Community Updates 📣🌏️🌎️🌍️
As you might have seen already, we’re upgrading the Indie Worldwide Slack. The end goal is a smaller, more valuable, and more intimate community:
- Focus the conversation 💬
- Remove clutter/mental overhead 🤯
- Make the space a bit cozier overall 😌
Indie Worldwide should feel like a group of trusted friends not like a public forum. The Slack should be a space to come to for candid feedback & advice not self-promotion. So, here’s what to expect over the next couple weeks…
- You’ll see the total number of members (currently over 4,000) drop pretty quickly as we remove inactive accounts.
- Samantha will continue to help make intro’s and start discussions.
- The channels might get removed/combined/renamed
If you’re currently a paying member or have posted in Slack anytime in the last 3 months, then don’t worry, you will not be removed. If that's not you, make sure to hop back into Slack to keep your account active.
If you’ve got any suggestions, feedback, or questions we’d love to hear it! Respond directly to this email and let us know what’s up.
Promoted Product ⭐️
Build sophisticated web applications to your customer’s exact needs with a low-code platform. PHPRunner enables you to create robust, dynamic, and secure applications up to 20 times faster than traditional software coding.
Upcoming Event 🌏️🌎️🌍️
Next week learn the magic sauce that turns startups duds into rocket ships: a good customer management system.
If you’ve never done sales before, don’t worry, this workshop is going to get you started on the right foot.
And if you have done a lot of sales before this, this will be a great opportunity to make sure you’re getting the most out of every lead.
