@JoaoZorro Nice insight!

Right focus. Now go deeper on it: → find the exact moment users drop off and fix that first → talk to users who stayed past the first cycle, that's your blueprint → add small wins early so users feel value before they even think about cancelling Short-term dips are fine if retention improves. That's how you build real MRR. I'm building AI Solo Founder to hellp solo founders solve exactly this stage, turning revenue spikes into long-term growth. If you want to explore it, feel free to reach out.

$346 yesterday $280 web / $66 app Now focusing on LTV Revenue might dip short-term, but retention > acquisition Your app is not sustainable if users churn after the first cycle. I need to fix that.

@gabru0160 Exactly. Real money comes from keeping the users

@Jack8b4 most people chase revenue… few fix retention. that’s where real money is made.

@adel_ljaljic ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@Jack8b4 true gotta get that churn down

For people running ads: How important are lookalike audiences early on? Did you use them when you were just starting running ads? How much data do you need before they actually work?

@justddev That’s the life

nothing beats getting a conversion notification while you’re in the middle of the Sahara desert

@MarketScope_HQ ^^^

@Jack8b4 Got first paying customer from Reddit, too. It is indeed great.

#4 on Unicorns’ fastest growing startups list 🚀 $0 ad spend. The real driver: constantly A/B testing distribution channels. Reddit ended up being the winner, joining the right communities and actually contributing first is key. Double down on what works and keep testing.

Reddit growth (15 min/day): Don’t start with your product Start by finding people already asking for a solution. Even if they are asking for it for free. If the demand exists, you can build into it That’s the signal most people miss If it feels like an ad, it won’t work

@xgautamsingh What lol?

@Jack8b4 Does unicorn has million apps ?

@athcanft What makes an ad fail? If the LTV < CPR? Or what metric do you measure?

@Jack8b4 like $200-500 of spend

new ads failed hard so time to submit another batch i actually love this anxiety when my ads are not doing well very motivating to sort it out

@pcshipp How did you get those stats?

I can't imagine who would pay for this type of app Just 100K downloads & $400K/month No API cost, no server cost, no tech cost

@bas_fijneman Love your page. Keep up the good work

33 → 385 followers in 10 days. After a year of barely posting. The only thing I changed: I stopped trying to sound like a founder and started sounding like a tired dad who builds stuff at 1am. Honesty scales. Who knew. 15 away from 400. Let's see how weird this gets ro🚀

@Hritik7742 Yea it’s only iOS right now but next steps would be launching android. It’s coded in react native so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get the android version out I just know their release process is a pain

@Jack8b4 Are you only building iOS apps and not Android?

Yesterday: $596 🔥 +$216 app +$380 web Highest day yet. Don’t give up. Today: focused on increasing LTV so I can start ads

@amitkushh One of the apps has a web version too so for web I just mean that

@Jack8b4 $380 on the web mean saas?

@foundrceo Any advice lol

@Jack8b4 nice! now just need to figure out what ads actually work 😂

Yesterday: $42 All from the app Had a couple cancellations this morning Right now I’m focused on increasing LTV so when I get a user, they actually stick. Goal is to get those changes done by the end of today.

@gabru0160 My revenue cat MCP told me it was $11 but I just looked myself and it says $55 so I’ll have to get back with you about the LTV. Not running any ads at the moment so no cost for acquisition.

@Jack8b4 🔥 Solid. What’s your current LTV vs CAC looking like before you turn on ads?

@pcshipp I’m not doing any ads. It’s just me posting in sub reddits

@Jack8b4 Good how was Reddit ad is it low CPI?
