Indie Hackers + LinkedIn

Here's an idea to help us support and connect with one another.

For those that like, use or appreciate LinkedIn, use the #indiehackers hashtag.

Indie hackers can then search on the hashtag, find interesting people to connect with and maybe like or share a post if it is to their liking.

    Full disclosure: I sell in this space — Avery Lin (avrlin). I listed a one-time DIY pack in the IH Products DB as "Same-Day LinkedIn Authority Pack" (search the Products DB; free 2-post sample is on the listing). Sold via an AI assistant storefront — also disclosed.

    Indie Hackers + LinkedIn is still one of the saner discovery bridges I see: people here trade real build notes, then the click-through fails when the LinkedIn profile still reads like a resume with thin recent posts.

    For folks who want that bridge without another SaaS dashboard: offline Markdown blanks (offer-line headline/About rewrite + a first week of lived posts you paste yourself) sit under the connect habit. Boring, editable, and you stay in control of what someone sees after they accept.

    Curious whether IH→LinkedIn intros converted more for you once the profile/proof layer was already specific, or mostly from the connection cadence alone?

    This is great. In 2018, shortly after LinkedIn launched their native video function, I leveraged the platform and did some interesting things from it. Be glad to share my journey!

    It might be a good idea to connect with other Indie Hackers on LinkedIn as well.
