Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is judged case by case. Post flair is required.
- No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion: Share your projects, but ensure posts add value to the community (e.g., explain your process, lessons learned, or challenges faced). Avoid posting repetitive links to your product, blog, or services. Promotions for courses, tools, or services must be disclosed and should align with community interests.
- Stay On-Topic: Posts should be relevant to indie hacking, entrepreneurship, startups, or personal projects in the Indian context. Suitable topics include: - Sharing your indie hacking journey. - Product updates, launches, and milestones. - Questions or discussions about tools, resources, or strategies. - Marketing, growth hacks, and monetization advice. - Challenges or cultural nuances specific to Indian indie hackers.
- Showcase and Share Knowledge: Celebrate your wins! Share product launches, revenue milestones, or unique strategies. Don’t hesitate to share challenges or failures—this is a learning space for all. Provide detailed posts when asking for feedback or advice.
- Keep It Relevant to India: Highlight India-specific aspects of your indie hacking journey—local markets, cultural considerations, or legal challenges. Discussions about payment gateways, taxes, or growth strategies specific to the Indian ecosystem are highly encouraged.
