This strategy is so baked into people's head that when you actually build something and toss a url out there where they can download the product, they ask you where they can subscribe to the waiting list.
And I'm like what kind of waiting list, there's literally a download button on the page.
Makes me think if the strategy really works - like for everyone - or it's just for indie hackers who already know about this.
I'm not a big fan of waiting list. You can grow them pretty easily, but it doesn't mean you will make a great launch.
I prefer selling from day 1 (like with real money in the bank). It works not only for IH but for everyone else. The easiest way to do it is by selling a service that you'll transform into a SaaS if you get sucessfull
