Hi, I am thinking about buymeacoffee.com alternative which will be 100% free to use and no advertisements either. My idea is to monetise it as the other users would: accept support/donations from the users.  Basically, buymeacoffee is turned and heavily influenced by enterprise/corporate thus s...

Having a dilemma right now. Would you still give a free trial if your app has a free tier as well? The paid plan free trial requires to enter credit card details. For this reason, I think someone that reaches this point is because he has already well tested the app in the free tier and knows th...

Lets say you want to rank high on Google for the keyword "pet dog care" Before you write any content, you want to know what questions people ask on Google, Who is ranking on the top 10 and what other keywords do they rank for?, and 'Google Suggestions' for the phrase. So I made one and I find it ...

It's said that amazon asks their product makers to write a press release about the release of the product and work backwards from there. Working backwards has its uses... I recently wanted validation on a product I had already finished developing I thought I needed it so others will too. I put...

I made this newsletter app, it's had a few cycles - customers have bought it and helped improve it, and I myself use it too. But I never really got to push the sales massively cos the editor had some bugs, and I was learning how to build it whilst building it. Anyway, I got a really stable new...

Hey makers! I plan to launch my first guide for my YouTube audience behind a paywall. What is the quickest way to put text content behind a paywall? If it matters, I use Lemon Squeezy for payments. I have the guide ready in Notion, and I would prefer to have it delivered as PDF + Notion page ac...

I seem to remember an app where you can enter some text/screenshots and it produces a video with some text animations with music etc, like a low budget version of the videos you see on the Apple website. Any suggestions? I'm not looking for apps where you record yourself talking over the screen...

I've long had a bit of a conflict around social media. I want to use these platforms less and less over time. At the same time content marketing seems to be one of the simplest and cheapest strategies for indie hackers to get eyes on their product. This mostly goes for things like Twitter/X and ...

I always find the marketing part very hard, I find it hard to write text that sells, especially in English. I also find it hard to figure out how much content I can put on before launch? Like not that many people have tried the tool yet and the features are quite limited. I would like to hear wha...

Hey everyone! I just launched a new version of my LP & I'd love to get your feedback. My main concerns are: • Is it clear what the service offers? • Does it encourage you to sign-up? • Is the copyrighting good? The landing is here: CopyCopter.ai  Thankss!

You have a dashboard admin on your SaaS. What you need to manage? - Users? - Payments? - Emails? - SEO? - Blogging? What else?

Curious about how people feel about when they have new projects and do they ever worry about fatiguing their followers? Like "oh great. here's another totally new thing." I wonder how people handle that. Do you just make sure you don't abandon something you start? Or make sure to kill them quick...

Hi guys, I just checked our business Instagram after a while, and to my surprise, I see we got like 700+ followers. When I looked at the notifications, the account names were a bit suspicious, and they all followed 2 weeks ago. Obviously, this is some kind of an "attack"? We don't even promote ou...

I've been playing with the idea to build some sort of glossary/vocabulary for everything docker related, basically explaining the different commands, options, names etc.  Has anyone done something similar for marketing purposes? How easy was it for you to rank with that many pages, even if the c...

I think I see how it works - let other people host the software away so there's no server management costs. A lot of cost and headache with SaaS comes with hosting loads of users, so do you think it makes sense to sell using the once model like 37 signals? I'm considering it, but find it a bit t...

In the SaaS app we use, I want to create user segments based on data fields and events. This data will help send targeted emails and messages. What's the most cost-effective tool for this? I've looked at Freshchat and Intercom, but they're too expensive. Freshchat's messaging plan starts at 5,000...
