@marleen_swift yes I have!

@abezled Have you found someone?

looking for a short form video editor / VA need someone who can edit fast, knows tiktok/reels/shorts formats, and is reliable remote. flexible hours. DM me with examples of your work

I agree on building authority generated around your product. But that realistically won't be more effective then having hundreds of videos, angles, demos, creators, etc. Talking and demonstrating how they benefited from using your app/software. Im not discrediting the importance of it but that's the best way to his the mass consumer.

@abezled I totally get that. Distribution is huge, but what about building trust? Just having a person recommend your product isn't enough anymore. People crave authenticity and connections. How do we ensure those recommendations are truly genuine?

saw a founder post this week: "distribution is the ONLY moat left" he's right and it's not even close you can clone any app in a weekend now using cursor, claude, rork ... whatever but you can't clone a real person on camera genuinely recommending your product to thousands of people

@ZaraSeraphX DM me!

our creators have been cooking 100s of videos a day - real people making real content this is what distribution looks like when you stop trying to do it yourself

@julesvcode Already converting at $8 MRR organically is a really good sign, most apps launch and see nothing. Definitely recommend TikTok for organic growth and cross post same content to instagram. Good luck 🚀

My first iOS app has been live for a week. Here are the stats so far: - 150+ downloads - $8 MRR - $93 Revenue Time to start doing marketing now 🚀

@KaiXCreator Bad distribution 100%. You can have a mid idea with great distribution and still win, but a great idea with no distribution just sits

Which one kills most startups? - Bad idea - Bad distribution

@ErnestoSOFTWARE This has to feel great! When creators are reaching out for free, the app is doing the selling for you

First time this happens to me This Influencer want to promote our app for $0

@NahFlo2n That's why these are scaling so fast, you don't need to find a creator. Just a concept and you can flip it into a ton of variations

$35k–$110k/month ad accounts are testing animated metaphor ads like this not ugc not influencers not typical product demos just everyday objects turned into characters water attacking stains toothpaste fixing damage shower washing it away it looks strange but your brain understands it instantly no explanation no voiceovers needed the visual metaphor does all the selling ai creates scenes characters and variations at scale same concept flipped into dozens of angles that’s why these creatives scale so fast rt + comment “metaflow” and i’ll send the framework (follow for dm)

weird pattern i keep seeing running a UGC service for app founders is the founders who built their app in a weekend are the easiest, they understand marketing is the key lever the founders who spent a long time building think the product should sell itself just started a week ago and views slowly ramping up

@athcanft TikTok ads are cracked, couldn't imagine results if you let the ads keep running

havent touched this app in 4 months 1. ran tiktok ads in december 2. turned off ads in january 3. $$$$ it’s not “holy shit” money but it pays the bills

@sourfraser We see it across all spaces, last thing most builders think about is how they are going to distribute their product 🙃 41-52% is nuts though, congrats

Three ads. All scaling profitably right now. Thumbstop rates: 41.45%, 51.18%, 52.23%. That's what happens when you research before you touch the creative.

@simonecanciello I feel like we're always seeing the same pattern, a strong hook with a simple demo . Sounds like building an aesthetic and interactive Ui should be the main focus, so when it comes to marketing the content makes itself.

this is one of my best app ideas i’ve ever posted. i don’t know why it has only 10k views. but i just found a format you can use to promote it with $0. it has 3.1M views.

@jacobrodri_ Now imagine once he starts cross posting to different channels....🚀 What's better for paid: TikTok or Meta ?

this guy just scaled his app to $10,000 MRR using a single distribution channel: tiktok ads here’s one of his winning ads:
