How to build a brand for your indie product - Marie Ng, Llama Life

Marie Ng is the founder of Llama Life, a to-do-list app that helps you focus. As someone who struggles with focus myself, Marie’s app looked to be the perfect thing. Having taught herself how to code 2 years ago, after a career in branding, Marie did what everyone does when they learn to code, build a to do list app. But with her branding background and new quirky angle on a productivity app, she’s made it work. From a solo indie project to now raising a $690k pre-seed round, Marie is making her entrepreneurial dream happen.👉 Extended version of this episode.What we discussed in this episode:How Marie got into brandingWhat is branding?Why indie hackers should consider their “brand”How to create a brandBuilding a product to help with ADHDBuilding to solve your own problemHow to work with ADHDLlama Life’s brand impactWhy Marie raised fundingRecommendationsBook: Honest Guide to Indie Making by Kyleigh SmithPodcast: The Best One YetIndie Hacker: Carl PoppaFollow MarieTwitterFollow Me👉 Listen to my new podcast, No More Mondays.TwitterIndie Bites TwitterPersonal WebsiteBuy A Wallet2 Hour Podcast CoursePodPanda (hire me to edit your podcast)Sponsor - Ramen ClubMy favourite community has just got a significant upgrade as it rebrands to Ramen Club, the best community to help you get to Ramen Profitability.Ramen club has 4 remote coworking sessions a week, masterminds, accountability calls, live AMAs, a fractional CFO, in-house VA, discounts and so much more.
