| As a soloprenuer myself, I can say that the problem is understanding the goal. When your goal is unclear, there are too many paths to the solution. Some paths are too resource intensive or unfeasible. From reading other successful soloprenuers the first goal should be: For idea X what is the quickest way to validate the idea. Example: If I have an idea (like a previous article from today indie hacker article) to show a progress bar for followers on twitter (won't work today). Do I need a subscription mechanism? no. Do I need payment management? no. Do I need an admin console? no. So how do I do it?
A form with an email+access key to write to a database or file. a crontab to run a script to update the profile photo. Done. Time to execute: 1 day. Next task: get feedback to validate. Publish on my twitter account with funny or news related posts. See if people use the script. If validated: Next goal, take money. Send email to users, that they can continue using for 4$. Send a form from some saas platform to subscribe. Manually remove non-payers. From what that indie hacker writes he did a few thousand dollars this way. Sounds plausible. Amazing how easy it is once the goals are completely clear. The next goal could be, how do I increase my income. Do I need a new feature, new marketing channel, etc... |
