#179 – Making $280k in Four Weeks with Traf

Listen on Indie Hackers

Synopsis

James 'Traf' Gill, designer and serial indie hacker, made over $100,000 in a single week (about $280k in four weeks around the iOS 14 launch) by designing and selling icon packs in roughly two hours of work. The conversation covers spotting and capitalizing on lucky opportunities, using no-code tools, time-boxing, and 'permissionless marketing' to reach audiences far larger than your own; Traf also launched Super.so (Notion-to-web) and a 'Six Figures in 6 Days' blog post.
