I'm working on an AI for marketing strategy and automation. The goal is to help product focused indie hackers like ourselves do marketing. It will help you develop and execute a marketing strategy for your business. I'm doing some user research and would be grateful if anyone filled out this su...

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 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...

what is the most efficient marketing strategy for 4-6 hours weekly? posts/comments on Reddit? 

I’m debating whether to launch my product as free or paid from day one. Free could help attract more users and build a community, but it might be tough to monetize later. Going paid could mean fewer users initially, but at least there’s immediate revenue. For those who’ve been there, done that—w...

Does anyone have any suggestions of ways to level up my design and UX skills?

Hi, my business partner and I have been building multiple products including Shopify Apps as well as other online services over the years. We are good a what we do and really bad at marketing these products and let people know about them. How did you solve that problem in your own products? Do yo...

https://easyaccents.app/ I've build a mediocre landing page, and a mediocre backend, neither are perfect. I've been working on this project for about two months now. So far close family & friends joined, and are using the DEMO daily, they are pretty happy. My thinking now is that I try to get s...

At Dea we're probably spending 60% on product & engineering, 20% on content & marketing, and 20% on business related activities. Would love to know what everyone thinks is a perfect split of time and what your actual time spend looks like.

Agency owners (and everyone else), I need your advice with self-identity, branding and self-positioning "me" vs "my company". I run a small Cloud Consulting agency #hazelops where we build/troubleshoot Cloud for small-to-mid startups (Terraform, AWS, EKS, Docker, etc). I do at least 50% of work...

I'm getting ready for another product launch and want to avoid common mistakes. What's something you wish you had done differently during your launch? I feel like there's always a lesson to be learned.

Folks, let’s say you have unique technical insights that can be shared through a blog post. If your ICP is unrelated, would you still write and publish the blog under your business website? If not, what would you do instead?

I'm thinking of making a mobile app for my next project. Those of you who have done it, how do you find ideas/domains people are searching for on app stores? How do you make sure these people will find your app? I guess doing keyword research for the web and directing people to your website wh...

I'm interested in learning how to effectively promote a SaaS product on Reddit. If you've had success doing this, I'd love to hear your experience. What strategies worked well for you, and do you have any specific tips or tricks to share? It would also be helpful to know about any challenges or ...

I am trying to grow sliplane.io right now and want to figure out how to set goals for the growth, just to have something to (realistically) strive for. Since I have no comparison, I have no idea where to start. We are currently growing our paid user base by around 20% MoM, is that good? Bad? Sho...

Hi! i m new here! How has your experience been with the wip community? How has it helped you in your indiejourney? Any tangible results might be good to share.

For those who are doing paid ads on platforms like Meta, what is your typical CAC? I watched this video yesterday and it makes sense if you can get the right CAC and matching initial customer payment. SO yeah - that's the context for why I am asking.  Would love to get a feel for benchmarks. ...

Almost all companies in the same space as Melies have Discord communities. I'm not a big fan of Discord, but it seems to be the go to and probably a good way to get more users, and build a community where people already are. 1. Have you already opened a Discord community? 2. How to make sure it'...

Any sub-reddits people can recommend that are friendly to posts?
