#Marketing and #GrowthHacking is such a mystery to me.

In the past month, I've tweeted close to 900 tweets.

That's 30 original, fully genuine tweets or comments a day!

And still stuck at under 70 followers. 🤔

I don't get it. 🤷

Why?
- Manage subscriptions, no scripting needed to push monthly recurring sales items.
- Handy for a lot of niche #saas who don't use online payments.

Day 69. Finally resolved the db problems. To kickstart marketing I need a landing page. Though Im mostly a backend dev, I'll try next js. I want to also have a dashboard for managing the user's companies, API keys etc. @100dayscode #API #Bookkeeping #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Hey, should I study SEO and all of these things related to backlinks as an indiehacker?

How much important it is?

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

To my twitter friends blindly chasing follower count. Type of audience following you matters more than number of followers. It's much better to have 100 true fans rather than 10000 disengaged followers.

Updates to MrrManager.

- Added overall monthly LTV calculation
- Delete a sale & recalc #MRR, #ARPU, #LTV

#buildinpublic #indiehackers #solopreneur

I'll be honest, currently I'm feeling pretty stressed, and Twitter is giving me pretty little joy.

This condition is also clearly reflected in the statistics for the month of May.

So far my worst month ever on Twitter. 🙄

I need a logo! What is your go-to tool or resource for making one for your products? ✨

#buildinpublic #startups #SaaS

Then all the #indiehackers and builders could just focus on their UX without having to build the same backend as everyone else? Thoughts from the #buildinpublic community?

When you have a new project idea, ow do you start it?
#buildinpublic #indiehackers

Let’s say you’ve gotten to $500 MRR and growing, but you have an opportunity to sell for $10k

Would you do it?

#indiehackers #buildinpublic

Added LTV calculation on customer level to MrrManager

its Friday what do you plan to finish today to have relaxed weekend ?

idea guys are worried that someone might steal their idea if they tell them and developers are worried that no one is going to steal it unless they make entire source code of product open and would be happy if someone copies it 🤪 #indiehackers #buildinpublic #developers

🡒 Do you block fake followers?

I do block them. My logic is I don't want tweeps looking at my follower list and seeing a bunch of bots or bimbos.

Your thoughts?

Is being 100% focused on one project the only way to success ? I wonder more and more when I see some succeed in managing several online businesses at the same time.

Do you think it's sustainable in the long term? Especially as a solopreneur?
