Hope you're doing well. Over the past few weeks I've been building in public to prove out one awesome idea I had called Submetrics, a modern metrics dashboard for creators.
Here are the two posts I wrote summarizing the journey thus far:
I've had a few personal items come up and I probably won't be building this idea out. Over the past few weeks I've proven out the concept and idea. I've built up a list of early access users who are interested in using Submetrics.
I'm putting Submetrics up for sale starting today!
The price I'm looking to get is $650, which puts the value of my time at $40/hour which I believe is a solid steal!
DM me on Twitter or send me an email if you're interested!
Landing page: submetrics.co
To be clear, you’re selling the concept and 0 software related to the business logic?
Tough sell but good luck!
Yes correct! It's a proven idea with an early access list, built landing page, great domain, and Figma designs. I already have 5 buys interested and will be selling it today. It is effectively sold at this point. It makes you think the potential indiehacker businesses you could build.
That's an interesting business idea: coming up with business ideas, spending a few hours on them, building some design and brand assets, and then selling them.
Thanks! I think the big part of this type of business working is proving out the idea first. This is what I’ve found to be the hardest part of indie hacking. I’ve essentially created is successful startup idea in a box. Also it sold earlier today! Had 8 interested buyers.
Wow, that's a lot of interested buyers! Congrats on selling, Yaro!
Thanks! It's sold :)
That's a really interesting experiment: how early you can sell your startup. The thing is, de-risking user interest is a very important part of startup building. At the same time, it's very complicated for most of us devs. I would gladly spend time on building something that I'm sure people will need (no, that's not an offer).
The only question is, will these early access subscribers be willing to pay for this?
I hope you have sold it successfully. That will also prove that a startup can be sold at any stage (good news for all of us).
Thanks! yes it sold the same day I listed it haha. This is probably the bare bones stage a startup can be sold. It's one step above a simple idea, but there is actual early access users signed up.
Can you say who you sold it to? Would love to see where they take it
It was someone from Reddit on /r/SaaS
DM me if you have an offer too! The price is not set it stone.
