Just spent 3 hours filming, editing and completing a 20 second video that I realise I hate and made my question all of my life choices. Sooo seems I wont be doing short-form and will stick more with text promotion 😅

You can also clearly see from the image that the campaign was for 2 weeks and once it ended, downloads basically dropped to 0. So need to work on spreading awareness of my app now, otherwise no one will ever see it

Here is how my first month of launching an app went - I had an Apple Ads campaign that cost me 100$ and after some tweaks during the middle of the campaign managed to get 109 downloads. 0 premium upgrades though so not earning anything YET

Im a new app developer. If you are into UI design, ASO, SEO, product marketing and growth and want to connect - can you leave me alone?

Waited 9 days only for @Apple to reject my EU submission and ask me to resubmit documents proving I live in my country. So the passport and bank statement are not enough why exactly?

This is my first app launch and the first week can be summed up with the meme bellow. 99% of time spent has been waiting on @Apple to review multiple builds & documents before I can start spreading the word of what I've built 😅 #firstapp #firstlaunch #solodev

I mean its cool and it works. It can spit out content tailored for my app & brand in a few minutes. However, I realised that I would rather spend that time building my own #brand and spreading the word of Emils the #indiedev

Just spent the entire day building an AI-powered marketing machine that does market research, creates ready made content for all social media platforms and even does background syncs with Notion kanban boards & calendars. Only to realise I will not use it... 🤦‍♂️

@Polygon If you could fix your RSS so that story titles dont show up as just “Filed under:” that would be much appreciated. Been an issue for a few weeks already
