   @obrhoff No, I’ve played with that for years and it never made any meaningful difference.
   I think for Indies specifically themselves are the best promotion.

     @obrhoff @frederik Ich verwende kein Insta aber ich vermute mal du hättest das Produkt gegebenenfalls auch anders gefunden und gekauft.
     Oder hat bei dir die Insta Werbung eine direkt Conversion ausgelöst?

     @obrhoff I spent a little on Instagram back in the day.
     I think it was only $300, I didn’t see a blip. Which isn’t really a surprise as all the reading I had done suggested a few thousand minimum.

     However, I did get a troll commenting on the ad asking what my opinion was on some dumb right-wing shit.

     Unfortunately I don’t have the required budget (and capacity to deal with shit) for ads.

     Funnily enough, I did a LinkedIn post and that saw 50-100 sales. But that was around 2018

     I did try some online and print advertising for my #NeoFinder during the last 25 years, but it never really did anything.

     Word of mouth and happy customers are better than ads for #IndieDevs
