What do you need help with right now?
At the beginning of every month indie hackers share their monthly goals with each other. Now let's discuss the challenges we're all facing to reach those goals!
What do you need help with?
What help/advice/service can you offer others?
Please reply to someone else and help them out — especially if you've requested help yourself!
Luupro, https://luupro.com, the product I've been building for my final university project, has just hit Open Beta. It's a free platform and I really need some early users before I fully release the product!
I'd love to hear any of your feedback and see some of your projects on the platform! Let me know if I can help any of you guys in any way!
I aim for every Indie Hacker SaaS founder/marketer to use https://versoly.com for their landing pages and marketing sites.
If you fit that target audience and are not using Versoly why not? Please be as candid as possible.
Just tried your editor, seems really intuitive! Interested in what stack you've used to build this and how long you've been working on the product?
Thanks.
Frontend is in React.
Started Jan 2019. I had a lot of experience building something similar before and it still took a long time to build.
I know how you feel, I had lots of prior experience building similar products before building https://luupro.com but it still took a long time to complete, I've literally only just launched into Open Beta today.
Have you had any luck with sales / conversions?
Yeah we have a good amount of paying customers and growing fast.
But even fast growth is slow when it comes to SaaS, so we're looking for ways to "leap".
I really need to grow an audience and user base but I don't know how. But it would be crucial for starting my SaaS journey 🥲
I need growth ideas.
I've been writing about emerging markets and need help figuring out growth.
Here are some examples:
🍳 Issue #0001 --- Cloud Kitchens
🎙️ Issue #0002 --- Podcast Memberships
🏠 Issue #0003 --- Co-Living
💸 Issue #0004 --- Income Share Agreements
🥾 Issue #0005 --- Bootstrap Funds
I've tried Twitter, Reddit and IH.
How would you grow this?
Thanks Rosie! These are REALLY solid. Especially:
Thanks so much!
I'm desperately in need of a paid remote internship
If you're looking to grow your Instagram followers for your business, feel free to join our follow for follow community at https://www.followchain.org.
Similar to a site where you can share your startup, followchain is a place to share your Instagram username.
I need help or a piece of advice with creating awareness about my product, SaaS boilerplate https://www.saasforge.dev
The problem is even if I'm creating the content all the time (tweets, FB posts, several blog posts) it brings several users/stars right after that but not later, therefore, I can't consider these materials "evergreen". I'm really puzzled about what I have to do next.
Just checked out SaaS Forge. Some ideas:
Hope this helps
Thanks!
I didn't think about an affiliate program... yet
As for cross-promoting, I have the same audience (primary) for all my products but I will think about it too.
As for a newsletter, I already have it.
Thanks again!
No problem
remote design teams for customer interviews
I could use some help with customer engagement and research.
We’ve been getting a steady number of signups after our re-launch for ProfitKit (https://www.profitkit.io/), but I’m having issues with engaging users via email to find out
To tackle #1 and #3, we’ve recently added an internal survey (different from the survey on landing page) on the bottom right corner of the screen.
To tackle #2, I’m thinking that having dummy data / pre-filled demo data could help? Maybe asking them to immediately connect their Stripe account is too big of an ask?
I’m wondering what else I could do (in addition to email) to start the conversation with users. My cofounder and I have been thinking about reaching out/sending a follow up on LinkedIn or Twitter, but we’re not sure if that’s a good idea?
I want to avoid being too pushy, but at the same time, we're at a stage where customer feedback is invaluable.

On my end, I’m more than happy to offer landing page feedback, general UX advice, tech (Vue + Node, AWS, Stripe) advice, etc. Let me know if you’d like me to test out your app and offer suggestions 😀
Thanks in advance!
I'm pretty convinced if you posted this as an individual discussion here on IH then you'd get some great responses.
That’s great to know, Rosie! Thanks for the feedback 😀
I feel like I’m asking for a lot of advice — which might not be ideal for a comment on a thread. Will definitely go ahead and make a separate IH post soon 👍
My biggest challenge with divjoy.com is making progress on improvements while also actively marketing it to drive sales. I’d love to find someone who has a large audience of developers or freelancers and do a revenue split for traffic they send. I’ve done this with a few people with small/medium size audiences and they’re making a few hundred a month. Just want to find a partner that’s capable of driving significantly more traffic. Any ideas?
A few of the YouTube dev instructors do some paid promotion, but I'm assuming it's up-front payment.
Thanks Blake, I’ll look into YouTube dev instructors and see if there’s an opportunity there.
Hi Gabe,
I have known about you and divjoy since sus of last year.
I believe your product is boxed ie narrow target. React is too complicated for non techies. Otoh what your product exports will need a real developer if it's in any way special . So your target becomes narrow.
So to answer your question the partner that can drive significant traffic to your site just doesn't exist.
Wish you the best though.

Thanks @TeamIH to start this topic
I can help/give advice on product design (landing / platform / app).
Also, if you're looking for someone to brainstorm with just hit me up!
I currently need help with marketing & acquisition strategy planning.
I have one idea, I built https://saaspages.xyz/ and that has been great for leads and reputation in the SaaS space.
Maybe you can do it for ads.
Collect a bunch of the best ads and some tooltips to go with each style.
Good idea thanks @volkandkaya is it time-consuming for you to manage this?
Not really, I should invest a little more time as that would help with growing it I believe.
