My app hit $1.8k/m today. My ads are currently $8.68 CPA. That's ~3x ROAS. I'm now scaling: $100 to $150 a day. This is it fellas, the big leagues. $5k/m by the time I quit my job.

1. Make app that sells to a human need 2. Run apple ads ($100 free credits) 3. Optimise your funnel with data: • app store page • onboarding • paywall 4. Scale to $1k mrr 5. Proven funnel? invest in tt ads 6. Scale to $10k mrr 7. Retire mumsy 8. Go gym Day 38, 9am: $1.8k mrr

this was semi wrong apple retires up to 60 days regardless if payment fails, apple will send notifications regardless of grace period. i guess it MAY still prevent someone churning who actually uses the app

i had my first billing error user from vietnam 🇻🇳 this is how you can prevent it: • billing grace periods • set it to the max: 28 days this will help renewals go through works best if you have no overheads not perfect, but increase your chances

My app hit $1.6k/m today. This is everything I'm doing to hit $10k/m: • $40/day in Apple Store Ads. • $100/day in Tiksl0p Ads. • ~7% conversion rate.

Top 5 mistakes I made on my first 13 projects. 1. Didn't sell to a human need Hard paywalls don't work if the topic isn't emotional. They must deeply need the thing you're selling. Either insecurity, or a "painkiller" type product. 2. Featuremaxxing I added lots of things the user didn't even want. This was just procrastination: avoiding marketing. 3. Pricing WAY too low. I did 4.99 a month, 19.99 a year. People viewed the app as low quality. Increasing pricing usually increases conversion: 7.99/w 14.99/m 49.99/y. 4. Organic Marketing I spent ages making slideshows. Got around 250k views in a few weeks. 0 conversions: it just didn't work for my app. Apple Admaxxing took me to 1k mrr in 25 days. And I did nothing: set it up and forgot. 5. Sent users notifications. I literally saw it in real time. I'd send notification, user would receive, they'd cancel. Only send notis based on user activity. Keep engaged users engaged, let the others renewalmaxx.

My app hit $1.5k mrr in 34 days Am I gods gift to iOS apps? No. Am I special? Yes, i'm neurodivergent. This is what I did: 1. Sold to a deep human need. 2. Obsessed over ux & design. 3. Learnt signal to noise. 4. Failed faster each project. 5. Pricing: 49.99/y 7.99/m. 6. Added 14.99/m for conversion. 7. Sent notis based on user engagement. 8. Hard paywall: bc i'm not a charity. 9. Donated profits to charity. 10. iOS only, SwiftUI & RevenueCat. 11. Tried literally everything. 12. Appleadmaxxed my way to 1k mrr. 13. Used competitor keywords. 14. Upped max bid till it spent nicely. 15. Dropped poor performing ads. - RevenueCat Data Exports & Apple Ad spend. - Gave both to Claude: ran recommendations. 16. Split into 3 tier territories. 17. Had a better app & screenshots. 18. Got onboarding to ~90%. 19. Measured & optimised with PostHog. 20. Had a 12-13 step onboarding. 21. Tweaked paywall till >5% conversion. 22. Invested relentlessly in myself. 23. Removed negativity in any form. 24. Focused on my mindset & health. 25. Used figma & GPT-Image-2 for app page. 26. Will now localise pricing. 27. After 1k/m started tiksl0p ads. 28. Running ads at $50/day to find winners. 29. First run saw $29 CPA. Not terrible. 30. Second run seeing $16 CPA. 31. Early signal, will scale if it retains. 32. Haven't touched the app in weeks. 33. Using Appsflyer for the MMP. 34. The SDK didn't work for me. 35. Ignored churn. Noisy signal in b2c. 36. Top of funnel more important at first. 37. Above all else: worked on my mindset. 38. Ate clean & worked out 3x a week. I used to read these thinking it was bait. Then I did it, and it really was this simple. Stop overthinking and just do The Thing. There are infinite ways to win. This is mine.

