Ask Indiemaker is where you ask for help, feedback, or advice. Keep it concrete, actionable, and useful for the community.
✅ On Topic
- Feedback on a landing page, pitch, or feature.
- Input on pricing, onboarding, or growth experiments.
- Advice on tools, tactics, or playbooks you’re trying.
- Questions about selling, buying, or exiting small projects.
- “Has anyone tried X?” or “What’s the best way to do Y?”
❌ Off Topic
- Vague posts with no real question.
- “Can someone do this for me?” (That belongs in Jobs & Gigs).
- Self-promotion disguised as a question.
- Rants without a clear ask.
👉 If it’s not a clear, direct question the community can answer, it’s not an Ask.
🛠️ How to Post
- Title format: Start with Ask: (example: Ask: Is $29/month too high for a solo SaaS tool?).
- Be specific: The sharper the question, the better the answers.
- Give context: Share what you’ve tried, what you’re stuck on, or what’s at stake.
- Don’t overexplain: Keep it tight. Nobody wants a 2,000-word essay.
- Respect the difference: If you’re really just showing something, post in Show IM. If you’re hiring, post in Jobs & Gigs.
💬 In the Comments
- Answer with clarity. If you’ve done it, share how.
- Be constructive – critique without condescension.
- No spam, no upsells.
🔁 Updates & Reposts
- Circle back to share what you did with the advice. People love to know outcomes.
- Don’t repost the same question every week.
- If the situation changes, reframe and ask again.
🚀 Wrap Up
Ask clearly. Answer honestly. Pay it forward.
That’s how the best discussions happen here.
