Indie Hacker Money Maker Thread!

I see so many people on here super stoked about getting their first payment for work they've done online, It's such a great feeling. So let's see if we can 10x that!

I've seen this work quite successfully on a number of Facebook groups.

What you do is write a comment to this thread listing what you what you'd offer your fellow Indie Hackers for just $99 as well as why they should buy from you.

Could be: help fixing a bug, design, marketing, consulting, whatever.

You never know what connections we might build. And who knows, maybe someone will get their first $99 from someone in this community! ๐Ÿ‘Š

    I run Blogrequest. High-quality blog content for your business.

    I'm giving away Blogrequest's Creative Writer plan (priced $280) for $99/month.

    Here is the coupon code IH$99

    1. 1

      I wanted to take up this offer, but there are no examples on your website. Your terms page prices differ from the price on the home page. Your terms say once I pay I can request my first DESIGN task (not writing tasking). This made me question if your were a real business or you had just copied someone else's terms and conditions. Not trying to be harsh just my honest observation.

      1. 2

        Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I have fixed it.

        I am a software engineer and not a blogger. I only designed the site and built an internal dashboard for managing clients.

        My partner Zack is in charge of content writing and we have 3 professional writers working with him.

      Hi Emaka. That's a nice deal. I might be interested once I'm able to fix this issue that I'm having with launching my CRM. I'm catering towards the legal industry. Is that something your team can write about?

    For $99 (this is the price-point at which we started Manypixels actually!๐Ÿ‘Š ) I will offer you a basic plan of Manypixels for 1 month so you can get some work done!

    You can subscribe here: https://www.manypixels.co

    Enter this code when you subscribe: 1MM1712 (It will give you $159 off)

    Since I'm running a SaaS that is much costlier than only manhour x price I can do a special deal for fellow IH members @ 99$ annual subscription.

    I'm in the business of providing a telemetry platform where you can collect sensor data or stats counters from various systems and analyze and visualize them.

    For the offer I can offer (and this is really stretching it):

    • 200k data points per month

    • 1 millisecond data resolution

    • 2 year data retention

    • Everything else in the personal plans

    • And if they like a flagged account to be the first to get new features

    For more details, you can take a look at https://www.datagekko.com

      Looks like the lists under the business plans aren't matching in height/cta buttons not aligned at the bottom.

      1. 1

        Yeah got that input several times by now, it's an eyesore for sure. However got a couple more important things to take care of, but its on my todo list for the next couple days.

        Thanks for pointing it out!

        1. 2

          Haha, for a small fee... jk

          Those prices are serious, hope the business goes well

          1. 1

            Thanks!

  4. 3

    I'll kick things off!

    For $99, i'll conduct keyword research and give you the titles of the first four blog posts you should write when you launch!

    1. 3

      Let's start a bidding war. I'll do the exact same, for $98*

      *just kidding, no idea how to do keyword research. Good luck Jordie!

      1. 1

        hahah! that's the spirit. I'm sure you have something to offer as well though, David!

        1. 1

          Catching up on old IH posts this afternoon and this stuck out to me @jordie โ€”ย are there companies that provide this specific service you offered here (i.e. here are the first/next X blog posts you should write, but don't write the posts for you)?

          As someone with half-decent writing skills and some free time, I struggle with the idea of outsourcing content creation. That said, I'm not super adept at keyword research, so I don't know what the ideal posts to are and thus, rarely post :)

          1. 2

            Hey Noah, it's actually something we offer at my own content agency! A lot of early-stage founders can't afford to pay for content, but have people within their team who are able to produce the content.

            They simply pay for strategy and guidance.

            I guess it goes further than "here are the next posts you should write" and moves towards "these posts will resonate with your audience and should be targeted towards XYZ stage of the buyer's funnel!"

            1. 1

              Very cool! Not sure I'm in the market for this at the moment but will definitely keep you guys in mind when I do need some post ideas.

              Also FWIW I checked out your site, and it's not super obvious to me that this an option you offer. Might be worth testing a landing page focused on this write-it-yourself sort of guidance to see if this resonates with others too?

              1. 1

                Yeah that's a super good idea actually, definitely something i'll look into! Thanks!

  5. 2

    Coincidentally I launched my Vue.js online course at $99 2 days ago ๐Ÿ˜„

    That's the launch price until Sunday if anyone is interested in such a thing ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ป that's not an offer unique to IH but that's already a deal!

  6. 2

    For $99 I will design your logo

  8. 2

    For $99 I will write the copy for your whole landing page.

    You must post on here and show all of your friends!

    My work so far: rocketnow.co.uk & meta-recruit.co.uk

    1. 2

      You would consider this (https://phppointofsale.com) as a landing page? It is a page about my whole product. This sounds very interesting for me.

      1. 1

        @blasto333 PHP POS seems interesting... It says it integrates with WooCommerce, but how does it compare to WooCommerce itself?

        [after watching the video ad] Is this for physical stores?

        1. 2

          Woo commerce is for selling online. Php pos is for selling in a physical store. It will let you process credit cards, cash, gift cards and have all sorts of reporting on your stores sales. The integration allows inventory to be synced and items uploaded into woo commerce so you can sell online and in store while keeping your inventory in sync.

          1. 1

            Aha! Got it! Pretty neat indeed. How does it let you process credit cards tho? Is it using Stripe or similar service? Is a credit card reader device needed?

            1. 2

              We process with my different companies including stripe and braintree. However we recommend other partners that can do chip card processing also. See https://phppointofsale.com/credit_card_processing.php

      2. 1

        Nice product! Potentially, I'll email you.

  9. 1

    For $99 dollars I'll help you audit your Paid acquisition strategy ;)

    For 99$ I sit with you over skype review you landing page or come up a wireframe for a landing page you. For 499$ I ll provide a custom stunning visual design as well.

  11. 1

    I have 10+ years of experience in technology, SAAS and digital marketing industry.

    I can offer to write a great well-researched blog post which will engage users + target keywords on search (if you want i will do the keyword research and find a nice long tail keyword we can target in the blog post).

  12. 1

    For $99, I'll set up a basic Django backend on Heroku that includes a user model and social authentication.

    I run TribeStack (https://tribestack.landen.co/), a content marketing service for B2B tech and SaaS companies. I want to be a part of this fun thread, so I'm giving away TribeStack's MVP package (priced $250) for $99 for the first month.

      That's such a super idea! Definitely something I didn't realize i needed, but now i've seen it, i'm sold!

      I think you should definitely get some inside help (hi, pick me) on the copy.

      It took me a while to understand exactly what it is you're offering and why I should pay monthly for it.

      However, with that said, once I realized, I thought it was a great idea.
