Will this Audit Nomad idea work?

For the past year, I've been building an appointment scheduling tool as a side project. Besides designing and coding it up, marketing and growing the product has been a great joy. I learned a ton and managed to grow the project to +30k users through some cool marketing tricks. As I like helping people, I'd now love to share my knowledge and help other indie hackers grow their products. But before we get to that, first a little backstory.

📜 Backstory

A year ago I was searching for a privacy-friendly analytics solution. As I worked my way through all available products, I found Pirsch. Pirsch seemed to tick almost all boxes of my, admittedly strict, list of requirements. Having some questions about event tracking functionality, I emailed the Pirsch team. No more than 15 minutes later I got a super detailed reply from Marvin, cofounder of Pirsch. Even pointing to their public GitHub Discussions if I wanted to request additional features.

💡 Inspiration

And so I did. 30+ feature requests and bug reports, hours of video calls, progress sharing, brainstorming marketing tactics, and casual chatting later, we figured it'd be fun to meet up in real life. When I started planning the journey to my German neighbors, creativity struck. What if I didn't just visit Marvin and Daniel from Pirsch? What if I used this opportunity to help more indie hackers polish their products while creating new friends at the same time?

🚀 Idea

Meet the Audit Nomad. Together we'll take a look at your product and discuss which design, positioning, copywriting or product changes can be made to boost your product's growth. I'll help you take the next steps with your product in exchange for a few days' stay and some food. Sounds fun, right? If you're the indie hacker in need of a product audit and love to join this adventure, hit me up and I'll come by!

💭 What do you think?

What do you think of this idea? Will it work? Or is it the worst idea ever? 😅 Please let me know in the comments. 👇

PS: I'll be sharing the journey on Twitter! Basically free marketing for your project. 😉

    If it's just for food and a few days stay, it's a nice idea. You could probably charge people eventually given enough testimonials and such.

      Good idea! That's something I'd been thinking about as well.
