I asked myself the same thing seeing houses in the middle of nowhere when I was in Arizona. Not even a village like that. 50 miles from any small town. They had electricity but probably not running water. My guess is they mostly do nothing. Slow life.

How I steal customers from competitors crippled by features. There’s a sort of obligation to add features all the time to show a SaaS is active. But after years, it creates bloat. And bloat creates churn. It creates the perfect situation to steal these customers from your

I recently analyzed the BoFu strategy of a bootstrapped B2B SaaS startup. From what they shared, they went from $2.5k MRR to $20k MRR in a year. And looking at their content, it’s not surprising. They have 100+ pieces of BoFu content while ToFu content represents just a tiny

It's easy to dream of extreme freedom and wealth. But working at your own pace consistently allows a simple and stable life with more than enough freedom and wealth in the long term.

I just spent 2 weeks in the national parks of the Colorado plateau and it was amazing! But the return to work is brutal: • 2 projects • 4 new leads • 1 side project I have to work on (video creation about Japan while I'm in Japan now for a month).

There’s a new trend for SaaS homepage videos. Instead of one long boring video, it’s split up into tabs. Videos on homepages are usually: • Autoplaying • Unnavigable • Too long • Badly scripted This format removes a lot of these problems. It’s not too long, you can navigate easily, there’s no sound, and no unnecessary narrative. Provides some of the benefits of an interactive demo too — even though I’d still use an interactive demo if possible. What do you think of this trend?

All these taxes and we don't even have a government.😂

The best B2B SaaS has a target market like that: • Already educated • BoFu keywords get enough search volume but aren't too competitive • Big enough for cold outreach • With a decent budget What else?

Feels like it's never going to happen! In France, you can get a lot of state aids if you're a startup, but it's generally to remove contributions on employee salaries, not suitable for indies. Also the amount of work to get these aids makes them inaccessible to indies.

They've always been completely absent from my feed fortunately. But it's probably because I don't follow as many indie hackers as you.

Also learn to reverse engineer his success. Nobody would have bought his course if he didn't show his expertise (through his own products no less) throughout the years. Being jealous means you don't understand why he was able to make 100k in 24h.

Lots of French indie hackers not in France anymore though.😅

I am obsessed with the rule of three when writing landing pages. I always want things to come in three: pain points, benefits, capabilities, etc... There's a certain aesthetic with this. It feels balanced. But I torture myself trying to fit everything into this rule.

I learned English at school and then mostly through watching subbed tv shows and writing blog posts. For Japanese I self study. When I got really serious at Japanese, I already had a good grip on pronounciation having lived there. For the rest, it was a real struggle and my

Here are 13 patterns to make irresistible comparison pages. I sigh so much when I read comparison pages. They’re usually really bad: • They’re overly biased • There’s barely any real comparison • They don’t make the choice easier for the reader 🧵

Early-stage SaaS should focus on BOFU content for SEO. What's the content? • Product & feature pages • Alternative pages • Customer stories • Use cases • In-depth guides It can rank high and converts like crazy. 3 examples I wrote myself 🧵

Notion is getting out of control with memory usage. Anyone else?

I mean it's great for small companies with no budget. But multibillion companies could be a bit less lazy.

Popular advice to lose weight is to go for high protein. But it makes me feel like shit: tired, aggressive, and always hungry. So instead I went with only carbs during the day. Result? A lot more energy, no cravings, more focus, etc. Slower weight loss, but still some.

Spent the 3-day weekend in bed. Started on Friday night with 36h of fever with no other symptoms before getting stomach cramps. Upside: I've finished FF7 Remake before Zelda's release. Downside: I'm late on a lot of things now and might not be able to play it 😢

Too many developers have too much contempt for marketers. They need to chill out and be more humble.

I don't really believe a $1bn valuation is possible in B2B for a solopreneur. Also is it really possible? You would probably need funding and VCs will want you to hire people. And a $1bn valuation for a bootstrapped solopreneur is almost impossible to achieve. don't think

Update your blog posts! Especially buying guides, they're high-intent and usually you can make them better and more unique than the competitors if you think about it a little bit. A recent update I did: • 3x CTR • 4x clicks • +25% impressions
