The Power of Silent Support

My Unexpected Product Hunt Launch

Yesterday, we launched dailydopamine[.]pro

While we didn't hit the #1 spot, something incredible happened.

7 people reached into my DMs to say they loved the product, had upvoted, and even asked their own teams and friends to support it. The surprising part? The most powerful promotion came from others, not just my own efforts.

This taught me a valuable lesson: don't measure your impact by likes and comments. In an age of endless scrolling, even a double-tap can feel like a huge effort. Our real engagement is often silent observation.

Your audience is watching. They see your journey, they track your progress, and they build a connection with you in their minds without you even realizing it. You are silently building trust.

So when you finally launch that valuable product or service, don't be surprised when people are ready to jump on it. The groundwork has already been laid in the quiet moments of their scrolling.

Thanks for reading, and see you next time. If you know of any research or papers on this topic, please share them! I'd love to take a look.
