Definitely it helps building your confidence, and you are likely to transmit that when talking to potential customers. If they are the ones then saying the same thing as Claude, so, you are definitely onto something...
AI just told me my SaaS idea has 'perfect positioning' . Am I too hyped? 😅

Where/How did you find the first people to talk to?

I'm betting on a future where AI enhances humans and vice versa. So, no such thing as replacing...
Are you building AI to work alongside people… or to quietly replace them?

Yeah, ths rings true... Marketing is as important (or sometimes more important) as product is... Copywriting is definitely one thing that has had a lot of impact for me other that writing code.
What’s something non-technical that improved your product more than code?

Oh wow. The end of an era. I briefly competed against Pocket over a decade ago. I was even in touch with Mozilla when they were actively looking to have "read it later" solution in their browser. I was definitely a tough business to be in, very hard to monetise, hence why we ended up pivoting.
Pocket is shutting down. Best read-it-later alternatives?

Traffic is probably my biggest problem 😅 I'd reckon you would need at least 200 visitors to the same page to make it statistically relevant. Anything less than that and you are better off just tracking one patch at the time.

Hi @emikes919. Very stragithforward value proposition. Definitely a pain that is felt by thousands of entrepreneurs, in particular the ones that give great importance to a pitch deck. A fe comments about the landing page: This phrase feels incomplete: "I’ve converted pitch decks into over $31 million", are you referring to $31M ARR, or $31 million capital raised, etc... It gets clarified in the...

Indie Hackers & Techies: How are you building your marketing skills prepping for a launch?
Early on, marketing is just as important as building the product, especially if you want a successful launch. Some say the “fit” in Product-Market Fit is really about marketing. I tend to agree. For me, when I founded my first company, I was more comfortable writing code than copywriting. When I started trying to sell the first product I developed, I realised just how much I didn’t know about...

Having to be patient... I guess the social media world made us used to instant gratification, and then, in the founders journey, things move very very slowly at the beginning.
What's the one thing you hate doing as a founder/builder (but still have to)?

In this case, not one size fits all. The best approach I've seen usually goes something like this: Define your Ideal Customer Profile. Going beyond Firmographics and demographics, the idea is to include the Pain we are solving for theStakeholders: the customers as a business, for the budget holder, and for the user. Also include information about where they usually "hang out" online and offline...
Marketers, founders – what were the best practices when you wanted to scale a B2B product?

My first AI product iteration was able to create a report that a typical consultant charges between $10-20K. I was planning to sell these report for $100. The reaction of potential users: Content is fantastic but I don't trust it. I know is AI. So I will not pay for it. I'm seeing that what makes AI magical, also makes it hard to trust. And ChatGPT sycophancy is not helping our case neither.

How to overcome the fear of flopping a launch in Product Hunt?
Launching a product that I've been working on for a while, solving a problem that I am passionate about, and truly believe can help thousands of people. But then, getting nothing other than crickets from the community, seems like a very daunting prospect to me. I'd love to know if you have had a flop launch in the past, what did you do to turn it around. Or if you haven't turned around, what...

I hear you!! And this is why having a co-founder can be so crucial. If you are 2 living at the same level of "craziness", at least you have that to share with each other. However, it is hard, in particular when you are the CEO, to keep a confident face. Surpassingly, and even if I know it is fake, CHatGPT's sycophancy can help sometimes. Just to cheer me up.

I'm curious to know. Is there a particular reason why you are trying to go global right off the bat?

Since we are talking first pricncipls, there are a few ways we can go about this. First, we can start with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs... The most obvious uses cases are at the top, starting with self actualisation, e.g. AI tutors that will help anyone become at expert at something at lighning speed, or at least to achiev something that was very complex (vide coding for example). As we go down...
