Hi, I’m a software developer who works a full-time job but wants to start freelancing. I enjoy indie hacking and had my first failure, but I want to keep building things. Since I don’t currently have any interesting saas ideas, I want to start my freelance business, so in exchange for recommendations and in-depth customer reviews, I’m building three to five startup MVPs.
Hi there!
For my project, I had already hired a devshop, but I wanted an impartial party to assess their performance and give me insight into the codebase. That way, I can resolve any significant difficulties before they hand off to me.
Would you like to do a code review or consultation? I can share the tech stack with you if you DM me.
It should be lighter engagement for you, and you’ll still get a compelling testimonial from me! If you find it interesting, we can explore more paid services down the line too.
I’d be happy to assist you with this. Let’s communicate via direct message!
I can assist you in assessing the development work to ensure that everything is in order and that the ideal product is being shipped to you.
Add me too; we have the same story, but I’d want to participate and have a few thoughts.
Hey, I made a similar post recently, but before that, I had the idea of helping others build their MVPs for free.
Looking back, that wasn’t my best idea.
Instead, I suggest finding a project you’re passionate about or starting with smaller ideas that you can quickly build and showcase. This approach worked for me. Before landing my first client, I had a solid portfolio of products I had built myself as an indie hacker. This portfolio helped build trust and led to more work and positive referrals.
Since you already have a job, you’ve likely gone through a rigorous hiring process, which can also build credibility. Even if building an MVP by yourself is a different challenge, you can leverage your existing job experience to gain trust.
That’s just my take. I’m still figuring things out myself, so do what works best for you. Good luck!
Thank you for the advice. I had previously attempted to create a project, but it was unsuccessful, and I became completely demotivated to create anything else. Therefore, after two weeks of inactivity, I decided to launch this free offer in an effort to maintain and enhance my skills while assisting and interacting with new people who might become paying clients in the future.
Which kind of work appeals to you? I’m starting MVP after my idea has been confirmed, but before I DM you, I want to make sure I have something you’d be interested in.
