You build. Your audience pays. You earn.

indie.money is a marketplace where n8n builders publish workflows and AI agents, and earn every time someone runs them.

We're looking for 5 founding builders to co-launch with us. Not affiliates. Not reviewers. Builders who want to turn their workflows into a revenue stream.

What you get

Featured placement. Your workflows go to the top of the marketplace at launch. First-mover visibility while the catalog is small.

Technical build support. Philippe (founder) works directly with you over email to get your agent deployed. Architecture, testing, debugging. Not a support ticket. A direct line.

No API key needed. The platform provides the AI key. You set your markup. Your audience pays per message. You keep the margin.

Founding builder status. Named partner on the platform. Not just another seller. You get a say in the roadmap, early access to features, and your name attached to the product from day one.

Three revenue streams from day one.

StreamHow it works
Workflow salesYou set your price per execution. You keep 100% of execution revenue. 10% fee on withdrawal only.
AI marginYou set a markup on the platform API key. Every message your agent handles, you earn the spread.
Partner rewards5% of every deposit from users you refer. 90-day window. No cap.

Real example. You publish a lead enrichment workflow priced at $0.10/run. 100 people run it 10 times each. You earn $100. If your AI agent handles 500 messages with a $0.02 margin, that's another $10. No monthly fees. No revenue share. Just usage.

$149 in free passes. 30 Listing Passes + 30 Feature Pass days to get started. That's 30 workflows listed and a full month of featured placement, on us. No pass anxiety. Just build.

What we need from you

Publish at least one workflow or AI agent before launch. It can be something you've already built. We'll help you package it.

Share it with your audience. A video, a post, a tweet. Something authentic. No script required. Just show what you built and how it works.

Give us honest feedback. Tell us what's broken, what's missing, what would make you use the platform every day. Your input shapes the product.

What this is NOT

Not an affiliate program. Affiliates share links. Founding builders ship product. You own what you build.

Not exclusive. Your workflows can live on other platforms too. No lock-in.

Not a commitment. If it doesn't work for you, walk away. No contracts. No minimum.

Who is this for

You're a good fit if:

  • You build n8n workflows or AI agents (not just tutorials about them)
  • You have an audience (YouTube, LinkedIn, newsletter, community) of any size
  • You've thought about monetizing your workflows but haven't found the right channel
  • You want to be early to something, not late

How it works (the short version)

  1. Email philippe@indie.money with what you build
  2. We figure out the fit async. No calls needed. We move fast over email.
  3. You pick a workflow or agent to publish
  4. We help you deploy it on indie.money
  5. You share it with your audience
  6. You earn every time someone runs it

Current state of the platform

We're pre-launch. That means there are bugs. You'll hit rough edges. We fix them fast, and we want your reports.

Here's what matters: once a workflow is working, it works. The execution layer runs on serverless infrastructure, which means it scales without you thinking about it. No server management, no traffic limits, no downtime worries. Your workflow handles 10 runs or 10,000 runs the same way.

We're building in public with founding builders, not shipping a polished product to passive users.

FAQ

**How many active buyers do you have?**We're pre-launch. That's the honest answer. Founding builders get in before the crowd, which means featured placement and direct founder support. The tradeoff is you're early. We think the upside is worth it.

**What's the revenue split?**100% of execution revenue. 10% fee on withdrawal only. You keep the full AI margin you set. 5% partner rewards on referred deposits.

**Do I need to know anything about crypto or wallets?**No. Users sign up with email. Payments settle in the background. You see your earnings in a dashboard. When you want to withdraw, it settles to USDC on Base (Coinbase L2). Simple.

**Can I list the same workflows elsewhere?**Yes. No exclusivity.

**Is the platform stable?**It's pre-launch. You will hit bugs. We fix them quickly and we want to hear about every one. Once a workflow passes testing, the execution layer is solid and scales automatically. Think of it as: rough edges on the dashboard, reliable engine underneath.

**Do you do calls?**We work async. Email is the fastest way to reach us and get things done. We've found that builders ship faster when communication is written, specific, and doesn't require scheduling.

**What if I don't have a big audience?**That's fine. We're looking for builders who ship real things. A 500-person newsletter of engaged n8n users is more valuable to us than 100K passive subscribers.
