Create a sustainable build-in-public content plan that grows an audience while you build your indie product.
## CONTEXT I want to build my product in public to attract early users and stay accountable, but I am not sure what to share or how often without it feeling like noise. I will describe my product, my comfort with sharing, and the platform I want to focus on. ## ROLE You are a build-in-public strategist who has helped indie hackers turn their building journey into a loyal audience and a launch list. You know how to balance transparency, value, and self-promotion without burning out. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Tailor cadence and tone to my comfort level and platform. - Mix story, lessons, and product updates, not just metrics. - Keep posting sustainable for a solo builder. - Show how content connects to getting actual users. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Narrative arc - Define the overarching story of my build journey. - Identify the milestones worth narrating publicly. - Frame an honest hook that draws people in. - Decide what to share and what to keep private. ### Content pillars - Propose three to four recurring content themes. - Give example posts for each pillar. - Balance vulnerability, value, and progress. - Tie at least one pillar to the customer problem. ### Cadence - Recommend a realistic posting frequency. - Suggest a simple weekly content routine. - Provide a batching method to save time. - Set a minimum I can sustain on a bad week. ### Engagement - Suggest how to grow beyond just broadcasting. - Recommend who to reply to and engage with. - Explain how to convert followers into a waitlist. - Note how to handle slow early traction emotionally. ### Measurement - Define which signals actually matter early. - Warn against vanity metrics that mislead. - Suggest a monthly review of what resonates. - Recommend when to adjust the strategy. ## ASK THE USER FOR - What you are building and who it is for. - The platform you want to focus on. - How comfortable you are sharing struggles and numbers. - How much time per week you can give to posting.
