She built 4 apps, doing about $150K/month each!
Meet Nicole. She doesn’t code.
She runs design + distribution.
Her apps pull 400–500 million monthly views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. At peak, she was managing 200+ active UGC creators at once.
The system:
> Find a viral distribution channel (Reddit, faceless TikTok/IG, face UGC, AI UGC, paid)
> Test each one for 2–3 weeks and milk what works
> Source creators inbound (application forms, Sideshift) + outbound (VAs to micro-influencers)
> Onboard with an interview + a full creator course (more than 50% of hers go viral)
> Manage via Discord, top creators, or bi-weekly calls
> Systemize with referrals + dashboards once it’s working
Her stack: React Native, RevenueCat, Superwall, PostHog, Atio, Sideshift.
The takeaway: virality isn’t luck. It’s a process you can run on app after app.
Manchester United 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That’s it. Into the pits of hell you go. Liquidate that club #MUNBOU

"The one thing you can't question under Mikel Arteta is the mentality."

This guy built a $100M creator marketplace with 4 college friends in under 3 years
I sat with him for nearly two hours as he explained how they did it, and we're sharing the full, raw conversation here on X
@ManilowOliver and 4 college friends started SideShift as a local job board that made about $500
No customers, no real users, no product-market fit, just desks in a friend’s apartment kitchen
Today, they’re at 8 figures in ARR, their app hit the top 10 in the App Store, and Sideshift is home for more than 1M creators
Here’s the core of what he taught me:
> influencers rent you their audience. UGC creators post from new accounts, so the same budget buys ~100x the volume
> the creator manager matters more than the creators themselves. Similar creators have been seen to perform 10x apart, and the only change was the manager
> organic content finds the winners, paid ads scale them. When a video hits ~8% engagement, boost it with Spark Ads or Meta partnership ads
We go deep on all of it in this conversation
If you run a consumer app, these are the most useful 83 minutes you’ll spend this year

Paid ads are cooked 😭
Kling dissapeared for 8 months
and now they dropped this killer.
And you cannot even tell its AI anymore...
I literally made 10 ads for under $5
→ 4x cheaper than Seedance models
→ yet it matches the insane quality of seedance 2.5
The money making opportunities
with this are endless.
you can litreally produce hyper-realistic UGC
winning ads for less than $1
with Kling 4 + Higgsfield MCP
🤝 Paid partnership

Finding an app idea is easy. Finding a problem people will pay to solve takes more work.
This niche caught my attention, so I recorded a breakdown 👇
I share more niche breakdowns and help indie devs work toward their first online revenue here:

🚀 I'm launching a $1K MRR challenge for indie app developers!
The goal is simple:
Go from $0 to $1,000 MRR with an iOS app. 📱
We'll focus on:
→ Finding profitable app ideas
→ Building & shipping fast
→ ASO & keyword research
→ Localization for organic growth
→ Apple Ads & monetization
No fake gurus. Just indie devs building, testing, and sharing real results.
Who's interested in joining?
Reply "1K" or DM me.
Let's hit our first $1K MRR together. 🔥

This study app is insane 😭
The onboarding probably converts better than most apps
Onboarding
- Animal Crossing inspired style
- Feels more like a game
- Collects all key user data
- Personalization of your character
Paywall
- Pushes the annual plan first
- Limited time 50% off offer
- 3 day free trial
If you build an app with this level of detail, conversions will skyrocket
This ADHD app has one of the most unique onboardings I’ve seen.
Onboarding
- unique style + cool animations
- Mascot of a cat
- A lot of personalization
- Explains the app in a fun way
Paywall
- Lifetime payment option
- Annual subscription
- 14 day free trial
If you care this much about the details of your app, you must likely succeed
