I built a growth newsletter for impatient indie devs - do 1 rep today, see yoru saas grow

Published 2025-09-28

I noticed something.

The TenK 6 methodology works well for disciplined indie devs. But for impatient ones, it doesn’t. They’ll try one step, maybe two, and then stop.

After watching this happen, I killed a dozen plans (and two experimental builds) and landed here: TenK Reps.

Bit-sized growth tricks with immediate payoff. Perfect for the impatient builder persona. Unlike the other newsletters, I call each issue a rep. Pretty much like you do ten push-ups at gym. Actionable, quick action, and more importantly, no fluff.

Right now, it’s just a lightweight newsletter — no tight integration into the TenK core app yet. But feedback has been strong: in interviews, users said they’d actually pay for this.

Here’s an example rep: 👉 Write Your Story Tweet

Follow strategies like this for a few weeks, and you’ll grow your X audience — more traffic for your product.

Question: would you rather keep reading TenK Reps as a newsletter, or see it integrated into the indie10k core system (so you can attach evidence and track how reps connect to growth goals)?
