2. Find indie creators earning $5k-12k/month from their projects.
3. Offer them a salary that's 2-3x their current revenue.
Mosts indie creators have an annual revenue goal in mind ($120k, $200k, $300k).
Many of these indie makers would be unbelievable employees, but aren't currently looking at job postings.
Make them an offer that helps them achieve their financial + freedom goals to entice them!
Hiring managers are missing out on incredible people who, by "working in public, have proved what they're capable of.
You don't even need to schedule a call to "get to know them!"
Just DM them & make them an offer: "Hey, if we paid you $200k/year, would you come work for us?"
I don't buy this narrative that indie hackers don't have good team skills or "wouldn't make good employees."
Sure, they're escaping something (bad bosses, bad pay, boring work), but you (as an employer) can create a positive environment that encourages autonomy, creativity, etc.
In my 20s-30s all my followers were my age, but now I’m 40 and most of y’all are still 20-30s?
Folks in their 40s-50s have been making stuff on the internet since the early 90s, but soon we’ll all be working for 22 year-old billionaires who got rich minting NFTs and buying dogecoin. 😅
I just got access and tried to submit a new podcast RSS feed.
Here's how it went...
It took about 10+ hours before I was able to get access to my existing Apple Podcasts Connect account and see the podcasts I already had active on Apple Podcasts.
Overall, the new interface feels cleaner. 👍
For existing podcasters, the biggest improvement is Apple Podcasts' new analytics.
You can drill into each episode, and see where listener drop-off occurred.
Really helpful feedback if you're trying to optimize your show. 💯
