Have you built communities for your brand beyond social media? Which tools do you use?

I have created a developer community management tool with over 300,000 users. I am not marketing it right now, but I'm curious if you have been building communities for your brand.

How did you start? What has been the journey? What tools do you use? I'm talking about things beyond social media.

Most importantly, what has been the journey of finding users through those communities? And even more important: finding paid users

What type of images get the most engagement on your social media platforms as a brand? And what tools do you use to generate those images or make them beautiful?

I've been setting up a group of agents (basically Markdown files) to help me streamline my social media scheduling.

Right now, the agents consist of:

  • researcher
  • online researcher
  • strategist
  • content writer
  • and so on

While I'm improving them, one of the main things is that, although I've created an image director which gives me prompts for the images to be generated, it is not doing a great job. I still feel like I can build better images using Canva.

What tools do you use other than Canva, and do you use any AI to generate images or graphics for your social media platforms? Any tips, tricks, and tools, please?

Slavia owners, how is your headlight throw after five years?

I recently met a friend who has the black Slavia. He was one of the early customers for the car. I was really impressed during the initial rides and trips we did.

Recently, he visited me and was cribbing about the headlight throw. From the outside, it doesn't appear that the headlight is not doing its job well when you look at the car from the front with the headlights turned on. When you sit inside, visibility is down to almost nothing. How's your Slavia doing, and are there any solutions for this?

How do you find the right contacts on LinkedIn and how do you approach them?

I have a few problems with what I have been interacting with founders about. One is: what do you put on your profile?

  • Do you put your designation?
  • Any accelerator you have been part of?
  • Or do you put in the tagline what you have been building?

The second part of the problem is: let us say you find the right stakeholders. I think the algorithm automatically starts suggesting them. How do you begin the interaction with them? What is the right algorithm for it?

All of this is from a startup perspective, which might not have a lot of budget. Suggestions on any tools are most welcome.

I've asked AI and explored multiple tools, but I'm looking for something which is pocket-friendly to manage social media. This is to get a collection of all the comments, responses, likes, and stats in one place. Most importantly, I want to schedule my posts from a single place, which might look like a calendar.

Going to different platforms and scheduling from there for each post is kind of tedious.

The basic requirement:

  1. Future scheduling
  2. Cracking stats/insights
  3. Responding collectively

I have explored till now:

  1. Buffer

  2. Hootsuite

  3. Publer

  4. Sprout Social

  5. Later

I've recently seen a number of tweets where people are building their own community platforms or shifting their communities to existing ones because they are saying that X is shutting down the communities on May 6th. Is it really so? Was it not bringing them users? Was it not increasing interactions or engagement? What esle, why and What's next?

After posting almost regularly for maybe over two weeks or almost a month, Reddit crediting it is really cool. Sharing this with the community.

I have collected this list, not just through Reddit but through other places as well. It is not a very long one, but I thought it would help.

I have mostly used Google Search Console, but now I need a very comprehensive SEO audit for my website, which is built on Angular. What tools do you use? I have mostly heard of SEMrush and Ahrefs and similar ones with AI as the technology. Are there any tools that are not very costly, or any prompts that I could use?

The core problem is that most of these tools fail for single-page applications if it is not server-side rendered by default.

I've recently started working on comparison pages. I was shying away from it for a long time because I didn't want to get into all the comparisons.

What has changed is the number of repeated questions along the lines of: "You're saying you're like that platform." On one hand, it's good that people are trying to understand. On the other hand, it feels like if humans have this information, AI would too. Let me write it out very clearly and explain it, without comparing to any other platform but making a logical comparison. I've seen a number of tools like ClickUp create a good number of comparison pages with almost all their competitors, whoever users might be comparing them with.

Recently talked to a founder friend who mentioned that they got a big enterprise client who read a very long, detailed comparison with one of the companies people considered to be their competitors.

What's your take on this? Have you built any comparison pages, or what are some of the best comparison pages that you've come across?

Hi! lately, I have been studying programmatic SEO, where people pick keywords, create pages, and keep adding more keywords related to the previous one. A lot of folks on Reddit have said they created hundreds, if not thousands, of pages, and it got them genuine traffic.

While I am beginning to build more content for my web application, I am curious to find insights on what works and what doesn’t, and any tools you use (obviously, probably free of cost if possible). Till now, I have created a couple of pages and am optimizing them. The most important question is: how do you manage displaying CTAs and updating them on all of these pages?

All in all, how much of a conversion does it bring? More so in the age of AI.

I've tried posting on different social media platforms, and on LinkedIn I've achieved 60-70% success in terms of knowing that my audience will be active, but I'm still figuring it out for X and Reddit.

My personal observations:

  • For LinkedIn, it has not changed over the years. We usually look at posting around: 11:30 a.m; During lunchtime, just after; During the late evening (for a tech audience, because that is when people are mostly scrolling through LinkedIn updates). The best days for performance are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and sometimes the first half of Friday.
  • For Reddit, I have seen that I get up and post or engage early in the morning, and it keeps getting engagement for the next 24 to 48 hours, or even beyond. Obviously, the engagement has to be useful.
  • For X, it is very random. I see people tweeting probably 20 times a day, sometimes, and that is excluding the replies they give. I saw that in a month I got less than 1,000 total impressions on my tweets and replies, even though I had opted for a blue tick.

Have not tried out much on Instagram, but I have seen that it works mostly late night from the very rare set of posts that I have done for my company.

Yes, this is not for personal posts, but more from a perspective of the company. Although for X, I have been trying out only on the personal profile.

I've recently received multiple DMs on Reddit about tools people have created, either individually or as a small company, to help you find the right posts or tweets across different platforms. Most of the time, these are fairly young platforms.
What I have seen is specific to my domain. I am not able to find the right set of posts, and it is essentially about developer communities, developer relations, or developer programs. How about you? Have you found any success? Any good tools to suggest?
