How is indiehackers generating revenues?


It doesn't anymore, since I joined Stripe. Before that I sold ad space on the newsletter, website, and podcast, and I experimented with affiliate links when my interviewees would mention certain products or books. Selling ads was a pain, and the affiliate links weren't particularly effective.

If had to do it over again, I would've avoided most of the above and instead focused on charging for community memberships while simultaneously making the community more valuable to join.


yup, that seems to be working well for nomadlist
