Hi Indie Hackers,
in the last post I've helped 50+ people giving them a feedback about their landing page and now I want to offer something more.
Today I've launched Growth Toolkit on PH, a database with 200+ Growth Hacks and 500+ Related Resources like Case Studies, Examples, Tools and Guides ๐ฅ
For this launch I want to give to this amazing community a special bonus: 3 Growth Hacks for your Business completely for Free.... It's also Christmas time ๐
How to get my advice?
1 - Comment with your link
2 - Add a small description of your idea and of your buyer persona
3 - Optional Maybe you can support me for the launch on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/growth-toolkit) โค๏ธ
NB: this post has fewer upvotes than comments ๐ฅ Maybe you can help to show this opportunity to the IH's Home Page ...
I hope you enjoy it ๐ค
Ciao Marco,
Really curious to hear your advices on my silly product:
Hi Kevin,
I think many students will love you. Some hack:
Will give the, a try! Thanks Marco
This comment was deleted 3 years ago.
Thanks a lot, really had fun creating it.
Hey Marco ๐, thanks for doing this.
Hereโs an open source project that Iโm on the core team for:
(FIWL.js)[https://github.com/fiwl-js/fiwl-js] - Efficiently organize your web app layout.
Here is our website: https://fiwl-js.github.io
Thanks so much!
Hi Brayden,
your site is so cool. Just before speaking about Growth Hacking, what is your revenue model? Only donations?
Btw, I am the lead designer so I did the website :)
I โhackedโ the default template for Docusaurus which is how we manage our docs. Just wanted to make it look a bit nicer and stand out to others.
Currently, yes. We are not planning to add a โPaidโ plan. Itโs all free :)
Once we finish the initial features and polish up the website, we plan to launch on HN, ProductHunt, and get some donations.
Do you have any tips for us? Thanks.
Yes, I have some suggestion. Try to collect more leads you can (at this moment you are linking directly to your Github page and bye-bye users).
Probably the best revenue source is a plan to create custom services with your library, but if you don't collect emails or contacts in general, you can not offer them anything.
If you think about the PH launch, I have to remember you that it is not sure and only a small % will give you money.
Create content, guides and other ways to collect prospect and sale your custom services on the future ๐ค
Thanks so much!
Love that you're doing this! Just dropping by to say this but I'll be reading all tips.
Hi Alexandra, thanks for your nice comment... I hope you enjoy the tips (I know that sometimes I repeat them, but there is not any magic sauce).. I've also noticed that you are a content writer and this could be also an opportunity to get some new client :)
"there is not any magic sauce" - yes, preach!
"this could be also an opportunity to get some new client" - to be honest, I love creating editorial calendars for startups ^_^
Hi Marco! Thanks for your initiative :)
Thanks, and cheers from Italy ๐
Ciao Marco, congratulations for your amazing tool. It seems amazing and your landing page looks nice. Here are my hacks:
Those are great suggestions! Thanks a lot for the appreciation, it means a lot!
Looking forward to see what you'll build next. Keep up the good work :)

