Build Your First App in Just 2 Hours: CodeHagen's Story! 🏠

Hey πŸ‘‹

You’re reading the weekly wrap-up Sunday newsletter of what’s going on in the Indie-Hacking community on X.

This is our 15th edition of TwindiePoint.

I'm starting a new YouTube channel called StartupHunt with my friend Niharika! πŸŽ₯✨ Our channel will review the latest launched tech startups and showcase how they solve real-world problems for potential users. πŸ’‘πŸŒ Subscribe now to stay up-to-date!

John Rush shared an intense moment from his journey. He woke up one morning to 100+ missed calls on his phone. The first message he read was: "We're hacked, everything is down." 😱

In that instant, his heart raced, and he jumped straight to his laptop to assess the damage. πŸ’»πŸ”₯ It was one of those high-stress moments that every entrepreneur dreads.

Jaisal Rathee shared a surprising tip:

If you want to make $5k/month quickly, SaaS is not the way. Instead, try a productized service like:

  • Unlimited design 🎨

  • Done-for-you cold outreach βœ‰οΈ

  • Copywriting ✍️

  • Customer support 🀝

  • Landing page reviews πŸ”

  • MVP in 6 weeks πŸš€

These will get you to $5k/month faster than SaaS ever could! πŸ’Έ

Florin Pop πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’» is offering a fantastic opportunity to indie hackers! πŸ‘‹

He wants to be your first customer and help you make your first $1 online. πŸ’Έ

How?

  • Show him your app πŸ“±

  • Tell him what problem it solves πŸ’‘

  • Convince him why he should buy it πŸ€”

If he buys it, he’ll also share it with his audience to help you grow even faster! πŸš€

I personally used Dan’s free marketing tools, and they are just amazing! πŸ”₯ Highly recommend checking out Founderpal.ai πŸš€

Greg gave advice to those with $10M liquid, suggesting they should target AI solutions for solopreneurs. πŸš€

John Rush shared some great advice on how to promote your startup with no followers. πŸš€

1. Reddit Subreddits: Share your story in relevant subreddits like r/entrepreneur and r/bootstrappedsaas. πŸ“–

2. Hackernoon: Write a branded article. Focus on value, not just promotion. πŸ“

3. Launchpads: List your startup for free on DevHunt, Product Hunt, etc. πŸš€

4. Directories: Use paid (like Betalist) and free directories (like BetaPage) to get listed. πŸ“‚

5. Engage in Discussions: Reply to relevant posts with your tool, but avoid spamming. πŸ’¬

6. Sponsor Influencers: Collaborate with small influencers for targeted outreach. 🀝

7. Sponsor Newsletters: Advertise in small newsletters for better ROI. πŸ“§

9. Cold Outreach: Use personalized emails and LinkedIn DMs for effective outreach. πŸ“¬
