BOOM! Welcome to my TED talk 🎙️

Might be the first indie hacker to do this and give the community the stage it deserves.

My 15+ years of entrepreneurship has been a rollercoaster.

But I'm so glad I've ended up here.

@Tech_Over_Lord @asaio87 What do you mean?

Who's gonna tell him to focus on one and market it better?...

Quit my job 6 months ago. Already 4 apps on the App Store, still stuck at 100$MRR and talking to myself on X🫪

@akothari @ivanhzhao @NotionHQ @ivan Great work! I'm curious, how are you ensuring your SEO equity transfers over?

We've been complaining about X for years now.

Saying we're going to move to bluesky/threads bla bla

But hey, we're still here...

@pcshipp One polished app, how do you have time to do marketing properly for 100+ apps ?

[Baretto (tiiny.com)⚡ @_baretto]

There's a lot of toxic normalisation of a founder's journey.

I built a $1M ARR start-up without:

- Going full-time (initially)
- Remortgaging my house
- Spending all of my savings
- Grinding 20 hours a day

Work hard, but you don't have to sell everything including your soul.

One of the KEY reasons tiiny is successful:

We speak to at least one customer a day.

How many do you speak to? 🧐

Marketing at it's finest.

AI music generation packaged up for a specific use case.

Marketed with social proof.

Erm how do you even spend 10k on one ride?

Can I ride London to Bali?