Hi Justin, before speaking about Marketing and related stuff, some suggestion for your site:
Growth Hacking and Marketing:
Thanks Macro for your suggestions.
Regarding plans, do you think it is too many plans? Please suggest me right number of plans.
Regarding purchase notifications, do you want us to show it on the site itself?
I will implement growth hacking suggestions. By the way, we already have Crispt chat in our site and dashboard.
1 - https://phppointofsale.com
2 - Retail point of sale system. Buyer persona: Small to medium sized retail stores
3 - Upvoted
I don't know your budget, but if you don't have so much to invest, I suggest you an outreach campaign:
Tools to use: Hunter.io to find emails, Streak to track emails and Mailshaker for bigger campaign
1- makesales.io
2- find & close your next 100 customers
3- done, godspeed :)
appreciate it, I might arrive after the party though
1 - https://wplivestream.com/
2 - WordPress plugin that automatically embeds a livestream and notifies website visitors. Buyer persona: anyone that live streams on a regular basis (churches, gamers, etc.) AND is a WordPress user.
3 - Just gave you an upvote on PH! ๐
Thanks for the upvote Nathan. A quick strategy that I could suggest with a small budget:
1 - Scrape people who use Wordpress (I know that it is a huge list, but you can target companies from specific countries)
2 - Find information about these companies using Crunchbase (employees, market and other)
3 - Contact their founders, CTO or other people finding their emails using FindThatLead, Hunter.io or others and Streak to track all the emails and your pipeline
Thanks, @MarcoGurnari!
Interested to hear your thoughts on this - https://howtoproduct.co
It's courses for makers/no coders who need some assistance with product strategy
Robert your business has great potential and we can discuss about Marketing, Advertising, Funnels and so on, but a course priced at $9 is a steal ;)
My main suggestion is to Increase the Price and thanks to the higher profit you can:
Hi Marco,
Hi Tirex, have you a Landing Page or it is just this product?
Not yet, it is in progress now. We are going to launch next week.
Thanks for doing this!
Hi Sai A,
your landing looks nice and the service seems cool too.
Here you can find some tips:
Hi Marco,
Just launched today a new website. Not yet finished though.
Hi Daniel,
before going forward speaking about Marketing, it's time to speak about your product/service.
All the jobs are related to jobs that require experience :)
Some hack:
Thanks. What do you mean by "All the jobs are related to jobs that require experience ". That there are no jobs that require zero experience?
I am trying to target graduate programs and on-job training internships.
In the listed jobs there are:
....
These are jobs that require a LOT of experience :)
Yeah got it. Data has not yet been changed. Working on that. Thanks for the advice.
Hi marco,

2 - millenials with some disposable income and an interest in sustainability.

Landing page
Great Idea, some suggestion:

Thanks
Hi Ran, I remember your software from a previous post offering a free landing page audit :)

Buyer persona- Startup founders with funding or tech companies committed to creating an inclusive and impactful work culture.

Hi Marie, the idea behind the project is great and I love your initiative, but...

Thank you!

1 - karenapp.io
2 - Simplest tool for freelancers, and consultants to sell their time.
3 - Done the upvote.
Hi Jill, is the voice-over of your video produced by a Software?
BTW @MarcoGurnari waiting for the growth hacks.
got a freelancer to do it.
Hi Jil, the idea is interesting but before speaking about Marketing and related stuff, I would suggest you improve your landing page (in order to make it "more professional").
Some suggestion about that:
thanks @MarcoGurnari we are already working on the landing page upgrade, and it shall be up in a week. In fact, you are pretty spot on, in terms of feedback, we had interviewed about 20 marketers and got similar feedback. All of it is WIP.
Would love to hear your thoughts on marketing.

Hi Mateo,
the idea is cool, but...

I wanted to upvote, without posting a comment, so the upvote/comment ratio would go up, but than I could not have told you about it!
Sorry this comment is not really helpful...up until now!
I'm currently trying to grow a background music channel on YouTube..so a) not a new product b) an horrible unoriginal idea and c) a super competitive market
So if you have ANY idea how to grow it, I'm thankful, even tho I know that's not what this was about, but that's my project for now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiRjDPTj8RzrS8846HOQ-Yg
The "big picture" is to document my efforts and put it into a blog where I talk about the various steps I took and the issues I ran into along the way...

Hi man,
I've noticed that you are creating a Podcast and Blog (and obviously I suggest you to add more content there). My suggestions would be more focused on the landing page, in order to increase your conversion rate:
Hey @MarcoGurnari . Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Great point about posting a better video, I will work on it.
Regarding the testimonials part, again a valid point. Will work on making it look more trustworthy. The 3rd point resonates with it as well.
We are working on a Producthunt launch for the main product but launching a Side Project of free videos would be a great idea as well. Will see what can be done here.
Again thanks a lot for the valuable feedback
