I posted my add-on in Heroku Marketplace over a year ago https://elements.heroku.com/addons/knapsack-pro and did not see much organic leads from the marketplace itself. Anyone using Heroku Marketplace as well? Any ideas how did you approach promoting your add-on? Thanks.

One of the hosts of this podcast (https://softwaresocial.dev/) is building a file upload widget and is getting most of their early trials from the Heroku marketplace. Worth a listen and maybe even reaching out to compare experiences

The point is to have a few hundred, or thousand. If it's so niche it only appeals to 10 customers, then see if you can charge $800 p/m or move on.

The trouble with a few hundred customers is the customer service side of operations. Indie hackers are lean machines and having to support a large customer base requires more tasks. Managing churn is also another problem area as you grow which generally requires product development. You quickly lose the indie hacker feels once you get to 50 customers I would say.

One product I made had roughly a hundred companies using it, I got one email in 3 years.

So, um, no.

One of my present products has over 10,000 users (b2c rather than b2b), we get a support email every couple of months.

Really depends on your product I guess, or you've never actually done it and are pulling figures out of your ass.

That's interesting, could you expand on this line a little more: "Our primary work is in remote work for non-desktop people and educational/video space plus a live ecommerce"

Sure, With regards to the non-desktop workforce: 70% of the workforce doesn't sit behind a computer and thus really don't benefit from working from home in most cases and thus we are working on a few projects in that space. We did a test project https://www.realwork.ai which is a tool for frontline workers built for the people in the field rather than the backoffice and allow them to communicate and mange the distrib…

I downloaded the app and tried to sign up, but it said "Invalid request data!" after I submitted the form.

Is it supposed to work ATM?

I've been curating remote jobs from hundreds of remote job boards and directly sending it to job seekers to help during their job search. I'm trying to see how can I use this data to do B2B sales. Is there a market place that I can submit the remote jobs data that can be helpful.

Create a sense of camaraderie that comes from working with real people on your team, even if all remote. I am building a Clubhouse for remote teams, Drop-in audio for work, It’s the easiest way to spark a quick conversation with a single click. https://tappy.so/?ref=rm
