Trying to earn my freedom through the App Store

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kwernapp I do it in batches, it’s tempting doing it everyday but I try to wait a bit longer 3 days ideally

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

Almost profitable. All with Apple Search Ads only. Constantly tweaking the campaigns and bids, middle of next week should be profitable hopefully. Will follow up

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kwernapp $0.23 is the blended CPT. Others do deliver: Poland had 73 taps/40 installs, Spain 58/30 and France 36/19 in 7 days. But the US, Canada, Australia, Austria, Denmark and Finland barely show at the low bids so currently raising these up

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kwernapp Brasil, Mexico and Italy are the strongest so far

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kyanbuilds Good for u man, I’m impressed with these stats then

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kwernapp Average cost per acquisition for the past 7d is $0.47

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kwernapp Net CPA is my break-even metric.
RC proceeds after Apple/tax vs ads:
- Oct 15 $19.98/$26.66=-$6.68
- Oct 16 $30.10/$19.62=+$10.48
- Oct 17 $51.63/$14.63=+$37.00
All paying users attributed through Apple Ads, I run it across 20 countries with average cost per tap $0.23 - last 7d

@hii_mohit 2k turnover of profit?

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@SergiuszBuilds X is flooded with $10k MRR gurus, yet maybe 1% of them actually share their profit margins

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@carneyfnn 100%, it happened to me once😂

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@launch_llama This topic was discussed here multiple times, one big conclusion is that it’s just too risky to share the apps nowadays - especially mobile apps

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@jigsmedev Because weekly looks much more attractive and cheaper when u throw $29.99 annual in their faces

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@DarioLeighton01 YouTube shorts, Reddit post(apparently almost impossible nowadays without being banned)

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@kedytcom What’s the popularity of that keyword? Without that info this vid/post are kind of pointless

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@petersapps What are your profit margins?

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

Every day I see another screenshot of an app doing $10k, $20k, or $50k MRR or even more

And every time I wonder the same thing:

How much did it cost to get there?

Show me the ad spend. Show me the UGC campaigns cost. Show me the actual profit/margins

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@MacdevM Are u profitable? If so what are the margins?

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@endyjtwn Is it available by default for every developer? I thought u have to apply for it

[Simon @SimonOniOS]

@ChadAppDev @NathanGeckler Clucky has amazing animations, therefore won a desing award totally deserved
