I didn't expect this much interest in my $1K MRR challenge! π€―
I wish I could personally mentor everyone, but I simply can't handle that many people at once.
So I decided to make it accessible to everyone for just $6.99.
I created a practical PowerPoint + video tutorial sharing my methods:
β Find profitable app ideas using TryAstro + AI
β Discover keywords with real App Store demand
β Set up ASO to improve organic rankings
β Launch your first Apple Ads campaign
β Find the best markets to target
Here's how the challenge works:
1οΈβ£ Get the guide for $6.99
2οΈβ£ DM me your payment screenshot on X
3οΈβ£ Apply the strategies to your app
4οΈβ£ If you get stuck, DM me your questions. I'll help where I can!
π― Our goal: Your first $1K MRR.
I kept the price low because I want to help indie developers who are serious about taking action. Your purchase also supports me in creating more resources. β€οΈ
No magic tricks. No guaranteed results.
Just real strategies, experiments, and consistent work.

Let's hit our first $1K MRR together. π₯
Most indie devs are ignoring a new traffic source:
ChatGPT & AI agents.
Here's a simple trick to help AI discover your app:
Find questions people ask about your app's niche.
Add those questions to your App Store description.
Answer each question naturally.
Explain how your app solves the problem.
Example:
β "Best AI Crochet App"
β
"How can I learn crochet as a complete beginner?" + a clear answer explaining how your app helps.
You're no longer just optimizing for App Store search.
You're making your app easier for AI agents to understand and potentially recommend.
ASO + AI discovery = a new growth opportunity.
Are you optimizing your app for AI search yet?
π¨ Indie iOS devs, I found another EASY opportunity.
Keyword: "PSAT Test Prep 2026" π±
Only ONE app is using this exact keyword in its title.
The competition looks LOW. π
My prediction? A well-optimized app could break into the TOP 5.
Here's your next app idea:
β
Build a simple PSAT prep app
β
Use this keyword in your title
β
Add great screenshots
β
Launch and test your rankings
Sometimes you don't need a revolutionary idea.
You just need the RIGHT keyword.
Would you build this app or skip it? π
Good luck! π
ChatGPT is making me money while I sleep. π€―
Just checked my App Store Analytics:
β 94 impressions from ChatGPT
β 59 app downloads
β $112 in revenue
Meanwhile, Google sent me just 5 downloads.
I spent $0 on ads for this traffic.
People aren't just searching Google for apps anymore.
They're asking ChatGPT for recommendations.
AI search optimization might be the next big opportunity for indie developers.
π¨ Indie iOS devs, STOP building random app ideas.
I found 20 App Store keywords with surprisingly LOW competition in the US. π
Here are 10 worth investigating:
β’ Driving Theory β 61 popularity / 13 difficulty
β’ Ring Sizer β 49 / 17
β’ Chess Clock β 47 / 17
β’ PDF to Word β 43 / 17
β’ Darts Scorer β 41 / 15
β’ Cube Timer β 39 / 17
β’ Electronic Signature β 35 / 13
β’ Hearing Test β 28 / 17
β’ Age Calculator β 25 / 15
β’ Reading Comprehension β 24 / 9
These are real search keywords, not random AI-generated ideas.
My strategy:
- Find keywords with existing demand.
- Target low-difficulty opportunities.
- Build a simple MVP.
- Localize into multiple markets.
Validate with small Apple Search Ads campaigns.
You don't need another revolutionary app idea.
You need a simple app people are ALREADY searching for.
Bookmark this before building your next iOS app. π
The most powerful thing you can do for your app isn't adding new features.
It's localizing your pricing.
$9.99 in the US β $9.99 in Brazil, India, or Turkey.
Same app. Same features. Different purchasing power.
Most indie devs localize their screenshots and metadata but completely ignore pricing.
You're leaving money on the table.
Localize your app. Localize your pricing. Maximize your revenue.
Sometimes growth isn't about getting more users.
It's about pricing correctly for the users you already have.
π¨ Apple just introduced something interesting for iOS developers!
Multiseat Purchases are now available for subscriptions in App Store Connect.
What does this mean?
β Businesses can buy multiple subscription seats
β Schools can purchase subscriptions for students
β Regular App Store support is coming later this year
Imagine selling 100 subscriptions to a company instead of acquiring 100 individual users. π
A new monetization opportunity for indie devs?
Are you enabling this for your apps?
Blaida retweeted
π Selling my iOS app!
π° 2 purchases from just 45 users
β
No paid APIs or third-party services
β
Zero paid marketing
Skip 2 months of dev + Apple review.
Take over a live app, invest in user acquisition, and test growth without building from scratch.

π¨ Just hosted my FIRST live stream on Discord!
No fancy setup. No huge audience.
Just indie iOS developers learning how to grow their apps. π
π― Our challenge: Help indie developers reach their first $1,000 in App Store revenue within 30 days.
We're focusing on:
β
Finding app niches with real demand
β
ASO & localization to increase organic downloads
β
Apple Search Ads to acquire users
β
Improving paywalls and subscriptions
β
Tracking real revenue and sharing weekly results
No fake promises. Just real experiments, real numbers, and learning together.
This is only the beginning.
Link : discord.gg/QGMpzY2J6
π¨ FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN THIS.
π 32 keywords ranking #1 on the App Store.
And the craziest part?
No expensive ASO agency.
No massive marketing budget.
No growth team.
Just me, my own ASO strategy, keyword research, and smart localization.
I've spent months testing, failing, learning, and building my own system.
Today, seeing these results feels different.
This is a BIG day for me. π₯Ή
Indie developers, never underestimate the power of ASO.
You don't need a huge team to compete.
You need the right strategy.
And I'm just getting started. π
π¨ Apple just updated its App Review Guidelines.
And with so many indie developers reporting account terminations lately, EVERY iOS developer should pay attention.
Apple has introduced new rules covering:
β Hidden or undocumented app features
β Creative assets used in apps
β Developer conduct and compliance
β External payment links
β Stricter enforcement of safety policies
β οΈ Your app getting approved today doesn't mean you're safe tomorrow.
If you're building iOS apps, read these changes BEFORE submitting your next update.
I've seen more developers worried about account terminations than ever.
Are you noticing more Apple Developer account terminations lately, or is it just my feed?
Also i removed app peptide
Today I removed my high ranking OB Wheel pregnancy tracking app from the App Store
With Appleβs decision to start banning peptide apps I realised this app poses too much similar risk (medical app)
Iβve never been able to successfully monetize this app. When I tried, it was an ai chatbot that could give advice to women. Apple rejected it for being βharmfulβ and dangerous. So I rolled it back to just an ai overview of each stage and never worked on the app again
Iβve had a few people reach out to buy it. But then: how will they monetize it? Thereβs a risk with selling an app and then the new person does something egregious with it. Then Apple look back at the app history and Iβm associated with it.
So the only call for now: remove it from the App Store
Saying goodbye to my OG app portfolio is a hard thing to do. But weβre in a different app landscape now.
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 π
I share more niche breakdowns and help indie devs work toward their first online revenue here:

π¨ Woke up to this DM today.
An indie developer I helped with ASO just told me his app made $100 in one month! π
No massive ad budget.
No complicated growth hacks.
Just better keywords, smarter ASO, and targeting the right markets.
This is exactly why I love helping indie developers grow.
Your first $100 matters. Your first $1,000 comes next.
If you're struggling to get downloads, drop your app below.
I'll pick a few and share free ASO tips.
