I feel like an imposter, so I have to be honest too.
In the last 9 months, I've grown from zero to 2,300+ followers.
I've launched 4 products.
Despite that, I've made...$82.
Yeah, the launches got hype and people say the products were amazing...
But in the end, MRR matters
Right, it's time to be honest.
In the last 11 months I've made a whopping $0! 🤑
I've been living entirely off savings.
I'm frustrated, tired, and a little lost 😅
Here are my 4 failures and what's next:

This is really quite irresponsible of you, Pieter.

2) you’re quoting a far right affiliated account that has repeatedly targeted Muslims and minorities in order to stir hate

I'll launch it on here in 7 days.
Each day, I'll share little tidbits (the name, logo, UI, motivations etc).

99% of the criticism Pieter is getting would evaporate instantly if he just changes the domain to this.
Real therapy is VERY expensive, it can be $75-$150/hour for a good therapist
That means weekly sessions with a real therapist can cost you $300 to $600 per month
Also a real therapist isn't available 24/7, try calling them at 4am? Nights often are the darkest of times mentally,

It's now 2024 and I'm about to launch the next one.

I launched it 5 days ago 🚀
Here are the stats so far:

You can go from nothing to some traction in 10 days.

On Friday, I added a premium tier!
Here's how it's gone so far:
→ 180 visitors

Price is very low atm ($1) but I've had many people suggest I increase it so it'll go up this week to $5.

Don't code first.
When I build a new product, I actually start with research.
Takes 1 hour and helps me see the big picture.
Here's an outline:
- Why build it?
- What's the alternative?
- What does a 1 week MVP look like?
- Where to find my first 10 customers?

Got loads of great feedback from this!

→ People are wary of subscriptions
→ People suggest charging anything from $5 to $30
Despite the poll results, I've actually been convinced to stick with charging per month.

Very mixed feelings.

- waterfalls
- rice fields
- temples
- beach sunset
Dislikes:
- crazy traffic
- very touristy (esp compared to rest of Indonesia)
- taxi scammers (Grab is good tho)
Spoke to some locals and they say tourism is great

If you want to get successful fast as an indie hacker, follow someone just a few steps ahead of you.
Eg if you’re on $0 MRR, follow people at $100 MRR. If you’re on $100 MRR, follow people at $1k+ MRR.
