Is there any online community similar to Indie Hackers for marketing?
By

Let us create a list of such online communities for marketing.
I think Indie Hackers works for marketing too no?
I don't think so. Indie Hackers is about launching business and side projects and about entrepreneurship.
Specific topics of marketing such as marketing model, sales funnel, SEO hacks etc are generally not discussed here and might not be suitable also.
Give it a try!
I would start talking about it then. Everyone needs to market their side projects and businesses.
I would like to see quality posts on those topics, so have at it. Writing code and launching a new idea is easy—marketing, getting sales, and building a real business is hard.
(Keyword here though is quality posts on those topics. 😜)
There's https://growthhackers.com/posts.
its an oxymoron... it claims to be a community but in reality marketers just promoting their products :) Although I must say IH also going in that direction lately...
GH is a great place to get your daily dose of marketing advice. But it is not a great community. Most submissions there are links to other websites and the website itself does not generate sufficient discussion. Most links on the front page have under 2 comments.
I agree it could be a lot better. I think the community portion of GH used to be much better than it is now (when it was primarily just a community). But, I have learned a lot from GH over the years that they've been around.
https://inbound.org/
Inbound.org / GrowthHackers.com / Reddit.com/r/BigSEO / OnlineGenuises Slack Community / Cult of Copy on Facebook / You can find tons of decent FB groups --- G'luck!
In general, to create such a resource is not a problem (the base version can be created in a week). Main problem it collect together people, who could give quality advices and content.
Hey, I am not interested in building such a community. I am just interested in joining if any such community exists.
Hubspot Academy (https://academy.hubspot.com/)
Content is the currency of inbound marketing. Learn how to make that work for your business from the guys that lead in that sort of thing. Much of the Academy is free, but be forewarned that they use it as a lead generator for their system. For many Indie Hackers implementing Hubspot may be too expensive. But it’s a great system if you can. And in the worst case they will drop their retargeting cookie and start hammering you with their content, which is valuable in itself. ;-)
If you're looking for a gap in the market, I feel the need for a community that's more like real-time... For things, I'm stuck up with... Something on Slack, Telegram, etc.
No. I am just looking for a community.

Honestly, if you are prone to chasing 'shiny objects' and easily fall prey to sales letters promising the world... I would stay far, far away from this place.
I know a couple of people that have been scammed by tons of snake oil marketers on here in the past. It's a scummy place, to be honest.
Thank you! So, as it was written in the title of the topic - we need some resource like IH, for marketing)))

Are you a regular reader of this website? If I'm not mistaken, they seem to talk a lot about seo oriented tricks (some even seems to be close to black hat).
On the site there are several categories related with marketing
https://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/
https://www.warriorforum.com/offline-marketing/
https://www.warriorforum.com/email-marketing/
https://www.warriorforum.com/mobile-marketing/
May be i'm wrong and it's not what you need
Just a note from seasoned marketing veteran. WaFo (Warrior Forum) buy and sell section, including WSO (Warrior Special Offers) which offers to buy guides, tutoring and services, often balances on the border of a scam. Make yourself a favour and avoid those sections.
Thanks for advice!
That's good to know
