Builds stuff minimally

To be a successful indie hacker, I need to do both. Heck, even closer to 80% marketing.

Why am I’m always in programming mode?

  • It’s easier because I’m in control
  • Fear of rejection
  • It’s my comfort zone
  • I feel progress (and only me)
  • I feel in control
  • I love solving puzzle

Why I should do more marketing?

  • Money. No customer no money
  • No one will appreciate my idea
  • I build this to help other people like me. So spread!
  • Even if just one other person find this useful makes me happy
  • Show people what I can do.
  • Even if the project fail, I can still make connections that will lead to the next gem
