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

Hey 👋

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.

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. 💻🔥 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 ✉️

• Copywriting ✍️

• Customer support 🤝

• Landing page reviews 🔍

• MVP in 6 weeks 🚀

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

Florin Pop 👨🏻‍💻 is offering a fantastic opportunity to indie hackers! 👋

He wants to be your first customer and help you make your first $1 online. 💸

How?

• Show him your app 📱

• Tell him what problem it solves 💡

• Convince him why he should buy it 🤔

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

I personally used Dan’s free marketing tools, and they are just amazing! 🔥 Highly recommend checking out Founderpal.ai 🚀

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

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

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

2. Hackernoon: Write a branded article. Focus on value, not just promotion. 📝

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

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

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

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

7. Sponsor Newsletters: Advertise in small newsletters for better ROI. 📧

9. Cold Outreach: Use personalized emails and LinkedIn DMs for effective outreach. 📬
