Most mobile apps treat paid creative like a lottery.
J. Shane Troy has spent a decade proving it's not.
He's scaled multiple apps to $100k+/day on Meta โ and built the creative operating system behind it.

Trust built through years of founder-led content. Trust built by having a real coach DM every new user within 24 hours. Trust built by never posting a free workout and instead saying: come inside the app, weโll customize your plan.
None of that shows up in analytics. But it shows up everywhere else: in conversion, in retention, in word-of-mouth.

โNot everything thatโs important in business will be in your dashboardโ (even your @RevenueCat dashboard ;)
I talked with @NancAndersonFit about how she built such a great app business in the crowded fitness category.
The whole conversation kept coming back to one thing: trust
"Not everything that's important in business will be in your dashboard."
@NancAndersonFit (Natal) built a 68% trial conversion rate โ nearly double ๐คฏ the industry average โ on trust that no A/B test can measure.

If 40% of your users come from word-of-mouth, an in-app referral program is a guaranteed win, right?
Not exactly.
@Life360 VP of Product @giordanobc shared the story of their biggest recent growth failure. ๐

You can't force a viral loop if it goes against how your audience actually behaves.
