This is how my app just hit 100K downloads on the App Store 100% organic in 6 months. 📈

@rork gave me the tools to build it.

No coding needed.

But here’s the truth nobody talks about:

every indie dev now has access to the
same tools.

AI builds the app for you.

The only thing that separates winners from losers is distribution.

That’s where the real skill is.

That’s where the money is.

Learn to distribute.

Everything else is just an excuse.

[Rork @rork]

An app made in Rork just hit #3 in Finance on the App Store in Spain

Meet Alberto, 22yo founder of Flowfy.

When he joined Rork Stars in January he had made $750 total

Now he's at $22K and 100K+ downloads with his first IOS app.

This is how Rork can change your life.

Running paid ads for your app used to take days of setup.

Pixel configuration.

Attribution.

Conversion events.

Campaign structure.

Most indie founders give up before they even launch the first ad.

My friend @arthursbuilds built the fix.

His tool sets up everything in 10 to 15 minutes with AI.

Trials.

Purchases.

Subscriptions.

Your TikTok ads know exactly what’s happening inside your app.

No guessing.

No broken attribution.

No agency needed.

You see in real time if your ads are profitable or not.

And the algorithm learns from actual conversion events, not just clicks.

For founders like me who understand distribution but not ad infrastructure, this is the tool that was missing.

This is exactly what I was missing.

I’ve been growing apps organically for months.

TikTok is my channel.

It works.

But paid ads always felt like a full time job on top of everything else.

https://t.co/iOjpSnBMB3 changes that.

For founders like me who are building multiple apps, studying, working and trying to scale at the same time, the bottleneck is never the idea.

It’s time.

The less time I spend figuring out ad setup the more time I have to build the next app.

That’s the whole game.

Thanks for building this @arthursbuilds 🫡

if you’re not sure what to build next for your SaaS

stop building for 3 days

book 15 min calls with users

here is the exact playbook:

1. ask if they already have the problem you’re solving (they should if they signed up…)

2. ask them to walk you through how they solve it today (if they do)

3. ask which tools, dashboards, spreadsheets, or workarounds they use

4. ask what part is the most annoying or unreliable

5. ask if it ever cost them time, money, or a bad decision

6. ask what they tried before

7. ask why that wasn’t enough

8. only then talk/show your product

10. record the call and use the transcript after

Google Meet does this for free

you’ll catch the exact words they use instead of relying on memory

11. invite early users somewhere you can reply fast

12. track their onboarding so you can spot problems before they rage quit

for example, with AppSprint I’m asking app founders how they track paid ads, where attribution breaks, and if they can connect spend to trials/subscriptions/revenue

then I bring them into a private Slack

because AppSprint is still an MVP

it works, but things can break

so fast support is part of the product right now

way better than guessing alone and calling it “product strategy”

also shoutout @AlbertoAIcode, organic TikTok goat, who just onboarded and is now starting paid ads

[Alberto Pérez @AlbertoAIcode]

@nissimilan Thanks!!!

@adriamatz 🤣🤣

[Arthur Spalanzani @arthursbuilds]

i started coding at 10 building traffic lights for my Legos

killed my love for it with €20 Fiverr gigs

got it back building products, apps, startups, and talking to other founders

now i’m building AppSprint and sharing the messy app growth stuff here

ASO, Apple Search Ads, paywalls, screenshots, client feedback, podcast notes, product decisions, numbers when i can share them

just the build log

[Arthur Spalanzani @arthursbuilds]

someone just told me my first youtube video might’ve changed their life

i started posting for fun with 0 plan
and now something i made is impacting someone i don’t even know

internet is crazy

inspiring even one person feels so damn good

A wise mentor once taught me:

To learn product, study Silicon Valley

To learn marketing, study dropshippers

@arthursbuilds Your first video is the best yt video about mobile apps development imo

[Alberto Pérez @AlbertoAIcode]

@PerezHatesAI Congrats brother!! 🙏

[Alberto Pérez @AlbertoAIcode]

@arthursbuilds That’s sick bro! 🙏

[Alberto Pérez @AlbertoAIcode]

@thesecara Fair point. Turn it on, connect to VPN before downloading TikTok and creating the account. Thanks for catching that 👌🏻

[Alberto Pérez @AlbertoAIcode]

My TikTok video just hit 30k views in 24h.

99% from the US.

I’m posting from Spain.

Here’s the exact playbook:

1. Get a second phone. No SIM needed. This is your US device. Keep it only for this.

2. Before turning it on for the first time connect to a VPN. I use NordVPN. US server.

3. Change the phone region to United States. Change the timezone to a US city. Match everything.

4. Download TikTok with the VPN already active. Do not download it before.

5. When signing up you should see the US phone prefix. If you don’t something went wrong. Start over.

6. Create the account with a fresh email. Not your personal one. Clean identity.

7. Your FYP should immediately feel different. More English content. US creators. US trends. You’ll know.

8. Do not post yet. Spend 2 to 3 sessions just scrolling and watching. Behave like a real user.

9. Switch to creator mode. Enable profile views. This lets you see who visits your profile before you even have analytics.

10. Post your first video. Keep it short. Keep it native to US trends not your local market.

11. Check analytics after 24 hours. You want to see United States as your top location. If you don’t, the setup failed somewhere.

12. Keep the VPN on every single time you open that account. Every single time. No exceptions.

13. Never log into that account from your regular phone. Keep the accounts completely separate.

14. Use English in every caption, every text on screen, every sound. The algorithm reads all of it.

15. Study what US creators in your niche are posting. Match the format. Match the energy. Not your local style.

16. When a video hits, don’t switch formats. Repeat the same concept with a different angle until it stops working.

The US market pays more per download, converts better and has the highest app store revenue in the world.

Most indie devs are posting from their home country and wondering why their revenue is low.

This is the fix. Save it.

New phone = New markets = More money 💸
