When I began my journey into mobile app development, I tried to learn from the best. One of the highlights of my journey was meeting with Nikita Bier. Hearing his success story and getting his guidance on growth hacking was both an honor and a game-changer. Though it felt early—just 4 months into the app business—I knew I had a lot to learn before fully grasping his insights. Yet, his advice and journey inspired me deeply, helping me scale my app to nearly $100K in monthly revenue. thank you @nikitabier

Almost $2M in App Store sales from one of our iOS apps. -3 years of work -Zero coding skills -Fully bootstrapped -70% of users from the US I’m not sharing this to flex, but to encourage those who aren’t developers, don’t have much experience, or feel like giving up when things get difficult. I’ve never even been to the US. I don’t really understand the purchasing behavior or social trends there, yet 70% of our users come from that market. I’m not a genius. I just worked hard every single day for 3 years. The first 2 years were terrible. No profit, just time and money going down the drain. But I kept going, learning, making mistakes, fixing problems, and trying again. I’ve been sharing this journey with you here, including the struggles along the way. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you don’t need to know everything before you start. You just need to be patient, educate yourself, and not give up when you hit your first few barriers. I hope this motivates someone who’s struggling right now. No matter how long it takes, keep learning, keep building, and don’t stop until you make it.

It’s been 2 years I’ve been hoping to pass 10K subs on my mobile app. Hope it happens this time 🙏

Officially crossed $100k in actual revenue over the last 28 days with my mobile app 🙏 In a previous post, I shared that we passed $100k MRR, but MRR and actual revenue are different. MRR is based on your current active subscriptions, so it can move up or down as users subscribe or cancel. For me, the number I care about most is actual revenue generated over the past month. Right now, my main growth strategy is pretty simple: running Meta + TikTok ads with a combined budget of around $1,800–$2,200/day. Important note: I used to hear that you should always separate US campaigns from other countries, but recently I’ve combined the US with some European countries, the UK, and Australia and I’m getting good results. I’ll test this more and share what I learn soon. My current CPA is around $18.

Finally hit $100k MRR with my mobile app. Playbook: - Built multiple organic TikTok pages. - If a video gets 100k+ views, I scale it with Meta Ads and TikTok Spark Ads. Ad setup: - Campaign type: VBO (always) - Optimization: App Purchase / Subscription - Target CPA: Under $13 Simple system. Find winners organically, then scale with paid.

One good organic video + a paid boost = $6,000 in sales in a single day for my mobile app.

Passed $1.5M in total sales on my mobile app These screenshots from App Store Connect show the difference between total sales and proceeds — the amount we actually receive after Apple fees and taxes. Sales: $1.52M Proceeds: $1.2M

While Elon is celebrating his $75B IPO, I’m celebrating my $78k MRR. Same feeling, fewer zeros.😅😅

Did 27 million organic views in the past 30 days for my app. This was across 29 Insta & TikTok accounts. Here’s how we pay our creators: • We find students or people who already have TikTok pages getting views. They are not big influencers, usually just good editors with strong posts. • Base payment: $600 per month for 1 daily post. • Bonus: $50 for every video that passes 100k views. • Monthly payout cap: $1,500 in bonuses. • Creators can manage more than one page and get the same payout structure for each page. So far, this has been a fair structure that works well for both sides. Our risk is the $600 monthly base if a page does not perform. But it also motivates the creator because they can earn up to $2,100 per month from one page, which is great for a student spending 1 to 2 hours a day creating content. Also, thanks to Mike for recommending his platform, Viral.app. I’m using it to track all our pages and its API to connect with my Claude coworker for reports.

At $67k MRR. Every morning starts the same way: opening claude and messaging my cowork. best co-founder i've ever had.

This is ridiculous! 😅 My app’s gross revenue in Apple dashboard is $1.4M The $1.1M in the photo is proceeds after Apple fees. I wish Apple’s fee was lower 🤷‍♂️

I just passed over $1 million in revenue with my mobile app. Thats crazy... I’m not a developer. 
I had never built an app before. 
I’ve never even been to the USA, even though 80% of my users are US-based. No VC. Fully bootstrapped with the money I made from e-commerce back in the day. I used to like and comment on other founders’ posts when they celebrated their app milestones, congrats them. DM them, asking silly questions about how they made it. And... now here I am, posting my own $1M revenue milestone. To all of you out there who feel like beginners, who are struggling, and who feel like things are not working... Just remember, it takes time. Maybe more time than you planned. But it can happen. Blessed 🙏🏻

At $55K MRR 📲 Scaling to hit $300K by Nov 2026. Hope it goes as planned 🤞

If you’re an app founder and running paid ads, what’s the average CPA you’re getting? For me, it’s around $30 in the US. Sometimes it drops to $20, but only for a few days. Do you only run ads in the US, or do you also test other countries? Are CPAs cheaper there? CPI, cost per install, is usually lower, but CPA, cost per acquisition/purchase, is what really matters.

What’s the best way to create over 20 TikTok and Instagram accounts without getting banned?

The Meta ad ChatGPT is running in Turkey is crazy. A low-quality AI home decor ad!? Come on guys, you’re ChatGPT. You can do better than this.

I was about to force users to subscribe before letting them into my app turns out 84% of my buyers come AFTER they skip the first paywall forced paywall (delay on X skip) vs skippable paywall — here's the real data: 👇 past few months i was wondering: add a delay on the skip button and force users to sub before entering? or let them skip and explore first? which one brings the AHA moment? my app can't give a free trial bc of AI costs. users can come in, explore, but to take action the paywall pops up with Claude cowork + Amplitude MCP i pulled the real data letting users skip the paywall and come into the app is the winner but ur in-app UI has to be nice, catchy, promising — otherwise they bounce im using @Superwall for paywall testing + controlling the X button delay

$300k MRR in 6 months. the goal for my app. Right now at $54k MRR. Built this live dashboard inside claude cowork. plugged in my revenuecat api + tiktok ads data, then used claude artifacts to keep it running 24/7. refreshes itself every 5 min. The screenshot is just the top of the dashboard, below it i also have: → auto-detected signals flagging scale / hold / kill moments → 14-day CPA trajectory with break-even, scale, and kill reference lines → daily P&L (spend vs estimated LTV value) → ad funnel: impressions → clicks → conversions with drop-off % → campaign-level verdict engine — every row tagged scale / keep / cut / kill with the reason → per-campaign daily spend × CPA chart for the full 14-day history → creative leaderboard sorted by spend, each ad with its own kill flag → unit economics block (payback window, D30 / 4-mo / lifetime LTV, BE + scale + kill CPA thresholds) → 6-month month-by-month MRR + ad spend trajectory plan → top 5 priorities ranked by $ impact on MRR → in-app journey panel (paywall CVR, onboarding, retention) no spreadsheet. no looker. one live page that actually knows when to push and when to pull back.
