Side Project to $1k in Monthly Revenue and Beyond

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

One app grows to 1,000,000 installs and $50,000 monthly revenue and is sold in 2018, and industry data shows 17% of apps reach $1k/month. Practical tactics include ASO that drove ~1,000 downloads/day for one app, testing App Store Ads and content/engineering-as-marketing, and building simple tools. Recommendation: monetize with subscriptions (monthly + annual 50% off + trial), test paywalls aggressively, track install→trial and churn, and prioritize acquisition and retention metrics.
