@athcanft ur beautiful on the inside bro

as a looksmaxxing app founder this is probably not ideal 🥀

@ErnestoSOFTWARE do these perform well as spark ads?

Viral hook + AI reactions = 10.7M views and $20k/mo app this app is literally just spamming AI reaction reels and copying viral hooks "I wish i could kiss the google employee who showed me this" then proceeds to show the app That's literally all you have to do. To make money in 2026 >Vibe code your app with Rork >Make your AI character >Spam the feed That’s it. Read the article below for a full free guide on how to start scaling with AI

@athcanft u got Midas touch

turned on an old ad campaign and it’s printing lol

@timoxkoehler have viral slideshows worked as ads for you?

Can't believe I'm giving this away for free… the exact 5 steps I'd use to get back to $30k/mo if I would be broke and start over again: > pick a proven app (calorie tracker, bible, studytok) > build it in 2 days with cursor > spam 10 TikToks/day for 60 days straight > first Apple payout = $5k minimum if you did step 3 right > reinvest $100/day into TikTok ads

@ereniroh also how are you so good at getting consistent downloads 💪

@ereniroh congrats bro. what do you attribute to the succes of second app? was it easier to run ads? is it that some ads are harder to crack with apps? because most app idea seems to have atleast 10k mrr potential based on competitors

guys, make another app …and another, and another i’m not saying you should spend all your time vibecoding a portfolio of apps and neglect to learn marketing BUT… it’s pretty obvious that the biggest leverage AI has given us is: *SPEED OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT* It used to take a team of people and 6-12mo to make one decent product now one person can ship 10 solid apps in a year if they want to you would be *silly* to not take advantage of this… think in terms of probabilities: are you more likely to succeed by grinding 2 years on the first app you made? or are you more likely to succeed if you made 4 apps in that same time, each one improving as you leverage your experience from the previous ones? if you’re currently working on your first app, please, do NOT marry it learn from it yes, focus on marketing. you need to learn the ropes and earn your stripes. but eventually, if you see things aren’t working, it’s sometimes simply because: you. picked. a. bad. idea :( but good news: you. can. try. again :)

@maubaron do you run spark ads on tt slideshows?

our app made $777 in the last 24 hours here's EXACTLY how to do the same in 1 month: 1. find a successful mobile app doing $20k/month or more 2. Add your own twist to this app, change the colors, add a mascot, remove useless features 3. Make and launch the app in 1 week. I've seen people launch apps in a couple of hours here and our own app was made in 3 days. Just launch 4. Read this article and choose your distribution strategy, don't touch the app until you have at least 300 daily downloads (i'd recommend starting with your own posts) 5. Make your onboarding world class, i have a new video with @starterstory build going over exactly how to get this done If you do these 5 steps correctly in one month you should be making AT LEAST $3k-$5k/month from here you just need to scale what works and venture out into new distribution channels don't overcomplicate it specially if you're just stating out in the beginning there's so much to learn it's better to start from a validated idea and then work your way towards more ambitious projects

@mgregac @_eth0n bro are you still running spark ads on viral organic posts?

@_eth0n awesome, good luck with it btw few slideshows worked the best but the best one was some random photo saying "let's transform this winter..."- just motivational quote, we didn't even show the app in that one but yeah, def try spark ads - they might work great for you

i don't see many people talking about this anymore but i am still INCREDIBLY bullish on tiktok slideshows for consumer app distribution tiktok has claimed that the average slideshow gets: > 2.9x more comments > 1.9x more likes > 2.6x more shares and i believe it. high engagement + easy to plug app + perfect for automation all make slideshows the PERFECT vessel for organic growth we personally are running a organic campaign for one of our apps primarily tiktok slideshows 25 accounts posting 3x a day will report back.

@maubaron @Michal_Stan can you please clarify this because the algo seems to still waste money if the event is purchase

@Michal_Stan that's why you gotta optimize for the right thing, always optimizing for purchase events not clicks or downloads

6k reviews. 54k downloads. $20k/mo. 50% margins. All from paid ads. people who say “paid ads don’t work” usually mean: “my funnel is trash and my creatives are mid” so here’s my sauce in one sentence: run tiktok spark ads on your best organic posts (but make them organic looking ads): - killer hook - app demo - clear CTA DON’T start ads if your funnel is broken if your install to trial is less than 10%, fix onboarding first use an MMP and set it up right (SUPER IMPORTANT) start at $20/day and dump as many creatives into your campaign as you can the algo knows better than you your job is to feed the machine, and just let it pick the winners as for creatives, either make them yourself or hire UGC creators

@ros3nek0 @alexxgrowth you mean viral slideshow boosted as spark ads?

