What's your best advice for a new builder?
by
Chris Dolinski
Curious what you think
What kind of marketing do you like? Is posting on Twitter marketing?
Anything other than 'direct sales and SEO' comes under marketing. Yes, posting on Twitter is marketing.
I would say to find and try to solve a problem of your own that isn't already being solved effectively by other solutions. Don't try and reinvent the wheel.
Definitely start by learning from others' experiences and don't be afraid to ask for help within the community. Keep iterating and improving your projects!
Agree - Vibehut.io is a great place for that
Always assume you're wrong, validate everything. Forget marketing, contact potential users directly. Even before you start to build anything, contact 5 people and talk to them about their problem which you think your product will solve. Ask yourself every day - Am I making my decisions based on data?
if you're looking to talk to users Vibehut.io is a really easy way to get feedback

To develop effective solutions, focus on addressing problems that interest you and affect your community. By thoroughly understanding the problem, you can generate impactful solutions that are truly beneficial.
It is important to prioritize marketing and content creation from day 1. Optimize your content for SEO and be patient as it may take time to yield results (it did for me and I'm still working on it).
You will need to promote your product continuously, people won't find it on their own but you'll have to avoid sounding too sales-oriented. Instead, emphasize the potential benefits of your product and how it can meet the needs of your target audience.
These are some of the points I used when building ruttl
Hope these were helpful :)
My best advice for an indie hacker app builder is to start small. Focus on creating a simple but functional prototype that can be used to test the viability of your idea. Once you have established proof of concept, you can work towards building a more comprehensive solution. While building, always be thinking about marketing and how you will grow the product. Additionally, it's important to always keep an eye on the latest technologies and trends in order to stay competitive. Lastly, get feedback from your users throughout the process to refine your product further and meet their needs.
