One week of building can feel incredibly productive.
One week of trying to get customers can feel painfully unproductive.
Even when the second week is more valuable to the business.
I suspect a lot of builders know exactly what I mean.
What's the most useful app on your phone that isn't made by a huge company?
I want recommendations from people who actually use the product.
Not the apps everyone already knows about.
I think people underestimate how much money is made by businesses that aren't remotely exciting.
Cleaning companies. Specialist software. Boring B2B services. Tiny niche websites.
Meanwhile, everyone wants to build the next billion-dollar consumer app.
Would you choose boring and profitable over exciting and uncertain?
Me opening my notes app to find one specific idea.
Somehow discovering:
- A fitness app
- A budgeting tool
- Three marketplace ideas
- A business model I don't understand
- A note that just says “THIS COULD BE HUGE”
The notes app is the real startup graveyard.
You've got one month to get your first 10 paying customers for a new app.
Which channel are you betting on?
- Posting on X
- TikTok or Instagram
- Cold outreach
- SEO
- Communities and forums
- Paid ads
Pick one. What's your play?
The most dangerous sentence in business:
'People will definitely pay for this.'
Until someone actually pays, it's a hypothesis.
A beautifully designed landing page doesn't count.
Neither does your friend saying it's a great idea.
What's a subscription you would cancel immediately if you weren't worried about losing access to it?
Not the obvious streaming services.
I'm talking about the subscription you keep paying for while quietly resenting it. 😂
I am currently on a holiday in China 🇨🇳
However I always find time for the gym..
If you are serious about something, then you need to take care of it
A business making $1,000/month isn't automatically a bad business.
What if it takes 3 hours a week to run?
What if the customers stay for years?
What if you can sell it later?
Revenue is one number. The whole picture is a different story.
This is so true..
Some people are hitting the rock bottom
People will find out one day that indie hackers:
- Fake MRR screenshots
- Pump each other up in engagement pods
- Manufacture drama to farm engagement
- Pretend to have paying customers when they only have free users
- Count lifetime deals as recurring revenue
- Hide churn while flexing new signups
- Launch products nobody actually uses
- Fake testimonials and customer success stories
- Build in public but hide the numbers that matter
- Copy successful SaaS ideas and pretend they invented them
- Sell courses about building startups instead of building successful startups
- Celebrate $10K MRR while quietly spending $15K a month
- Announce fake waitlists to create hype
- Buy upvotes on Product Hunt
- Cross-promote each other’s launches to manufacture traction
- Call every side project a startup
- Spend more time posting about building than actually building
- Sell the dream of passive income while working around the clock to maintain it
Did I miss something ?
One thing that annoys me about fitness progress:
You can train consistently for months and still struggle to tell whether your physique has actually changed.
That's why comparing photos over time is so useful.
Do you track your progress with photos, measurements, strength numbers, or just the mirror?
If you had to buy a small online business tomorrow, which would you choose?
1. A mobile app with recurring revenue
2. A niche website earning from ads
3. A small subscription SaaS
4. An online store with repeat customers
Assume the numbers are verified.
Your bank account doesn't care how passionate you are about your business.
Neither do your customers.
Passion might get you through the difficult months.
But eventually, someone has to find the product useful enough to pay for it.
After 4 months and 1 week PayPal has finally released my money..
If you are just starting out your journey as an entrepreneur or just want to send money to family/friends every now and then
DO NOT use PayPal
It is the worst payment provider in many different aspects
