You’re teaching codes to kids.
But where’s the content? I didn’t saw anything related to curriculum, methods, and teachers.
Who are the teachers?
Before jumping into UI design updates, provide some value, there’s not much information that will attract me to sign up.
Provide the below items 👇
What are you building actually?
Like I’m a designer, if I have to build a SaaS product, I might need to partner up with a Developer. Or, I need to hire someone and do the work. I don’t have much technical knowledge it will be tough.
Plus, If you’re a developer, you might need a designer as a partner, to design the SaaS. Or, you can use some design library to release the MVP.
The questions is, what are you up to? What are your domain expertise?
I liked how detailed you wrote about your problems. Most of the users just write within 4/5 lines with no context.
However, you can start with making plugins and selling them on platform like codecanyon. No design skills are needed.
I do need to publish a couple of more posts to decide on this.
Out of my 7 posts, only one went viral. Other posts got 400-2k+ views each.
I need to post 10-15 more posts to analyze which time is the best to post.
What is your app about?
I think you should have included more info in the post, so that we can provide valuable insights.
Yes, that is true happiness.
But remember don’t jump into solutions what your users say all the time.
You need to list down all the features your users are asking for, prioritize them, analyze them, and then start building.
You need to avoid Feature Creep as a young entrepreneur. Good luck.
Are you trying affiliate marketing on a commission-based?
If you have good sales experience, you can hook yourself into high-value products. Ping the SaaS founders they are looking for a partnership on commission based for each customer/client you bring.
Remember, every indie hackers are looking for marketers, sales people to partner with on commission-based.
I’m also from a third-world country.
It’s easy to blame others when I can’t make the advancement I’m aiming for. Though I know there are some tough situations.
In my country, I’ve seen hundreds of Entrepreneurs making millions by Facebook Page not even a website.
One of the common things in 3rd world countries are dense population. So you can reach with your products to a wider audience.
As you have sales expertise, source products that you feel are unique and sell. Take a few courses if necessary.
An experienced guy like you can make more I believe.
What are your skills?
Are you a designer? a developer? a plumber what are you good at?
If you don’t have any particular skill, then start doing some laborious work, earn some and start investing in gaining skills.

Only SaaS products? Can I share my subscription based design services?
May be you’re target audience isn’t correct.
I had experience dealing with consumer products. I had to face backlashes when my targeting is incorrect. People starts to misbehave. In that case I don’t bother, as they will never be my customers.
Respectfully avoid them.
Hello,
I would love to see your portfolio. It doesn’t matter how many years of experience you do have, it’s how much you grew, what are your skills, how are you positioning yourself.
Try posting on X, LinkedIn, Dribbble, and Behance. Let me know what methods are you trying to showcasing your work?
There are services that offer $4990 & $6490. It all depends on your experience and business position whom you target as your clients.
Yeah probably. These are also some marketing and UX gigs.
Great news. Glad you got some traction.
I do run a DaaS (Design as a Subscription) business. I launched on several platforms like HackerNews, Indie Hackers, Reddit, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
I also don’t have many followers on social media. But I got a hit post on Reddit.
I posted a couple of articles on multiple subreddits. Out of them, r/SideProject worked really well. The post got 17k+ views and counting.
I got almost 500+ visitors from that post, but not any conversion yet.
I will give another try to HackerNews.
That’s upsetting but True.
These are the little tweaks marketers and UX guys do.
It’s not always based on lies, but with twisted facts.
Thank you. You raised a good point 😊
Here’s my rational thinking behind this 👇
Before jumping into the pricing section you need to elevate the client’s interest to work with you. It can be with your landing page, portfolio, testimonial, or a 15-minute intro call.
Let’s talk about pricing, suppose you need to hire a full-time designer and you’re from the UK and the US, you need to pay more than $5000 a month even for 2-3 years of experience designer. Plus, you need to provide benefits.
If you’re considering hiring remotely from ASIA, nowadays you won’t find an experienced designer below $2000, hiring remote designers starts from $2500-$3000 a month.
Plus, hiring full-time might take months to onboard a talented designer, and if you find out he/she is not suitable for you, you can’t lay off him within 3-6 months in most cases. Now calculate the financial loss.
Considering hiring a freelancer? 😯
Suppose you need a logo, a business card, a 12-page website, and some marketing materials like Facebook posts, Linkedin posts, etc.
Now you need to look for freelancers, might need to hire 2 freelancers, and need to estimate/bargain each item’s price separately. Now calculate the total price, it will be more than $2500.
🏆 Why subscription business is better? 🏅
✅ You can research 10-15 design subscription businesses within a couple of days. Jump into a call with all of them within a week.
✅ If you’re not still convinced, I do offer a trial package of 14 days for $490 only. It’s super cheap to test out a design agency or 11 years experienced designer like me.
✅ Onboard designer in hours
✅ Get designs within 48 hours
✅ No month-to-month contract, cancel or pause anytime.
I understand your question, but when you connect all these dots you’ll find it super cheap and affordable.
Now tell me is my pricing high? 👇
Yes, Sideproject worked the best for me.
But not all posts in Sideproject did well. Maybe timing and content type both need to be accurate.
