r3tards will tell you to do ONLY organic for your app
on 200K view organic video:
- you'll get ~0.4% people to exit TT/IG & search your app
~ 800-1000 downloads
on 200K view ad, i chadmax with:
- 7% click through rate
~ 13,800 downloads
that's 14X more traffic than an organic video
and this traffic is high-quality, not random scrollers
rest is upto your product funnel to make shit profitable
Hot take:
Paid ads aren’t the best way to grow early.
Social builds trust.
Cold outreach gets immediate users.
Ads? They just amplify what already works.
Where have you seen the most traction?
@eliana_jordan Shit like a habit tracking app made with Claude won't make you money, but creativity and actual problem solving is still valued and will make you money.
Think I've probably applied for 50+ job roles over the last 2 weeks and nothing but denials back yet

> Awful resume because I've just been doing crypto since I graduated
How to fix?
Apple has quietly halted App Store updates for popular AI "vibe-coding" applications most notably the $9 billion startup Replit and mobile app builder Vibecode.
After months of pushback, Apple is reportedly demanding major UX changes.
Replit is being asked to force its generated app previews to open in an external web browser rather than natively inside its app.
Vibecode was told it must completely remove the ability to generate software specifically for Apple devices.
@pcshipp 95% of people talking about these revenues are completely faking it, and it's so obvious. It takes years of effort and experimenting to get those numbers. Those SaaS reddits are full of fake stories.
How do people make $10K MRR or even $100K MRR while I’m still stuck at $9 MRR?

No idea how to start marketing

@jacobrodri_ A lot of these posts on these sub-reddits are just engagement bait or fake content to advertise the 100th habit tracking app built by Claude tbh.
