Hey ๐
Youโre reading the weekly wrap-up Sunday newsletter of whatโs going on in the Indie-Hacking community on X.
This is our 14th edition of TwindiePoint.
A well-known developer asked how people made their first dollar online. To be honest, back in 2021, I created an HTML cheat sheet to help developers. I posted it on Gumroad, and within the first day of sharing it on Twitter, I made my first $5. That was my first online income ๐ธ. Honestly, it was an amazing feeling! Earning your first dollar online changes everything.
When did you make your first $1 online?
What was the product or service that you sold?

Having an audience is key to success in the startup world ๐!
This never works
