Looking for email services recommendations. I'll need to send emails for:  - verification  - daily reminders & status updates - weekly updates - notifications (likes & comments) likely batched In the past I've used sendmail and postfix but I only needed to send emails to people in my own domain...

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...

Hey everyone, I want to experiment with running social media ads and see if they lead to eBook sales. At the relatively high price for the sale, I think it might work pretty well but it's just a theory. I am primarily interested in IG/FB because I think it's the best place for my TA (expats), bu...

I'm building a real estate platform for a specific market that has no English speaking platform yet. I want realtors to publish their listings (for a fee) on my website but how do I convince them on my platform if it has no traffic yet? It's kind of like a chicken and egg problem. If there's no c...

Hey all! I'm a frontend dev. Wondering if anyone would be interested in trading some coding time in exchange for some marketing, if you've got some expertise in that area.

Right now I have a handful of customers on the $29/mo plan. I feel like there's more potential though, but it's a tricky product to market. Any suggestions on how I can grow revenue without substantial investments in the product itself? I'm considering adding a cheaper plan ($7/mo) with a lower...

I’m creating an annual report that documents real-life, current statistics on service providers’ websites to create an accessible reference tool for people who want to build their business off social media. For this, I’m defining service providers as freelancers (like web devs, designers, writer...

I'm planning to launch on Product Hunt tomorrow, because it's the first tuesday of november, but It's also US elections... Maybe there'll be less competition. But maybe also there will be nobody on Product Hunt.  How stupid is this? EDIT: Let's go 👉 https://www.producthunt.com/posts/melies For...

OpenAI has announced the launch of the new ChatGPTs store here -> https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts I feel that this is a super big opportunity to have one of the first mover advantages (perhaps like being one of the first apps on the Apple App store - except with many more users). Of co...

I am a complete noob when it comes to email drip campaigns, so I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with this. If so, what tools are you using? What kind of automations / triggers have you set up and how are they working out for you? Right now, I occasionally send out a manual email marke...

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...

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 ...

Is it any good? Is it a good idea when you have just launched?

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 ...

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...

You've heard it before. As a dev how can I get better at marketing? For me marketing is just posting my buildinpublic on X. But I constantly feel like im posting into a void. How should I "up" my game?  Things I've thought of but haven't tried yet: - A twitter feed trying and reviewing open sou...

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

Or: where can I learn online sales for SaaS?
