What do you do outside of indie hackers?
While working on the next biggest thing, what are you doing to make ends meet?
I do a whole range of stuff like supporting old custom software (that's actually my number 1 income!), flying drones, editing videos and writing promotional scripts.
I work for a software telecoms company 9-5 as a support manager/project manager/developer
I do consulting.
Specifically, social proof consulting.
Companies doing $15k-1.5m MRR come to me to grow their business by 2-10% with my social proof framework.
I don't really do any outbound client acquisition - I'm pretty busy with my S4F course. But normally I'll get 1-2 referrals or inbound requests each month. Which is nice and helps keep the lights on.
Plus, I find it so exciting to get a look into so many different kinds of companies. This year alone I've seen deep under the hood in a 'cheap flights' business, ecommerce, subscription boxes, B2B SaaS and more.
I'm a freelance Laravel dev working fully remotely.
I am currently working as 9-5 as Digital Marketing Analyst in a Startup. Side time I am working on writing Ebooks and starting with Affiliate Marketing.
I hold a 9-5; working with Vuejs and PHP. Side gig is React (Nextjs) + Nodejs
I give kudos to the guys grinding it out. It's tough to do much outside a full time job. Takes a healthy mind and body to push through.
