Ask HN: $1k+ side projecters, what was the best thing you did to market it?
Hi Tapha! I run Indie Hackers (<a href="https://IndieHackers.com" rel="nofollow">https://IndieHackers.com</a>), a site where I interview the founders of profitable business and side projects. I just passed $1k revenue this month (you can follow along via my timeline here: <a href="https://IndieHackers.com/blog" rel="nofollow">https://IndieHackers.com/blog</a>).<p>My number one marketing approach <i>by far</i> has been to tailor the site to the HN audience.<p>I do this primarily by asking questions that people on HN always like to see answered (how much money are you making? how did you come up with the idea? what tech did you use? what are your best marketing channels? etc). Lots of similar sites don't ask any of these questions, especially not the revenue one.<p>I tend to share the most interesting interviews with the HN audience every couple weeks or so, and they usually do pretty well!
