Inviting members to recommend resources taps into the collective wisdom of your digital products community. People love to share tools, articles, and discoveries that have helped them, and seeing others' recommendations often inspires further sharing. This approach leverages social proof, making members more likely to try out resources that peers have found valuable.
Resource sharing also reduces the overwhelm that comes with endless options in the digital product space. When trusted community members explain how a resource has benefited them, it provides real-world context and practical value. This not only helps less experienced members but also elevates experienced ones as thought leaders, deepening connections and encouraging ongoing participation.

To use these templates, simply copy and post them in your community channels. Tailor them to fit your group’s focus or upcoming topics. Encourage members to add context by explaining why they recommend a resource and how it has helped them. Use follow-up questions to prompt discussion, and consider compiling shared resources into a living list or guide for future reference.
On all platforms, keep prompts concise and easy to answer. Use clear calls to action and encourage linking or tagging. Consider pinning popular resource threads, and use hashtags or labels to help members find recommendations later. Adapt the format for posts, stories, or threads as appropriate.
To encourage high-value recommendations, frame your questions around precise workflow challenges or use cases common in digital product development. For example, ask: 'What SaaS platforms have you used for automating onboarding emails in B2B SaaS products?' This specificity helps members share targeted and relevant tools rather than generic suggestions.
Both approaches work well, but referencing product lifecycle stages can spark deeper insights since members at similar stages often face shared pain points. For example, recommending prototyping tools for MVP validation or A/B testing platforms during scaling drives more contextual and actionable suggestions.
Establish clear guidelines for resource sharing. You might allow recommendations with affiliate links only if members clearly disclose their relationship, or you may limit posts to unbiased suggestions. Being transparent about these rules ensures the resource thread remains valuable and trustworthy for digital product professionals.
Be as specific as possible in your prompt. For instance, ask: 'Which GDPR compliance SaaS tools have you successfully implemented in your digital products?' or 'Can anyone recommend platforms for automated accessibility testing of web apps?' This invites answers from members with direct experience in these specialized areas.
In your Recommend a Resource post, explicitly request that members include details on how they integrated the tool, what challenges they encountered, and any tips or pitfalls. For example: 'Share your favorite payment gateway for SaaS apps—and tell us about the setup process or any gotchas you encountered.'
Yes, segmenting threads by product type increases relevance and helps members quickly find recommendations suited to their context. For instance, tools for mobile app analytics may differ significantly from those for SaaS dashboards, so distinct threads ensure focused, actionable advice for each digital product category.
