Not looking to promote my site here but I will do it anyway because it may be useful for you: https://microfounder.com

There are currently 200 founders making $1.6M per month with their solo startups.

Question: How can your platform help me besides rendering me in awe of other founders?

Motivation? Show that it's possible?

One thing is motivation – to show that it's possible and many solo devs are running profitable interent startups.

But also, you can read Q&A-s with the founders about how they started, got their first customers, etc.

Yet, people don't need motivation. They need to make movements. Deciding to do something is not the same as doing it. I can still see the value in learning what others are doing. It may offer ideas and most of them market-related, such as letting you know that, yes - there is an active market here for similar ideas/audiences. To me, that's the biggest take-away and perhaps the greatest question since it is foolish to build something and then struggling to find an audience for it. This contrasted with finding the market first, studying them, and then building out a solution around what that audience has objectively expressed as needs and wants.

Why should i join microfounder and not stick with indiehackers which is free?

Why not both for SEO and backlinks?

In response to someone who is explicitly uninterested in billion and million dollars ideas, you share a site about people making roughly 20 million a year?

I’m not singling you out, since this happens allllllll the time, but I truly wish you or anyone could articulate why you thought it would be helpful to share something that was by definition unhelpful or “off topic”.

Truly breaks my brain trying to fathom this behavior.

Sorry, I should have said collectively. 200 devs are making collectively $1.6M per month (most doing < $5k/mo)

Thank you!
