Pretty decent stats for the first month. Still alot of improvements regarding downloads/revenue ratio. I think it should be possible to make 1000-1500 dollar per month with these kind of downloads.
Maybe keyword ranking will improve too in the future.

I added subscriptions to my most successful app a week ago. Right now it looks more promising than an IAP-only model.👀
Going to give weekly reports until i hit a MRR plateau ⌛

I failed my 2026 goal already... by beating it. 😅
I aimed for $2k/mo by the end of 2026, but just hit $3k only one month later in 2025.
I’m raising the bar to $5k/mo until the end of 2026.
More detailed 2026 match plan is coming in a few days...🕶️

Targeting USA seems to work now.🎆
My Tiktoks (only 4-5 total yet, all slideshows) get around 1k viewers. Dont really convert into downloads for my app though yet.
Repeating this approach the next few weeks and then evaluate the results.
Stay tuned 🧐

36% of my users from this android app are from Iran.
They cant even use IAPs so they give me zero revenue.
Not sure if these reviews and downloads have effect on other countries...
They dont get anything from it either because the app has a hard paywall.
What would you do?🧐

$114 MRR and $120 Revenue after 2 months 🚀
7 apps on PlayStore 4 on AppStore
Goal: 10 on PlayStore before pushing the rest to iOS
Then… build more apps or focus on marketing + ai features for my bookmarking app? 🤔

Pretty happy with my first month. Have a few more apps in the pipeline that i want to release in the next weeks.
Really curious how my apps perform in a few months. Up or down? We will see...

My app ColleX (bookmark manager) has 18 downloads on AppStore → 2 trials + 1 lifetime purchase.
Not chasing it further (for now).
I’m fully focused on ASO-first apps until year’s end.
ColleX will get its 2nd shot later this year and with more features & real marketing. 🚀

Publishing your app for free and promoting on reddit then adding IAP later might be a good strategy for some initial keyword boosting and feedback? 🧐
Got 250 downloads from 2 reddit posts and the app isnt even some special newer existing concept. 😅

First two trials with my apps🕶️
Hopefully just the start of something bigger! 😁
I see 10+ apps ahead, all built with ASO in mind and spiced up with marketing experiments.
Can’t wait to where i am at in a year.

3 apps live. Results? App Store ≠ Play Store.
Only the Car Identifier app was made with ASO in mind even though i knew seach volume was pretty low.
My next 3 apps are going to be different. Fully focusing on ASO.

Framer is actually insane for product landing pages. 🤯 Why would I ever code one myself when I can whip up something stunning and functional in a fraction of the time? This is peak productivity. Only thing i wish for are more app specific affordable templates.
