My GitHub Graph Is All Green. My Revenue Graph Doesn't Exist.

I'm a solo dev who has been building in silence for 8 months. Zero successful launches. So I'm learning marketing in public by studying developers who ship AND sell. Want to learn with me?

Starting from zero together. Weekly lessons from profitable devs, no fluff. 

    

  


  
  

    

      
Sound Familiar?

      
These devs said what we're all thinking:

    

    

      

        

          "How does one go about marketing first before building? Keyword research and competitor analysis is one way but that
          goes before building. I know setting up a waitlist could be one way. what other approaches and techniques and ways are
          there that we need to do before starting building ? I feel this topic is really untouched when it comes to indie hacking
          and side projects"
        

      

      

        
"I'm a complete noob in marketing. I don't know WHERE to market, HOW to and HOW NOT TO do it. I am pretty good in
        writing, but I just don't know what to write.
        So my opinion - realization of the problem is very good, but you can't just wake up next morning and become good
        marketer. You have to learn it."

      

      

        
"Great lesson. But it takes one startup to learn it. Had the same experience on my first startup (spent 5 years). This
        time, trying not to make the same mistake. But difficult as a techie :-)"

      

    

  


  
  

    

      
Enough. Let's Learn This Together.

      
After reading hundreds of these comments, I realized we're all stuck in the same loop.
        So I started collecting everything that actually works:

    

    

      

        📧Weekly Email:
        One marketing tactic I learned from profitable devs. That's it.
      

      

        🎯Actually Actionable:
        Something you can try in 5 minutes, not theory to study.
      

      

        🤝We Learn Together:
        Reply with what worked/didn't. I'll share with everyone.
      

    

  


  

    
Who's Behind This?

    

      

        
Hi, I'm Galih 👋

Real talk: I've been coding for 9 years. Built 10+ projects. Total revenue: $0.

      

        The thing is, now I'm going full indie after being laid-off from WeTransfer. It has been 9+ months since the layoff and I still have not made a dime.
        This is not a post to gather sympathy, though, it is just a background of my situation and I am still just as optimistic as I was on day one.
      

      

        I know for long time, years in fact, that distribution is king in this game. 
        However, keeping that mindset switch-on all times is harder as coding is much more fun and comforting.
        But users would not magically appear out of thin air, so we need to do it no matter how much we hate it.
      

      

        So I'm doing something different. I'm learning marketing in public by studying
        developers who actually ship AND sell. Every tactic, every template, every lesson -
        I'm documenting it all.
      

      

        This isn't a course. I'm not a guru or an expert. I'm just a developer who's tired of building
        for nobody, learning alongside you.
