How I got 292 upvotes on ProductHunt?

Hello, I'm Ugur,

Yesterday I published my product on ProductHunt. Currently in 6th place. If I get 11 more votes, I can move to 5th place. :)

How Did I Succeed?
I am a member of a selective and paid community called Komunite.com.tr. They are the Turkey Partner of MicroAcquire. The moment I shared, I suddenly got 60 votes. I started with 60 votes.

As soon as the product was released, I tweeted mentioning ProductHunt. And my followers started following that tweet. It has a total of 10,000 views. It also gained me, followers. They saw it and voted. (https://twitter.com/ugur2nd/status/1532256396171005952)

The day before the launch, I posted a 2-minute candid video on Twitter. (https://twitter.com/ugur2nd/status/1531985798823911426/) + YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7hFkczbgfU) + Instagram Story + WhatsApp Story

In the process, I made #buildinpublic on Twitter. I immediately responded to every comment. And I added live support to the site.

All together, such a result emerged.
You can ask me anything you want.

Thank you.
