Building iOS apps, chasing $1k

Ride Lens: Speedometer on video $900/m

[luchogax @luchogax]

How I broke out of the $200 plateau after 4 months and hit $305:

- stopped overcomplicating and focused on organic
- dropped annual plan to $15 + 3-day trial
- accepted the MRR drop to get more cashflow

Next step: localize the app to enter new markets

@nicoharone no lo pongas en el onboarding porque va en contra de las políticas de apple, vi a varios que le bajaron la cuenta por eso y algunas cositas más

@arturoxdev que estás haciendo?

[luchogax @luchogax]

Today I reached $863 in revenue in the last 28 days. I achieved 2.5x the revenue of my previous months. This should make me happy. It's huge growth.

But all I feel is concern about whether I can continue growing at this rate, or even worse, whether I can maintain it over time.

[luchogax @luchogax]

just hit a new milestone today.

50 active trials on the app right now.

let's see how the conversion holds up.

[luchogax @luchogax]

I hope to finally surpass $500 in revenue this month.

bumped the trial from 3 to 7 days yesterday

A few days ago, I decided to finally understand where my users were coming from.

I added this simple survey to the onboarding flow. It only takes a few seconds, but the data is gold.

These are the results:

here is the exact setup

[luchogax @luchogax]

5/ the switch after a few months, once i was 100% sure the algorithm locked me into the US audience, i just installed the vpn on my personal iphone 13 and logged in.

now i just upload from my main phone.
