  1. 10

    Not a very IndieHackers friendly pricing.

    1. 1

      Much much cheaper than any other form of advertising.

  2. 8

    What's the pricing?

    1. 4

      $1,000.00

    2. 1

      Yes, this is a very important questions. I'd like to second it :).

  3. 1

    What is the eligibility to launch our product in IndieHacker

  4. 6

    A 1.5% click rate brings only 1125 visits for $1k. Not really a favorable price.

    1. 1

      that's click rate in the email, not CTA as I see it. This means that you can bring much less visitors.

  5. 4

    This is a great opportunity, I think.

  6. 3

    Hello! the 1.6% clicks are calculated on total opens or total sent? Thanks!

  7. 3

    A couple people commented on the placement. As a subscriber, I actually quite like it. Not too disruptive or visually offensive. It's there if I'm interested and easy to scroll past if I'm not. As a potential advertiser, it feels well-integrated and part of the issue's overall narrative. Great income stream for the newly re-indie IndieHackers!

  8. 3

    I might like to. While the numbers seem to be comparably low, the members or the audience IH has is quite focussed. My money is on it. :)

  9. 3

    Interested. Shouldn't you have an easy purchase system to place ad into your newletter?

    1. 5

      My guess is they want to learn fast about pricing and other things that are much harder to do in a web app for instance.

      I recommend reading "Lean startup" and other startup content to understand why folks make the decisions they do.

      I donโ€™t see why that would be a requirement for those that really want to advertise.

      I can see how they prefer to review the ads carefully to consider whether they are valuable to their audience.

    How to increase Indiehackers friendly pricing

  11. 2

    I have 2 concerns.

    1st. As per the Media Kit, there is a breakdown of the number of people from different countries. I would have loved it if there was an option to choose which country I want to target.
    For example: Let's say I wish to target only US + Canada + UK + Australia. That's Just 42.85% of the total user. I don't wish to pay for the remaining 57.15% of the audience who I am not targeting.

    2nd. I would love to know if these 74,200 subscribers are users or founders or C-level executives. As a B2B business owner, My Ads works best with C-level executives or Founders but not so much with others.

    I would love to pay & promote my business if these things can be managed. Otherwise, it will not be that effective for me.
    Anyone else feels the same?

  12. 2

    Anyone can share the data if you have done the promotion?

  13. 2

    I emailed - never got a reply lol

  14. 2

    Yes I want to do this, how can I buy it in a very easy way?

  15. 1

    can I pay with !,000 dollar cents...?

    :)

  16. 1

    $1000 dollars is probably a bit high for early stage solopreneur : )

  17. 1

    steep but in line with what I'm seeing for most tech newsletter placements these days

  18. 1

    Looks good to begin with !

  19. 1

    CTR is good but overall it pricey.

  20. 1

    Would like to know some details but never got reply from their team, I guess they are loosing a lot of audiences because of their pricing policy

  21. 1

    I'm Interested

  22. 1

    Good opportunity, I think.

  23. 1

    I am building a marketplace that helps startups getting funded - do you have data points showing how many of the subscribers that are raising capital?

  24. 1

    wonderful information

  25. 1

    It should be very powerfull in the right hands.

  26. 1

    Interesting! How does the pricing work?

  27. 1

    The click rate is quite low IMO

  28. 1

    Great Post, while he numbers are also good

  29. 1

    Hmmm the audience is big, this is true but I don't like how the sponsor information is presented. To me, it looks very unnoticeable. It's not a surprise that the open rate is so low.

  30. 1

    does anyone have at least a starting pricing for a one-time feature?

  31. 1

    Numbers are pretty low? A system like PostApex's can be good. This newsletter also can be there. postapex.com

    Or at Boosts: beehiiv.com/newsletter-solutions/monetize/boosts
