Don& #39;t be scared to ask for feedback, the indie community here is awesome, make good use of it.

DM everyone asking them for feedback, the replies may be delayed, but you sure will get a lot of points https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">

BUILD IN PUBLIC. This is the single most important point I cannot stress enough. It has benefitted me, it has benefitted the greatest indie hackers you admire, and...

It will help you too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌈" title="Regenbogen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenbogen">

Create hype around it. People will only be excited if you are.

Don& #39;t be shy of calling your product cool/great.

Trust yourself before you expect others to trust it! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol">

Ask questions. It& #39;s your first product, nobody expects you to be a pro at stuff. It& #39;s okay, and even encouraged to ask questions and learn.

But asking good questions is a must so you learn as much as possible, ASAP https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">

Fuck research, just ship it. Trust me with this, works wonders for most https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">

Ship it, get feedback, improvise, then repeat https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔁" title="Nach rechts und links zeigende Pfeile in offenem Kreis im Uhrzeigersinn" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts und links zeigende Pfeile in offenem Kreis im Uhrzeigersinn">

Don& #39;t use webforms for anything. Use twitter DMs wherever possible. It& #39;s sooo much better.

It enables two-way, continuous, and personalized conversation, better for both parties https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">

Reward people to give you feedback.

Give them a discount, give them a shoutout or anything that shows them it really helped and you appreciated it! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">
Some bonus misc points:

→ Always have an email list
→ Always have analytics set up
→ Have a consistent vibe https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">
→ Be personal, using & #39;we& #39; as the pronoun isn& #39;t really cool :)
