Just dove into Indie Hackers, what other great resources are out there?
Most of my experience has been either at big companies and backed startups. I'm just starting to really dive into bootstrapping my own company on the nights/weekends while working my day role (VP Software Dev at Backed Startup). I stumbled upon Indie Hackers a while back, but have just dove in and found it to be a treasure trove of fantastic information about bootstrapping a startup. I also have started listening to some podcasts like Startups for the Rest of Us by Rob Walling, which is amazing (would highly recommend).
Was curious on what other resources you all found helpful for someone coming from more a big company/backed startup background into the bootstrapping space.
Thanks for the mention!
I’m terms of podcasts, we out together a list of bootstrapped SaaS podcasts here: https://microconf.com/saas-podcasts-to-check-out
Startups for the Rest of Us pod rocks!
Thanks for the great content with Startups for the Rest of Us! and thanks for this reference. Just listened to an episode of the Art of Product Pod and it was really good, will definitely continue listening to it
Product Hunt is pretty cool to find a community and also check out other products.
Hey Justin, welcome to the IH community. I am the founder of the Wannabe Entrepreneur where I create tools and resources to help to start bootstrappers (I have a podcast where I interview makers, a community, blog posts, etc...)
Thanks Tiago! I enjoyed your article on how to get traffic from Indie Hackers, will definitely start applying some of these strategies (https://wannabe-entrepreneur.com/post/use-ih-for-marketing/)
Hey Justin, I’m building EntrepreneurList where you can find a lot of interesting resources for your purposes.
Thanks! This looks like a great compilation of articles to reference. I really like the first article you have about SEO (https://medium.com/startup-grind/seo-is-not-hard-a-step-by-step-seo-tutorial-for-beginners-that-will-get-you-ranked-every-single-1b903b3ab6bb) super helpful to get an introduction in it
Happy you like it!
The Pmarca guide to startups. https://fictivekin.github.io/pmarchive-jekyll//
This looks like a great resource! I started reading part 7 (https://fictivekin.github.io/pmarchive-jekyll//guide_to_startups_part7.html) and I think it has a good lesson about why it is so important to build fast and be agile "You are simply probably not going to know whether your initial idea will work as a product and a business, or not."
I love the Art of Product podcast, you feel like you're seeing every step of their journey.
Biased but I'm trying to build madepublic.io as exactly that!
Thanks Chris this is a great resource. I really like the toolbox as a reference to what stacks other startups in the industry are using (https://madepublic.io/toolbox)
