Makers Page

What is Makers Page?

Makers Page is a profile page for indie hackers that aggregates proof of shipping into a public “link-in-bio” style profile. It’s designed to show real projects and verified revenue, so visitors can see what you built and why it matters.

The page connects to Stripe to verify revenue and includes project entries that can be created quickly, with key project details pulled automatically from a submitted URL.

Key Features

• Stripe-verified revenue badge that updates in real time: Connect Stripe so the revenue shown on your profile updates automatically rather than relying on screenshots.
• Project showcase creation from a URL: Add a project by pasting a URL, and Makers Page automatically pulls the title, description, and screenshot for that project.
• Domain-based profile URLs: Point a domain to your Makers Page profile so the profile can align with your own brand.
• Auto SSL and global CDN: When using a domain, Makers Page provides HTTPS via auto SSL and serves content via a global CDN.
• Built-in click and traffic visibility: See which projects get clicks and where traffic comes from, as well as what converts, without adding extra tools.

How to Use Makers Page

1. Start a free trial and create your profile by choosing a username (the profile URL is shown as makers.page/yourname).
2. Add proof of shipping by submitting project URLs: paste a project URL to automatically generate a project entry with title, description, and screenshot.
3. Connect Stripe to enable the verified revenue badge and have it update automatically.
4. Point your domain (optional) if you want your profile to use your own domain, along with SSL and CDN.
5. Replace your link-in-bio in places like your Twitter bio, email signature, or pitch decks with your Makers Page link.

Use Cases

• Indie hacker link-in-bio refresh: Replace a generic link tree with a profile that shows shipped projects and a live, Stripe-verified revenue badge.
• Project launch documentation: Create a public page of your newest projects by pasting URLs; the page pulls key metadata and imagery automatically.
• Investor or partner outreach: Share a profile link in pitch decks or outreach emails so recipients can quickly see what you’ve built and what it earns.
• Content and community sharing: Publish your Makers Page URL across social channels to route interested visitors to verified, project-based proof.
• Performance review without extra tools: Monitor which projects receive clicks and where visitors come from, and use the conversion information to decide what to highlight next.

FAQ

• Is my Stripe data safe? The page includes a section titled “Is my Stripe data safe?” but it does not provide additional details in the provided content. You’ll need to consult the full FAQ or support documentation for specifics.

• Why not just use Linktree or Bento? The page frames the comparison as: Linktree shows what you link to, while Makers Page is intended to show what you built, what it earns, and why people should care.

• I don’t have Stripe revenue yet. Is this still useful? The provided content says the revenue badge is connected to Stripe, but it does not state what happens if you have no revenue. The safest assumption is that the Stripe revenue badge requires a Stripe connection.

• Will this help my SEO? The page includes a question titled “Will this actually help my SEO?” but does not provide an answer in the provided content.

• Can I use my own domain? Yes. The page states you can point any domain to your profile and that it includes auto SSL and a global CDN.

Alternatives

• Link-in-bio/link tree tools (e.g., Linktree-style pages): These focus on listing links, while Makers Page is oriented around showing shipped projects plus a Stripe-verified revenue badge.
• Portfolio sites or lightweight personal websites: You can build a custom portfolio to showcase projects, but Makers Page specifically emphasizes quick project entry from URLs and live revenue verification.
• Standalone analytics dashboards: Analytics-only tools can show traffic and conversions, but Makers Page combines project showcase management with the analytics view on the profile itself.
• Product showcase/landing page builders: Tools that create landing pages can present projects, but Makers Page’s workflow is specifically centered on a single profile with verified revenue and project metadata pulled from submitted URLs.
