@thiago_linn @adamlyttleapps did you fix this?

@adamlyttleapps I've been struggling this with as well: I don't have enough data to get AEM data, so the ad manager shows a warning about when I try to do install campaigns (I use Singular MMP not meta). Currently doing app traffic campaign

It defaulted to target an older iOS version (not supported by my app) So I had to cancel the campaign. With automatic campaigns you can't edit such settings 🤷🏻‍♂️ Adding the app is proving tricky

@LinoLeighton whats your setup for meta ads?

Seriously believe there is not a single App out there that has better download to paid conversions than me… Consistently getting over 16% Our subscription prices are Monthly $11.99/Yearly $34.99 and limited offer discount $29.99

@adamtwtz @alexxgrowth slides

we spent $2,352 promoting a health app on tiktok. here's what happened. most brands are paying $8 CPM for ads nobody watches. this app converted $0.09 per install instead. we scrapped the whole thing and ran it through Content Rewards with an Adaptive AI slideshow agent instead. 25,638 downloads. $6,635 MRR. 30 days without paid ads. what changed: before: -> paying creators flat fees with no guaranteed results -> creators posting inconsistent formats with no proven structure -> briefs going back and forth for days before a single post went live -> 15-20 slideshows a week if they were lucky after: -> brands drop the agent link in their Content Rewards campaign brief -> creators open it, type a topic, slideshow is ready in minutes -> 200+ creators posting the same proven format simultaneously -> 25,638 downloads in 30 days -> $6,635 MRR. $0.09 per install. 2.82x ROI on spend same $2,352 and a 16x-38x better revenue outcome than Meta. the agent writes the story. Void AI generates the slides. exports a PNG pack and MP4 ready to upload. comment "SLIDES" + RT and i'll send you the agent so you can run this for your next Content Rewards campaign (must be following so i can DM)

@ereniroh I would like to be your friend

@kjakobsg @getbraavo I don’t have friends and my family is poor but no really, great point also congratulations on being an Iron Man stud, no easy feat

you don’t have to wait 60 days to get paid by Apple you can get paid DAILY I posted that I got a credit card to run ads… then discovered there’s a whole industry built on paying you UPFRONT I will summarize this industry for you, since I just explored it: @getbraavo easiest setup, plug and play, dedicated platform. they do this full-time. you have to pay ~3.5% fee on the money @adapty “adapty finance” product. I did a call with Max from their team who was awesome. they seem very flexible. 2.5% fee on the money BUT it seems encouraged/required that you setup Adapty SDK, which mean you’ll be paying another 1%, totaling 3.5%. if you turn off Superwall/RevenueCat and use Adapty instead (or you already use Adapty) then this beats Braavo objectively. @RevenueCat “revenuecat daily payouts” product. it seems like it’s not ready for primetime, or at least, is only being served to certain customers. I believe it’s limited to the US right now, and even then, I’m currently waiting to see if I qualify. invite-only vibe. 2.5% fee on the money and I’m assuming it’s only for RC SDK users, so with the 1% RC fee, same 3.5% total as Adapty (great deal). tldr; Braavo is clean, easy, and has the most history doing this. It’s the most expensive UNLESS you ONLY use Superwall and don’t already have/want to integrate Adapty/RC. if you’re a Superwall-only maxxer, Braavo = good Adapty is best if you already have Adapty or you’re down to make the switch to Adapty. If you want the best deal and you’re willing do a little legwork, Adapty = good Revenuecat *will* be best if you already have Revenuecat. But it’s not currently the best, because it’s currently, heavily gated. If you’re in the US and your application is accepted, Revenuecat = good I’ll probably make my decision tomorrow lol hope this helps some devs and sorry if I misrepresented anything about the offerings here, please correct me if so!

@athcanft budget?

off to a good start

@athcanft so some just perform way better than the others even though the only difference is sound? Lol

@p1bug it’s just 10 ads with different sound tracks lol

30 new ads submitted tiktok rejected for "promoting an ideal body type" i appealed with "it doesn't promote an ideal body type" tiktok approved

@ereniroh @kyanbuilds does this mean my creatives just suck lol

@kyanbuilds 😳

Paying $0.51 per install on Meta Ads rn Bringing in >$1.50 revenue/install Things are about to get serious

@algozeus_ yo running tiktok ads rn, check dms

2 months ago i have added tiktok ads as a new marketing channel on top of my content factory… … and doubled my weekly revenue 🤝 it was an experiment that worked, among many others that have failed however, to run ads successfully at scale, you need to test 100s of creatives… … and i quickly ran out of winners 🪫 i am now rebuilding everything: - more creators - more creatives - more formats - more platforms all to support the channel with the most predictable daily spend - ads if you are now also scaling your app with tiktok ads, let’s talk

@mcflyDev @indiesoftwaredv Spark ads on already viral slideshows?

@indiesoftwaredv Yes boosting slideshows on TikTok works nice Also on meta ads

16 days ago, I said: "AI videos are better than slideshows" I was wrong Spent: $300 Meta Ads + 50 hrs generating Kling videos Made: $1400 Revenue, $400 MRR Switched to slideshows for 3 days Spent: $2 Made: increased MRR to $1.029 Lesson: TikTok rewards save over watch time And slideshows are pure save bait

@indiesoftwaredv Organic slideshows or ads?

@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

@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
