I got featured (again) on Indie Hackers!

@victor_crum List your product, post updates/changelogs or even summary of blog articles and link to the original, and certainly keep the MRR feature updated or link your Stripe to it- they want to interview makers/founders of products that are generating revenue and interview them on how they got to where they're at.

@rick_mason3 After adding NVSTly as a product on their website and showing our monthly revenue, I received an email from one of their writers asking to do an article about the product. Of course I said yes. Not long after it was published he asked if I'd like to do a more personal interview, which is this one that has just been published.

@thestarkster Utilize their platform, add your product and make posts with updates on your product. I also believe once your product hits a certain level of revenue they will seek these products out to talk to their founders. Cool thing is, if your product uses Stripe you can link it to IH and show your verified revenue- even more of a reason for them to want to reach out. Be interesting, answer questions honestly, don't polish your answers too much with a 3rd party grammar tool or AI either.

@abhra_ch Appreciate the kind words!

@richw Most welcome man. 😊

@brigid_stewart The questions they asked had a lot of specifics on our revenue, expenses, etc. From how much money we make from each revenue stream, to how much we spend on expenses and operation costs, and what the profit is after. They wanted to know what led up to the creation of the product.

@naomigarcia For someone wanting to start out I always recommend to first paper trade or demo trade, aka simulated trading. Then learn and practice a strategy through paper trading, once you're profitable you'll be confident to using your actual capital. To minimize my losses I set a few rules for myself. - Take profits when I can, I close half my position at 10% gains, then 80% left of my position at 20% gains, and set a stop loss on the last bit of my position above my break even mark- so even if price drops back down I'm still closing for profits, and if price keeps running I can grab those additional profits. - Never enter a position to make up for a loss, have a reason for each one. Use your technical analysis to help make the decision on that reason. - A rule of thumb is never to use more than 2% of your balance on a single position- I personally will use up to 10%.

@julia_watson3 They reached out to me shortly after listing my product on their website and keeping the MRR updated, I also post updates/changelogs or some of our blog articles on our product page on IH.

@larry_kim3 Not really, I just added my product to IH and updated it with our MRR and they reached out.

@lisa_stanley Add your product to Indie Hackers, post your updates or changelogs on your IH product page as well. Also keep your MRR updated on it, or connect Stripe if you use it.

@lisa_stanley Tbh I'm not a an active users within the IH community, but I did add my product and I post updated on the product page, and I keep the MRR updated.
