Building an app

Quit my agency to make $100m from apps

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@maubaron Cash makes it so much easier to scale fast, dmd you bro

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

If your not using Claude to draw up mockups of changes in artifacts and give feedback like this your behind

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

For those who think scaling apps to 10k p/m requires a lot of work:

10m views converting at a 0.2% view to download rate (very low) is 20,000 downloads

20,000 downloads at a $1.50 (very low) user value is $30k

even if you averaged 15k views a post thats 8 posts a day

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

My user value went from $1 to $2.30 in 4 months doubling profit and revenue,

Marketing was the only reason i could do it

But without it marketing is a hell of a lot less profitable,

(Price only increased by $5 so no it wasn't 'just a price change')

@SrDiddy6221 organic tiktok content

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

I scaled my app to 35k a month in 4 months and it was easy

Organic is the best way to do so

I will now scale my app to 300k a month and it will be even easier, via influencer, paid ads and app value

A lot of people on here making building apps seem hard, it's not. Ask me anything.

@stacy_siz slideshows primarily!

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@azeribatman Test them all and see what works best for you, different for every app,

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@alexcooldev Why do you cap them at 20k a month each through organic? If it’s performing do you not want to set up the systems to scale it beyond that point?

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@theholyengineer Yeh that’s the issue we went for less of a validated audience so while our in app stats work our conversions from views is lower,

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

Day 30/31 of building mobile apps till I make a million

it’s time for a pivot

Our audience isn’t as validated as we initially thought and the idea is falling much flatter than we anticipated

While some of would say push ‘through’

That’s not how any million pound product is built

So instead we are reanalysing and pivoting to where there is more demand

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

Day 29 of building apps till I make 1 million

First $13 made meaning we are 0.0013% of the way there lol

10 new users makes it our most amount of new users in a day

We keep pushing

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

Day 27/28 of building apps till I make 1 million

Most the weekend spent warming up accounts + posting a few videos

Less done than anticipated but we move forth

@AiwithTyler Page

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@zuess05 Usually the latter rarely the first,

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@ErnestoSOFTWARE Giving people the wrong ideas bro 😂

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

Day 24 of building apps till I make 1 million

On paper the most failed day with 0 new users or downloads

In my head the most successful day so much so we celebrated

I've learnt the most today from failing than I have from any other day

+ it's only up from here

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

@stacy_siz Appreciate it will do from tmrw

[Josh @Josh_dwilliams]

Day 23 of building apps till I make 1 million

around 25 pieces of content went out today

amounting to around 6-7,000 views

with just 5 new users it isn't a great conversion rate, or great amount of views

we keep optimising

catch you tmrw
