- How to make your first $1,000 from a mobile app in 9 simple steps:
- Most indie devs are stuck at $100 MRR. We studied over 12,000 apps and built a free roadmap to help you cross $1,000 MRR. Repost and comment “ebook” and I’ll DM it to you for free
- 89% of app founders struggle to grow to $10k MRR. We studied 12k apps and built the exact roadmap to hit $10k. Repost and follow, and I will DM it to you.
- I went from living in a dorm with $500-savings to an 8‑figure, fully bootstrapped SaaS in my 30s. We built @adapty, a tool that 12k developers use to grow their in-app revenue. Here’s a realistic roadmap of building a company in your 20s (mistakes included):

- Replying to @iwitaly3 - After onboarding → show a paywall. Every time. If your app has no backend/API costs, test a free trial. And don’t give too much away for free. Limit it or cut it.
- Replying to @iwitaly1 - Don’t just build from an idea. Start with keyword research. Or test viral angles on TikTok. Try Reddit, anywhere you can hack free distribution. Distribution is everything.
