I’m using ChatGPT to send 25 targeted emails a day to businesses without websites. 50 sent so far, 2 replies.

SEO is bringing LeedFinder 2 signups a day, and I’m working to grow that. TikTok/Reels will promote my new calorie-tracking app, Kcalm.

Mark my words: I’ll hit $6K MRR within the next few months, God willing.

Wake up. Put in the work. Eat right. Exercise. Pray. Repeat.

I will achieve this.

@KevinSzabo14 I don't even have one but I'm working on my web design agency & my calorie tracking app

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

They probably just know how to market

[kartikey singh @askwhykartik]

One of our clients made $2,076 this month.

From an app we built for them.

3,400 trial users. Could hit $14K this month if the trend holds.

We built the app in 2 months.
Cost: $8,000.

If it hits $14K, they've already made their build cost back in a single month.

$8K in. Potential $14K/month out.

That's not luck. That's just what happens when the product actually works.

@IndieBeaverHere It’s fine with Apple and there are many others too 😂

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

First app live on the Apple App Store

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

@_mattwelter I need to figure this out and start printing

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

@bookedbymo My app is finally live in the App Store, now the real work starts I need to figure out how to get it to 6K per month

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

@GeorgeLampro20 What does that have to do with anything. I’m here trying to figure out something that works and can get me to 6K per month

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

@bookedbymo Wish it was this easy

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

Sent another 25+ cold emails today using ChatGPT + Gmail.

Already got my first real response.

It was a “no thank you” 😂 but that’s still a good sign.

The emails are landing. Now I just need to keep sending.

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

Sent 25 targeted cold emails today using ChatGPT + Gmail.

Now we wait and see if one turns into a client 😂

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

I saw one app with 20,000 downloads making $20 MRR.

Then another with 10,000 downloads making $6K MRR.

That difference is insane.

What separates the two?

Pricing? Paywall? Retention? Free → paid conversion?

Trying to understand what actually makes an app profitable instead of just popular.

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

4K views in the last 30 days sounds cool…

Until you realize I’ve only been posting for 4 days 😂

Now I want to see if I can take this account from 4K → 1M views in a month.

5 TikTok slideshows a day.

That’s the challenge.

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

A few of my TikToks were consistently getting around 700 views.

Thought I was finally gaining momentum.

Next two? 30 views 😭

Is this just normal TikTok?

Trying to grow my app waitlist to 500 users before launch, then scale Kcalm to $6K/month using TikTok slideshows.

Back to posting.

@LinoLeighton I started trying to build an android app. Had to switch to iOS

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

Figured out how to schedule posts on TikTok 🔥

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

3 things I learned this week:

ChatGPT is actually really good at coming up with TikTok/UGC ad ideas.

I’m going all in on TikTok slideshows.

Connecting ChatGPT to Gmail and using it to automate client outreach is a game changer.

Feels like I’m finally learning how to actually use AI.

What did you learn this week?

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

Genuinely impressive to go from 0 to ppl larping your revenue in just 4 months

[Lino @LinoLeighton]

Genuinely embarrassing,

Bro is really using my screenshots and my revenue, then posting reels larping like it’s his and using it to promote his agency.

Come on 🥀😭

[Federico @fedemas]

@willbakerships Can’t see the problem here.

If I offered you $2 in exchange for $1, wouldn’t you take it?

[Ryh | Building Kcalm @ryhdry27]

$2,500 USD might not sound like a lot.

But in Jamaica that’s roughly $396K JMD 🇯🇲

After taxes/deductions: $311K JMD ($1,960 USD)

Rent: $90K JMD ($568 USD)
Groceries: $50K JMD ($316 USD)
Utilities + internet: $30K JMD ($189 USD)
Transportation: $21K JMD ($133 USD)

Still left: $119,765 JMD ($756 USD)

Perspective.

[Will @willbakerships]

the truth about $10k MRR mobile apps is that $6k of it is ad spend, $1.5k of it goes to apple, and you’re left with $2.5k pre-tax

this applies to $20k, $50k, $100k… and the margins only get thinner

so the next time you see some crazy MRR screenshot - don’t let it get you down - revenue ≠ profit
