Week 21: Growing my app to $10k MRR App: $6,512 Web: $260 Total MRR: $6,772 WoW Growth: 9.3% 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟧⬜️⬜️⬜️67% This week was one of the slowest growth, mostly because i messed up the ads in the beginning of the week but now are back to normal. At this point 50% of growth is organic and 50% paid, i also started a referral program which is very nice on the word of mouth recommending.

The more the mrr of an app increases the more heavy the "submit for review" button becomes.

@denisyurchak You should probably do an audit

My startup was hacked! I launched my own travel eSIM service, eSIMPal It started making money, the users were happy, and all was good, but today I woke up to a hacked website Somebody managed to get three 50 (!) GB eSIMs for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for free, and we started using them heavily I wired up Claude, and we discovered the issue: the user could pass a parameter from the client to the server and make the eSIM cost 0 dollars I fixed the issue and blocked this user, and he only managed to use 5 GB worth of data The internet is full of sharks, boys – triple test all the payment-related code, make sure different LLMs cross-check each other's work Now I'm writing code with GPT-5.4 and making Opus 4.6 review everything for vulnerabilities And my hacker bro, if you are reading this, I'll get you your Saudi eSIM, don't worry Use the promo code IHACKEDESIMPAL for 10% off and chill

@grandbusta thank you

@lorikmor Gotta follow you and your methods! Good work

@wonkybody the referred and the referrer are both rewarded

@lorikmor What’s your referral program like?

@harjjotsinghh i am

@lorikmor Why wait until $6k MRR to scale? Start now.

@tamimbuilds 🫡

@lorikmor Bro's consistency 🫡

@FraCappelli organic + ads

@lorikmor Those are pretty good Numbers! How are you promoting your app?

@BenToFound i dont spend a lot on ads, and i am good at them

@lorikmor Was listening to a podcast earlier with the Head of Growth at Lovable, and she was mentioning how paid ads are not necessarily the correct move for early stage ventures. Curious to hear what made you go with them rather than just organic?

@GregoryTheAIGuy no tiktok ads, i cant figure them out

@lorikmor Tik tok ads ? Did you spend to warm the campaign first ?

Yesterday was the 10th day in a row where my daily revenue for one app was $200+ from which 3 were $300+ Did someone say ads don’t work?

@GregoryTheAIGuy meta

@lorikmor TikTok or meta ?

@simonecanciello yeah meta ads

@lorikmor congrats man, are u doing ads or anything else?

@yikudoxyz compared to 18% is a pretty high drop haha

@lorikmor Messed up the ads and still grew by nine percent is a wild flex.

@quvavala true

@lorikmor Sometimes slower weeks reveal which channel is carrying more than expected.

@get100journey marketing is much harder

@lorikmor Man, this is awesome already! 🎉 Founder to new founder: did you find building harder or marketing harder?

I am training or rather fine tunning an ai image model myself and i haven’t had this much fun since last time i coded php websites with mysql, when llms didnt exist.

@SaasSnail A year but for most of it i haven’t regularly posted, most of the results are from past 2 months

@lorikmor How long did it take you to get this far?

I am one banger post away from getting monetized on X. Sadly I don’t have time to play the x dice this month.

@EntrepGrow Yeah a banger is easily 4.5M

@lorikmor My impressions are at 500k and I think I am also one banger post away and one banger post = remaining 4.5M impressions..😅

@Hey_TheRon @burakeregar I target but also use lookalikes

@lorikmor @burakeregar Hey bro. Where do you get your creatives from? Do you target or you let Meta do that for you. I haven't tried Ads

500 subs reached so fast, this week wasn’t as good as the last one because I messed up the ads😂