@alexxgrowth Tiktok Carousel brings in the highest ROI also because the platform is actively pushing it out as one of the key features on the app atm! Tried Carousel for some of my brand deals and the engagement was 3-4x better than a regular ads video.

stop laughing at the "slide 4" ad strategy... you are getting cooked by 16 year olds using canva most people see this image and think "cringe" or "deceptive" wrong. this is the single highest ROI format on TikTok right now because it completely bypasses "Ad Blindness" users have trained their brains to scroll past anything that looks like high production marketing but they stop for "Aesthetic" we deployed this exact strategy for a mobile app client (can't name them due to NDA) switched from UGC videos to "Pinterest Slideshows" targeting female creators result: 6x revenue growth in 30 days here is the actual sauce on how to run this: 1. The "Bait" (Slides 1-3) do NOT film content. go to Pinterest. search specific aesthetic terms: "old money," "clean girl," "that girl vibe." download 3 images. this acts as a demographic filter. if someone stops for "luxury hotel" pics, they likely have disposable income. you are targeting via *content*, not *settings*. 2. The "Value" Trap slides 1-3 need to be generic dopamine. "playlists for studying," "how to fix posture," "morning routine." get them nodding. get them to trust the carousel. 3. The "Gatekeep" Frame (Slide 4) this is where everyone messes up. do NOT put a big "DOWNLOAD NOW" button. frame the product as a "secret" or a "habit." look at the image: "habits i wish i knew sooner." psychologically, the user feels like they *discovered* a secret code instead of being sold a product 4. The Volume a video ad takes 4 hours to film and edit. a slideshow takes 4 minutes to assemble. we have teenagers churning out 50 of these a day. cost is $0. if one flops? who cares. if one hits? it prints. the difference between "burning cash" and "printing": Standard Ads: $20 CPM, user sees "Sponsored", scrolls instantly. Pinterest Slides: $2 CPM, user saves the post for the "aesthetic", downloads the app. if you want access to my army of 25,000+ teenagers that post slideshows like this dm me.

@alexcooldev Ai ugc or what type vids?

@p1bug with me videos convert better but slideshow still good if u know how to CTA right way

I just created another TikTok account on this phone and holy it’s not shadowbanned either. I posted yesterday and overnight the first post hit 10k views (still growing), with 98% US audience. I’ve already made $66 in revenue at the time of posting this, across both of my apps. My guess is: if your views are low, there are two main possibilities either your content doesn’t resonate with a US audience, or you’re having VPN/proxy issues. 😌

@ereniroh thx g

this is why I currently don’t like testing multiple creatives in the same adset but if you do, I’d say do this: let each ad creative in that ad set hit some threshold of impressions. For example, 20k impressions once the ad meta is feeding hits 20k impressions, pause it then let the next runner up that meta is going to feed hit 20k impressions, then pause it keep cycling like this then measure their performance against eachother, once all of them have an equal playing field of impressions ^ this is just a rough way to solve for what you asked

just submitted my tiktok winners to meta let's see how this goes every time i've tried meta before it's royally bumfucked me but maybe i didn't leave it enough time to optimise...

@ereniroh bro id like to learn from you....

@athcanft Daily budget?

not bad not bad

@athcanft Daily ad spend is 200$?

ok we’re back to $300+ days LFG

@ereniroh @Vamzzz93 if meta keeps spending on an unsuccessful ad in an ad set, is it wise to trust it's spending wisdom or to intervene and turn it off after a point

@Vamzzz93 @p1bug I’m gunna try it bro. if it works, then it’s endgame cause that would be so clean to manage

@ereniroh does this mean each adset (with one creative) will get mandatory spend?

I would do a testing phase, stick to basics: an ABO ad campaign with 3-10 ad sets in it one ad creative per ad set (pick your best historical creatives from tiktok, but make sure they’re as diverse as possible. it’s pointless to split learning budget testing minor diff creatives) get 7 conversion events per day for 7 days <- this determines your spend whatever your CPA was on TikTok, x7 per day. If it was $20, then $140/day per ad set is *bare minimum*

@EvoBradley including slideshows?

@p1bug 75% of the time, organic content that coverts and performs well organically, will crush under paid

I banned long text format 12 months ago to my team. Yes it will get you views, no it will not convert. It gets views because the watch time is insane. It’s a 5 second video with a paragraph written. No one reads that and says “I need to download this app”. Most of the times it’s just a bunch of bs written on screen and the brand isn’t even mentioned. Let me know once you’ve grown up and realized views don’t mean S**T.

@EvoBradley cheers. would you say the formats convert equally well in organic vs spark/paid tt ads?

It various depending on niche ofcourse, there are different market traditions and styles per niche. Example; the type of content you see in the fitness niche is completely different from the type of content you see in the beauty niche. But I would say organic talking head formats that show the product. 30-35 seconds long. Web demo shown around 8-15 seconds in. Built trust, reliability and state the pain point before any product is mentioned
