You can build 100 apps
no marketing = no revenue
Elitza Vasileva@ElitzaVasileva
Harsh truth: You can ship 100 features. You can build the perfect product. But without marketing and distribution? You're going nowhere...

I agree with this point. Another reason I don’t run ads for my mobile app is that I already have to give up 15%/30% to the App Store, plus around 7% in taxes. If I set up a company, the total tax could go up to about 25%. That means even before ads and maintenance costs, I’m already losing around 22–55% of my revenue.
If I add ads and the margins aren’t high, as an indie hacker with no VC or investors like me, I’d probably go bankrupt. So for now, I’m focusing on organic growth, and I’ll save paid ads for my web products.
For me, I’d still take a $10k/month project with $9k profit over a $50k/month one with only $5k profit lol. 😌

@tonnoz This and you lose 30% to Apple and then have to spend the rest of your measly profit on ads to get app installs I love my profit margins are 90% not 10%!
