Orel Zilberman quit his job to become an indie hacker, and then built 9 projects and made… nothing. And then everything changed with his latest product, WriteStack, an AI writing tool now generating thousands in revenue.
In this conversation, we dig into the messy reality of quitting your job to be an indie hacker and building in public. Orel shares how customer feedback completely pivoted his product direction, why he spends time daily DMing strangers who engage with his work, and how he balances running WriteStack with maintaining his Substack (the IndiePreneur) where he openly shares his journey every step of the way.
