C crave cooky is an app that allows users to create their own recipes. Founder and CEO of crave cooky says he's had a lot of success so far, but has no idea where it will take him in the future. He gives his advice to other indiackers who are considering starting something new. "Try to build something quick and don't waste time like building a big old thing"
When Sam Eaton hears a new idea, it's all he can do to contain his excitement and dive right into the code. So when his sister told him she wanted to start a cookie delivery business, there was never any question that he'd apply his indie hacker skills to help out however he could. And to great effect — today they're selling hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of cookies every month. In this episode, Sam and I discuss the advantages of target your local community as a niche, ways to leverage scarcity and social proof to increase sales, and how software engineers can best apply their skills to selling products in the real world.
