I hate marketing.

But I need to grow my startups.

So I built a Twitter bot that extracts some data from my SaaS and posts it on Twitter.

9 days after the launch, it has 707 followers and grew revenue by 56%

Background:

I built a link-in-bio tool for developers/solopreneurs — it's called IndiePage. Customers can verify their revenue with Stripe and display it on their profiles.

It's been making anywhere from $1K to $4K/month since I launched it 1.5 years ago.

The Twitter Bot posts every time a customer of IndiePage makes money. The bot tags the maker of the startup and links to her/his website.

It gives them a little extra exposure. It gives IndiePage a little extra exposure too.

I love coding too much. So I find ways to do marketing in symbiosis with my coding drive.

Hey HN,

I use Canny to collect customer feedback and build the right features, but…

1. It’s way too complicated for a solo dev 2. $99/month… really?

So I built a free alternative called Insighto:

- Collect feedback from your customers - Prioritize features - Build a product users love.

I built other stuff. Here are my 20+ products — marclou.com

I thought I found the perfect name but you proved me wrong ah!

Because 1 customer would have to generate 49,000 invoices before I start losing money.

Too many businesses are greedy with subscriptions. I won't join the trend.

Affiliates are getting great results, good luck!

Hard to quantify. But clearly a lot, that's for sure.

I played with ads (cold audience) and it worked well too (~$15K rev for $5K spent) so the Twitter audience isn't 100%
