Who are you and what do you do?

I am Co-Founder of MakerBox. We make products and tools for Indie Entrepreneurs.

Why are you sharing your story?

I want to show that you can start earning money online without building SaaS. Content products are a perfect match for someone who wants to start.

You + NoCode

How did you get into NoCode?

I've been COO at VC-backed startups for 2.5 years. We developed complex products with code, but they failed to find the Product-Market-Fit. That's why I've become interested in No-code and Content products.

Walk us through your NoCode Build process

We created MakerBox Frameworks in 2 months. It's an Airtable list of 600 products with great free plans. We made a landing page on Typedream and integrated Gumroad as a payment method. We moved fast and earned $1800 from the start.

What's your advice for someone just beginning their No Code journey?

Start with a simple product that can be built in under 1 month. Talk about it on Twitter since the first day. Launch on Product Hunt to validate the idea. Charge more than your competitors.

How did you make your first dollar?

We launched MakerBox tools on Product Hunt. We got 700 upvotes and #4 Product of the week. In the first week, we got $1000 and the next week around $800. The average price of the product was $19

What were the results and what did you learn?

We got $1800, 700 upvotes, and #4 Product of the week on Product Hunt. I understood that positioning means everything and great distribution can change everything.

What's your NoCode Stack?
