MAKE Book: The Indie Maker Handbook - Learn to build profitable startups the indie way

You released it finally! Great step-by-step manual for all shippers without any marketing bullshit. Piet has focus on value of the product and profit and I kinda like it! 😎

I don't know of anyone who is as much an authority on bootstrapping and launching product ideas as Levelsio. He's probably also responsible for the plague of 'curated resources' on Product Hunt.

Pros:

Bootstrapping wisdom from someone who lives that life

Cons:

$30 might be a steep price relative to the length

Bought this on pre-order and read the draft. Biggest learning for me - I am not a big company, and cannot spend tons of time doing research and getting to that one fantastic idea. That might sound obvious, even silly, but it was not for me. Recognizing that I am an Indie Maker has made a huge difference to how I do things. This means spending less money, allocating time more efficiently and having much more fun building stuff (rather than doubting myself).

Pros:

For Indie Makers

Cons:

None.

Nice work on this Pieter. Looks great.

I often wonder if there is a chicken-or-the-egg aspect of the type of example Pieter gives with the making of this book. To what degree do you need to already have a large audience to be able to pull off this sort of launch-with-nothing-and-build-it-in-public strategy?

The entire process of building the crowdsourced book is incredible in itself, and Pieter adds on top the obfuscation thing that's never been seen anywhere 😄 This book goes straight in my top books for indies along with Getting Real, Rework, 4HWW, Start Small, Stay Small, Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality

A nobrainer to support Pieter and buy this book. Always have appreciated him sharing his journey, what works and what doesn’t. Said it before and will say it here again, you deserve all the success you’re experiencing right now. Bought this ages ago, can’t wait to read.

Pre-ordered it about two years back I guess! :) It was great to peak into the drafts for inspiration since then but now it's finally in a nice format so I guess I'll like actually read the whole thing now. Thanks Pietz! :)

Congrats @Levelsio. I look forward to reading it

Congrats on launching it! Looks good!
