I’m 26. I’ve been building software for the last five years, while working in big tech. My failures and mistakes have taught me valuable lessons about: • Building a team • Executing a mission • Turning an idea into reality It’s all been leading up to now:
Day 31 of building a 6-figure IOS app: New day, new TikTok video. Still warming up the account. I’m struggling to find time to film content that involves my app, but I’ll make it happen soon. I guess marketing’s a long game. Need to make some improvements to my MVP also…
Day 30 of building a 6-figure IOS app: 4 TikTok videos, ~5k views 344 likes total, 133 likes 45 bookmarks on latest video. Still ROOKIE numbers but it's warming up the account nicely. About to post another video
Day 29 of building a 6-figure IOS app: Warming up my TikTok account by consistently posting and interacting. I got my third download. The user completed the onboarding then exited at the paywall. Going to film some original content soon
Day 28 of building a 6-figure IOS app: Posted another TikTok video. In just over one day I have 2.5k combined views and 146 likes. I feel like it’s up to the algorithm to make my content reach exponentially more people or not. Continued learning about mobile app marketing.
Day 27 of building a 6-figure IOS app: Posted my first two TikTok videos. Reached >1k on the first and ~250 on the second so far. The second has a view-to-like ratio >10% but reach has slowed. Neither are product focused.
Day 25 & 26 of building a 6-figure IOS app: 25; resubmitted new version to apple. 26; working on my marketing strategy.
Day ~24 (I skipped a few days 🤫) of building a 6-figure IOS app: App Store has approved my app for distribution 🥳 Time to start marketing!
After only 10 days of building in public, Here are my stats! 🎉🎉🎉 Highlights 2.3K impressions (+282%) 228 Engagements (+174%) 79 Likes (+276%) 100 followers 🎉🎉🎉 This community is filled with so many interesting people. I can’t wait for what’s to come.
Day 23 of building a 6-figure IOS app: • Worked on a bunch of speed optimisations to improve UX Whenever you build a product it’s really important to start with core functionality and go from there It’s ugly but it’s 80-90% of the work to get users their desired outcome
Day 22 of building a 6-figure IOS app: • Found a new preprocessing model that’s faster and cheaper • Still need to work out how to get it to output what I need Only had ~1 hr to build today
Day 21 of building a 6-figure IOS app: • Got free credits from a leading AI GPU and inference platform (don’t be afraid to enquire!) • I have chosen a replicate model that will allows users >3X requests for the same $. If I self host in the future this could be much more
Day 20 of building a 6-figure IOS app: I spent the whole day researching the AI inference & GPU server landscape There are so many interesting companies! But everything comes with trade offs between usage, speed and cost 😭 This will take at least another day to finish…
Day 19 of building a 6-figure IOS app: I'm getting there 🏃 Today I: • Recorded and edited demo video (canva + capcut) • Fixed a couple errors • Set up products in dev portal & connected to superwall • Enrolled in the app store small business program
Day 18 of building a 6-figure IOS app: • Formalised onboarding • Made all share options work (instagram, sms, native share, copy/paste) • Created simple landing page, purchased and connected custom URL and added terms & privacy pages • Finished settings page Whew! ⚡️
Why can’t you beat someone who works 7 days a week on their craft? 1.) It’s all they think about 2.) They have enough time in 1wk to fail, pick themself up again and try again 3.) Even if they take a holiday, it clears their mind so they perform even better when they return
Day 17 of building a 6-figure IOS app: • Adjusted onboarding questions to better fit problem/solution utility of app I provide a more tailored, professional experience than competitors and use a hard paywall. So must nail the experience to get a good conversion rate!
Day 16 of building a 6-figure IOS app: Productive day finishing off main features of the app incl. superwall pages While working I really felt the challenge (& pain as a perfectionist) of doing the minimum needed for MVP and not getting sidetracked Builders take full ownership
