Overview

This skill helps you plan and execute community outreach across Reddit, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Discord, Slack, and niche forums to amplify a Product Hunt launch. It focuses on finding the right communities, crafting platform-appropriate posts, and scheduling cross-platform engagement without triggering spam rules. Practical templates, timing strategies, and checklists are included to keep your outreach authentic and effective.

How this skill works

The skill inspects product fit and target audiences to recommend the most relevant communities and subcommunits. It provides tailored post templates and posting schedules for each platform, plus pre-launch, launch-day, and post-launch checklists. It flags potential moderation or spam risks and suggests language and timing adjustments to maximize genuine engagement.

When to use it

Preparing a Product Hunt launch and wanting targeted community support
Testing messaging and gathering early feedback from makers and developers
Building relationships in communities before launch to avoid cold-posting
Coordinating a launch across multiple communities without repetition
Recovering from poor initial engagement by optimizing follow-up posts

Best practices

Join and contribute 2–4 weeks before launching; add value through comments, not links
Customize posts per community—avoid copy-pasting the same text everywhere
Share learnings and metrics, ask specific questions, and invite discussion
Monitor and reply quickly to all comments; be humble and open to criticism
Follow each community’s rules and respect moderators to avoid bans

Example use cases

Map target subreddits and create a staggered posting schedule for launch day
Write an Indie Hackers post that highlights product lessons and transparent metrics
Prepare a Show HN submission with technical details tailored to Hacker News readers
Find Discord and Slack servers with relevant #self-promo channels and plan engagement
Draft variant post templates for design, dev, and growth communities to test messaging

FAQ

Join and participate for at least 2–4 weeks so you can build credibility and learn what content resonates.

Can I post the same announcement in multiple places?

No—use platform-specific variations and stagger timing to avoid spam flags and improve authenticity.
