I created a web app that extracts transaction data from PDF bank statements. I talk about it with friends, but often a lot of people think I'm running some sort of data hoarding scam.


So do you make money off of it?


Yes at the moment it makes about $2000 USD per month: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/bank-statement-converte...


Wow, good job!

How'd you make people aware of it?


I tried a few different things: 1. Google Ads - Got users, but was losing money on every click 2. Cold email marketing - Got banned from Gmail 3. Writing blog posts - This helped me jump up the rankings


As someone annoyed with bank transaction import, I’d be interested in hearing more.
