September is drawing to a close, time for another recap 🧵 My revenue goal was again €200, and I'm very happy to say that I've finally reached it! 🥳 Primary goal for this month was again to launch as many apps as possible. Done exactly that, a month of rock solid growth!📈

October ✅ 🧵 My goal for this month was to try and optimise what I already had, trying to bump up my CR and impressions. I didn't succeed unfortunately 🥲 Revenue goal: €400 ❌

The month started really well, at the end of the previous month I started running ads for one of my apps and it converted great in the first week. The next week, I added a few more keywords and the CR just plummeted. My budget was gone within a few days.

Many lessons learned, now on to November I'm going to: - test more screenshots - focus more on pushing one single app to rank well - run more ads Revenue goal for this month: €800

Only ~15–20% of my trials currently convert to paid 🕵️‍♂️ Started tracking more events this week and noticed many cancel right after their first identification. Added a quick feedback form to learn why. Let’s see what happens 👀

October goals update: - published the 1 app I wanted to publish, no more this month - my trial cancellation rate is quite high at 85/90%, now fixing that I've implemented a funnel to determine what is causing this high rate. I simply do not know yet, need to find out first

I think the phrase "growth is not linear" is fitting here. Though I would rephrase it as "growth does not feel linear", because in many ways it is. It's a matter of focusing on the right measure.

Now on to October! 👀 The goal is shifting, my aim is to publish a little less apps. I will publish 1 or 2 apps, the focus just shifts to optimising what I already have. Monthly revenue goal; €400 Bye august, hello October ✌️

Finally hit 200€ in revenue this month, after 3 months of struggling to pass 100 € 🥹

Plan for September 📆 - release 3 more identifier apps: antique, coin & bird - release image editing app (nano banana 📷) - improve store conversion rates I'm getting about 8-10k impressions monthly but only doing ~200 downloads. Big wins to be made📷🤯

While august is coming to a close, it's time to recap. 🧵 My revenue goal for the month was €200, there's 2 days left and I'm not going to make that. Just shy of 100 currently. The goal for the month was to launch as many identifier apps as possible.

About the launch, it's only day 3 but installs are very very minimal. It's a flop. 55 installs, 3 trials. Almost all canceled. 0 installs from the golden goose, USA. teapawt.net/createdByKarl/status/1…

👀 to September, I'm releasing 3 more identifier apps. And of course releasing the nano banana app🍌 All my learnings from the other apps, made this new app functional in just 1 night's work. Now I just need to make it look pretty ✨ Bye august, hello september ✌️

If the image editor gets approved quickly, I'll have shipped 3 apps this week...🤯 Insane.
