Created a "Start Here" Page for New Indie Hackers

It's tough to know where to start out as an indie hacker. The good news is, you're not alone. In fact, hundreds of new indie hackers get started every day—I know because we've been counting!

Indie Hackers: Start Here

There's literally never been a better time to get started, so today we're launching a new "start" page to serve as the ultimate guide for brand new indie hackers.

Not only does it link to some of the best articles on the web, but it also showcases live discussions involving other fledgling founders who are going through the same steps. The goal of the page is to be part motivation, part education, because you need both to get started.

In just the first two weeks of 2020, over 800 indie hackers have taken action to get started on their dreams. I'm sure by the end of the year and certainly the decade, there will be many tens of thousands! 🎉

We're going to be tweaking and improving this page all year long, and watching to see how high the numbers go. Follow along, and feel free to send it to your friends or colleagues who might be curious about starting a profitable online business of their own.

    I LOVE the Start Here page. I'm wondering though, I went through it and felt like it "just ended". I was surprised there wasn't a "Step 7: Share a Milestone" or something else. It felt incomplete. I feel like it should have a full loop - n00b indie hacker to "full indie hacker". When do you know you made it?

    Missing steps I might add:

    • milestones
    • get interviewed on the podcast?

    Just sharing thoughts - but again, really love it!
