I recently opened social accounts for Zenpen, but I'm flooded with bots instead of getting human engagement. On X 90% of the follows are bots. On Pinterest, most of the views are bots. This makes me think that some of the visits I see in my analytics are bots too. Perhaps it‘s time to change mar...

I'm building TurkishFluent, a SaaS to learn Turkish online for expats living in Turkey. I would like to improve my landing page before trying out some paid acquisition. Here is some stuff I have already pointed out: - Video feels a bit cheap - Change the picture of "Get Used To Real Spoken Turki...

The first big win for Ordinary Link is hitting $100 in Monthly Recurring Revenue. This milestone will prove the platform is on the right track and set the stage for the real growth to come. It’s the start of something bigger.

I created 50 AI-generated videos to promote my French learning app (francaisavecmarcel.fr). Here’s the result 👇 🎯 TikTok: 1,533 followers 62K views → Fast visibility but low long-term engagement (40 views/follower). Growth curve is flattening. 🎯 Instagram: 125 followers 8,334 views (last 90 days)...

I'm curious if anyone has used Ship and what you got out of it?

One learns and practices coding by building stuff they are interested in. Similarly, how can one learn marketing and sales? If the answer is "by selling something", then what do I sell?

I launched Caption Cat a few weeks ago as an experiment. Since then I've been posting new photos daily, but the number of user-contributed captions and upvotes is declining. There's still a core of users contributing almost daily, but it's less fun if there's too few people left to see it. I'm ...

After the initial wave of users after launch dies down, what are some good ways to keep attracting new users?

Hi all, I'm a semi self-publishing author of books on different topics. I wrote about fitness (in a satirical way), about travel hacking (on how to find cheap airfare) and about (how not to kill your) houseplants.  My current project is more of a philosophical work, exploring the concept of aut...

Hi everyone, I'm new in this indie hacker's world. I'm building one product. But without any users its pretty useless. So, i can't understand how to get organic users. I don't want to pay any paid services. Like fb ads. Because, if we stop paying we can't get enough traffic. I tried reddit, bu t...

UpDog keeps slowly but surely growing by itself :)

I’m copywriting from Monday to Friday, and that’s cool, I’m loving it. But on the weekend, I want to get some intentional distance from it and use my leisure time to test things out. My ask I’m inviting you to deconstruct the DNA of a pop song so we can create our own. I’m looking for creative c...

Hi all, I have the domain prototypr.io, and also a new project called UI Sounds, that currently sits in uisounds.prototypr.io. However, I also own uisounds.io - do you think it would be a good move to use uisounds.io instead of the subdomain? The reason I went with subdomain is because it's pa...

(this is question is in addition to the audio message that I just shared with you in the Telegram WIP chat group) I’m currently offering audio-only story-based ads for small companies and solopreneurs that I personally like while building my dream storytelling company, #suse (susé patrola). It’...

It feels like a tough needle to thread. I've made mistakes both launching too early with something that makes people go "eh, cool I guess", and building feature after feature and never pushing it out the door. Curious to see how you all think through this and what your collective experiences ha...

I'm thinking of creating a job board for a specific niche, and regardless if it has both paid and unpaid listings I was wondering how I could populate it when it's just starting out. Should I scrape relevant jobs, post them on my own, and then alert the businesses they're on my site? Or would a ...

Inspired by the man himself Pat Walls with his StarterStory, I started my own blog interviewing side hustlers and successful content creators (I was a content creator myself, so it made sense to do something like this + to network with them later down the track). Since I started nearly 3 months ...