I grew ~400 to 3.7k in about a month. Things I've declined since then: • 2 job offers • 2 paid ads • 1 brand deal • 3 paid consultations • 1 offer to do "adult c0ntent" I'm still a tiny account! Building a personal brand has insane ROI. Especially if you want a tech job.
I made $18,290 in June 2026 💶 Day Job: $15k 📱 Mobile Apps: $1.5k 📈 Investments: $1.2k 💬 Consultations: $300 🎵 Music Royalties: $140 I will lose $15k/m in October. That's the exact price of betting on myself.

$1420/m • 32 days. We hit $1.5k total revenue! What I've done: • Apple Admaxxing is stable ~30%. • But it's not growing: more spend != more $$. What I'm doing: • Paid tiksl0p is ~$25 CPA • Organic slideshowmaxxing is quite slow. • Will try for an abandon checkout offer.

For clarity: • Don't impersonate or 1:1 copy another app: - name / brand - onboarding / paywalls - screenshots, etc. • Use their onboarding as a guide for what works. • Target same proven niche / human desire. • Build your own, better version. • Add new features (is what i did). If you 1:1 copy, you'll likely get rejected by apple!

I got an offer for the app... $25k Its a hard choice: • I don't need the money (yet). • I enjoy growing it. • I'm learning a lot about marketing. • It has insane ASO rankings. But: • Only 30 days of data. • Pretty generous offer? • Would extend runway ~2 years.

It took 3 years of failure. To hit $1k mrr in 30 days. This is what I did: 1. Copied a proven product. 2. Exploited a deep human desire. 3. Integrated AppleAds w RevenueCat. • (Free $100 to get started: zero downside) 4. Exported full transaction data to GCS. 5. Claude analysed country & keyword. 6. Found and scaled winners to $70/day. 7. Failed faster with every project. 8. Hard paywall bc we're not a charity. 9. Donated all profits to charity. 10. Pricing: 49.99/yr, 7.99/wk, 14.99/mo 11. Understood signal to noise. 12. Only sent notis to engaged users. 13. Tried everything, welcomed failure. 14. Average a 5% conversion. 15. Used competitor names as keywords. 16. Split by tiered countries. 17. Measured everything with PostHog. 18. Optimised onboarding to 87% . 19. iOS only, SwiftUI & RevenueCat. 20. Used RevenueCat paywall for AB tests. 21. Obsessed over the UX & UI, liquid glass. 22. 12-15 step onbording was sweet spot. 23. Removed all friction from onboarding. 24. Removed all negativity from my life. 25. Hit the gym 4x a week. 26. Asked review during onboarding (patched). 27. App Store Screenshots with GPT-Image-2. 28. Did not localise pricing (cost me 2 refunds). 29. But made me a lot more money in long run. 30. Ate an extremely restricted diet. 31. Invested in myself & tools: Codex & mobbin. 32. 10g creatine, 3600mg magnesium. 33. Vid D: 2400 IU, Vit C: 1000mg. 34. Made friends on x dot com. 35. Had an offer to do "adult content". Winning is simply losing on a long enough time frame.

I’ve spent $225 on tikSl0p ads in the past few days. Early Results: • 10 conversions: $22.5 CPA. • $156.9 in revenue. • Mostly weekly & monthlys. • Conversion is ~5%. • Apple Ads was ~3%. • Apple Ads saw more yearlys. Day 1: $50/day - saw early success signals. Day 2: $75/day - consistent signal. Day 3: $100/day - scaling. Profits: • Profit is unclear bc I forgot to add SKAN. • On since last night & got one conversion. • I think it's $156.9 revenue, so lost ~$68. • Day 27, so $19 volatile LTV, will go up tho. • ~0.70x ROAS: right now, losing money. What I'm doing next: 1. Abandon checkout & exit offers: 24.99/year. 2. Will up retention & conversion: driving LTV. 3. Find ways to lower my CPA on TikSl0p. • I think this will happen naturally as TT algo learns. 4. Started organic posting: • Videos hit > 1k each. • Very trusted account, can post 3x a day no penalty. 5. Continue at $100/day cos i'm an admaxxer. Organic & abandon/exit offers are my priority tho.
