How a Solo Dev Used Twitter DMs to Find First Paying Customers

from The Indie Hacker Podcast with Fexingo: Solo Developers, SaaS Side Projects, and Independent Tech · host Fexingo

Episode 37 of The Indie Hacker Podcast dives into a specific growth channel that's often overlooked: direct messaging on Twitter. Lucas and Luna break down how a solo developer used cold DMs to land five paying customers in two weeks, hitting $1,200 MRR before building a landing page. They walk through the exact DM script, the objections faced, and the pivot from 'asking for feedback' to 'asking for money.' No ads, no SEO grind — just one person having real conversations. Plus, the hosts discuss why this approach works better than forums or cold email for certain SaaS niches. A tactical episode for anyone tired of building in silence. #IndieHacker #SaaS #SoloDev #CustomerAcquisition #TwitterDMs #ColdOutreach #Bootstrapping #MRR #ProductLaunch #NoMarketingSpend #Tech #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #IndieHackerPodcast #SoloFounder #Sales #OrganicGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
