 66 | 67 | What happens if I don’t follow these suggestions? 68 | ------ 69 | 70 | - In the best case, your product won't attract attention 71 | 72 | - Worst-case scenario? Your product is talked extremely badly by an Influencer from the community, 73 | your reputation suffers extremely from it, and people still remember it years later. 74 | 75 | Do you want to be remembered that way? I don't think so. Be helpful and try to add value for others, 76 | the rest comes all by itself in most cases. And yes, damn it, it's a shitload of work! 77 | 78 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
