The point is to have a few hundred, or thousand. If it's so niche it only appeals to 10 customers, then see if you can charge $800 p/m or move on.

The trouble with a few hundred customers is the customer service side of operations. Indie hackers are lean machines and having to support a large customer base requires more tasks. Managing churn is also another problem area as you grow which generally requires product development. You quickly lose the indie hacker feels once you get to 50 customers I would say.

One product I made had roughly a hundred companies using it, I got one email in 3 years.

So, um, no.

One of my present products has over 10,000 users (b2c rather than b2b), we get a support email every couple of months.

Really depends on your product I guess, or you've never actually done it and are pulling figures out of your ass.
