@FI_investor Almost always means the creatives pic/vids aren’t good

i fucking failed again 🤬🤬 i just stopped my meta ads and tiktok ads campaigns for my ios app because they are very unprofitable 💸 they were both targeting US audience only and both optimizing for purchases. back to doing research again to try to figure them out

@zzwitz If it only changes the number of started trials by 5% either way then that’s a complete no brainer.

@firstfruitsapp probably -5 to +5% for trial starts. doesn’t change all that much

The question still no one has answered is conversion rate. It obviously will be a lower conversion rate so the question is HOW much lower of a conversion rate

@egorka No the issue with app2web vs in app purchase is conversion rate significantly decreasing because they’re pushed out of the app. That’s the issue.

@firstfruitsapp The problem is not the conversion. It is renewals. We have users who subscribed back in 2016 and are paying again and again ever since via AppStore, no card will be active this long

@zzwitz So how many more or less initial subscriptions? Are you saying come in because of doing the web option?

@firstfruitsapp we’re seeing +10-15% conversion to paid in most cases. often minor drop on trial start, substantial gain in trial conversion and renewals generally +40-60% proceeds for a minority of apps (20%) we’ll see drop in car to paid but still large proceeds gain due to margin benefit

If you can get your business to making $10,000/m in 90 days or so, you don’t know how building businesses works. And that’s ok. And I don’t mean “oh I got a biz to $10k/m.” I mean you can consistently get businesses to making $10k/m in that timeframe and maintaining it.

I think my ads are kinda cooking on this new campaign. 70 active trials rn.

Nice guys.

@gabru0160 @Chris_Vergara54 Ya

@firstfruitsapp @Chris_Vergara54 Yeah

I think pretty good. This was 2:40 pm yesterday:)

Views are worthless. Unless they’re optimized around conversions. Simply put, videos in your niche won’t get your app subscribers if the content isn’t conversion based. This makes the organic content game even harder. Create a content engine that focuses on conversions not views.

I don’t build websites. But I have the name email site number ajd address of every business (physical) in the USA. If I sold websites I would literally email the entire list with a super cheap ai generated site sent to them so they could see what I built them. With that level of scale you could get 1,000 businesses, $0 upfront and $99/m You could automated whenever a change is requested, a make dot com automation would made the edit immediately upon the request and you’d never have to speak to a single person.

@RyanOlunix Yessir. Had hundreds of pre signups.

@firstfruitsapp Hugeee

How long did it take you to get your first paying user?

Hack for app builders: Spend more time outside in Gods creation. Trust.

Real revenge is being so big you forget about them entirely…

I’ve done this twice since 18. Do it. It’s worth it. Just use a computer when it’s time for work and enjoy the rest of life without the distractions.

Words to live by

@Chris_Vergara54 @gabru0160 Yup yup

@gabru0160 @firstfruitsapp That feeling is exactly what got me building SaleBell 😝 RevenueCat wins hit different when they feel like an actual event.

@gabru0160 Yup

@firstfruitsapp Nothing better than opening RevenueCat after lunch and realizing the day's already handled itself 😂

This is not legal and the FTC is crushing companies for doing this btw

@Oliverautomates Jesus is king. But thank you for the kind words ;)

@firstfruitsapp You are the king

I’m selling my app…. Not today. But as I shared the other day to show how well my ads are doing I am doing the exact same thing with the second app. Well, I’m going to get that app up to $10,000 per month in revenue and once I do so I’m going to sell it off. To clarify, I could wait till it gets higher if I find that the energy required to continue to scale is minimal in the profitability stays roughly the same Conservatively that app will bring somewhere around $200,000 on the low end and $400,000 on the higher end Depending on how smooth the sale goes, I’m going to rinse and repeat the same process every few months
