I hate marketing.

But I need to grow my startups.

So I built a Twitter bot that extracts some data from my SaaS and posts it on Twitter.

9 days after the launch, it has 707 followers and grew revenue by 56%

Background:

I built a link-in-bio tool for developers/solopreneurs — it's called IndiePage. Customers can verify their revenue with Stripe and display it on their profiles.

It's been making anywhere from $1K to $4K/month since I launched it 1.5 years ago.

The Twitter Bot posts every time a customer of IndiePage makes money. The bot tags the maker of the startup and links to her/his website.

It gives them a little extra exposure. It gives IndiePage a little extra exposure too.

I love coding too much. So I find ways to do marketing in symbiosis with my coding drive.

Great idea, but this works only if you have your clients Twitter accounts.
