How to launch on Indie Hackers, step by step
Indie Hackers is a community where founders of profitable businesses and side projects share their stories openly, and give and receive feedback. Its weekly newsletter collects the posts the community upvotes most.
Add your product
Create the product page in the products directory. Product pages can show self-reported revenue, and founders who share numbers tend to get the most attention.
Post a story, not an announcement
Write about what you built, what worked and what did not, with the numbers you are comfortable sharing.
Ask for help in public
Indie Hackers asks members to post questions publicly rather than contacting people directly, which is also how experienced founders find them.
Keep posting milestones
A launch is one post. Updates as the product grows keep it in front of the same readers.
Mistakes to avoid
- A one-line launch post with a link and nothing learned.
- Posting once and never replying.
