Indie Hackers

Sam Parr joins Courtland for a catch up on what's happening with The Hustle during the pandemic. And they talk about his latest newsletter project, Trends, which is on track to hit 8 figures. Plenty of practical advice in this one - growth, media business models, how to launch a profitable newsletter and improving copywriting skills. If newsletters are your thing, you have to listen to this.

Just starting out or trying to find an idea to work on? Or wondering why nobody’s signing up for your latest project? Bram Kanstein (Startup Stash, No-Code MVP) sits down with Courtland Allen for a must listen episode of The Indie Hackers Podcast. They discuss how Bram got started down the entrepreneur path, the mindset you need to have when you start, the importance of an MVP and why no-code tools are perfect for experimenting.‍

Harry aimed small and didn’t have huge money goals. This meant he could start immediately. He didn’t need to spend months building a product before launching. Start small and iterate on feedback.

Make sure the problems you’re solving for your customers are their top challenges. Do the research to figure that out before you start building the solution. If it’s not a priority, ask how you can make it the priority.

Find *your* people. What market are you part of? Which market do you understand in-depth? That’s the easiest place to start finding problems to solve.
