So I built a marketing tool designed especially for indie developers. It’s very low-cost to use, but it can help you get results quickly. Here’s how it works:
1.Click the link below and log in. 2.Enter your product’s website URL. 3.Get a complete marketing plan (just like one created by a marketing partner). 4.Choose to execute the plan or modify it. 5.Monitor the results in the dashboard and see how many people start visiting your website.
