How an Indie Hacker Hits 10K MRR With a Product That Sells Only on LinkedIn

Episode notes

In this episode of The Indie Hacker Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the story of a solo developer who built a SaaS tool for LinkedIn prospecting and reached $10K monthly recurring revenue without any website, ads, or social media presence outside of LinkedIn itself. They break down the specific playbook: how the founder identified a pain point around connection request automation, created a Chrome extension that solved it, and used LinkedIn's own messaging system as the sole acquisition channel. The hosts discuss the economics of selling through DMs, the conversion rates that made it work, and why this 'all eggs in one basket' strategy can be both brilliant and risky. They also touch on the platform dependency trap and what happens when LinkedIn changes its terms. A practical, no-fluff look at extreme channel focus for indie hackers. #SaaS #IndieHacker #LinkedIn #ChromeExtension #10KMRR #Solopreneur #SalesStrategy #LinkedInProspecting #ChannelFocus #CustomerAcquisition #OrganicGrowth #PlatformDependency #Bootstrapping #BusinessPodcast #IndieHackerPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology #LinkedInAutomation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
