Founders

started wondering what % of twitter indie hacker influencers' MRR comes from other indie hackers - many of the products I see cater to that scene.

let's build clank.fun. prev: web3 founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

good point re. marketing. I agree that it's not necessarily bad - but starts to feel zero-sum across the whole community if it's really as high as 50%.

i’d guess high, 20-50%

only other founders care about your mmr, so if you use it for marketing, you will be inevitably selling to other founders (which is not necessarily bad)

been thinking about that as well, it's interesting

indie hackers are prolly 90% of their audience, but they are bad customers (low spendable income, high churn)

similar to the YC ponzu, SaaS startups selling to SaaS startups

I would say most of the indie hackers on X are catering towards other indie hackers. The percentage would be more than 50% imo
