I basically fell off my chair πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ (for a good reason)

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

A couple of days ago, I made new post for people to send me their landing page on and I would give them free advice. After the first day, I probably got one or two comments. I gave them some feedback and that was all ... or that's what I thought.

The next day I woke up to over 30 email notifications from Indie Hackers with people requesting me for feedback. And boy I didn't know what I was getting into. It took me about an hour and a half to get through those first 30ish. Then I reloaded the page. The amount of requests had more than doubled than before. This went on for most of the day (yep. very little breaks 😴) and towards the evening, it started to settle down.

I learned a lot throughout the long process and have been greatly inspired by everyone's landing pages. And of course, my followers increased by about 5 times what it was before (I'm at 30 when I wrote this) which was pretty cool.

Thanks to all the wonderful indie hackers out there! πŸ˜„πŸ™

    Hah, it's so awesome how those types of posts are getting so popular and supportive here now.

    I spent over a year doing them myself, I think I can (mostly) stop as the community are doing a better job than I ever could!

      Thanks! Man, I didn't know that much requests would come in though. That was about 150+ paragraphs I had to write and about 200 emojis πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

      Hey @rosiesherry πŸ‘‹. I know you are really busy and you might not do what I request, but could you promote my friend @JoshTernyak 's new publication? This could mean a lot to many many people and help our world during this crazy times. It would mean a lot and I know many people will see your posts. Thanks so much!

      Hey @Michael_Andreuzza, it would be cool if you could promote my friend @JoshTernyak and a site he writes on. It is getonedesk.com

      Thanks so much! (A post on your profile would be just fine! πŸ˜„πŸ‘)

    You did a great job by responding to all of them, @BraydenTW. You can build some insights from this as you surely would have learnt from doing this :)

      Thanks! It took a whiLe for sure. I was kinda exhausted 😩

      I think I’ll work on a post for the near future where I shout out my favorite ones and share some general things everyone should learn form.

      Thanks for for the suggestion @vaibhavThevedi ! πŸ˜„

    If I were you, I'd put together a pdf or a blog post about what you learned by doing this. I did something similar with newsletter descriptions. and learned a lot in the process of re-writing others that I ended up re-writing my own newsletter description like 5 times.

    Came up with a pretty simple formula: {{ content }} for {{ readers }}

      Cool! Thanks for the advice! I might start writing on my own Medium blog too.

    Well that deserves a congratulation!

    Kudos to you Brayden for your effort and support in all your feedback! :)

    Also, I love how supportive these posts are on Indiehackers, nice to read around in the posts on here! :)
