Your original app idea is why you're broke

If your app idea is original, congrats. You probably just found a market nobody wants. That sounds harsh, but it was the most expensive mistake I made as an indie dev. I treated “unique” ideas like an

Is there honestly any reason to start an LLC as an app founder? Seems like a headache without much upside You can write off your business expenses as an individual, so that alone isn’t a good enough reason

7 day wait after requiring 12 testers using the app for 14 days straight Totally reasonable ☠️

You need to get obsessed with: - CTR - Onboarding completion rate - Download-to-paid conversion - Retention If you want to get anywhere in this game.

Hot take: Marketing becomes more fun than building when it starts making you money.

It’s honestly crazy how easy it is to make money with a mobile game. You don’t even need users to pay you. > give them something fun > get them hooked > show a few rewarded ads > get paid by advertisers. Millions of people are playing these games every day. Most devs are completely ignoring this market.

You need to be running paid ads on a credit card. Most apps are operating on razor-thin margins. Getting 3% cash back on every dollar you spend on ads is absolutely huge in this game.

1,370 apps have been submitted to the RevenueCat Shipaton so far. 295 of them mention habits. 173 mention budgets. 109 mention sleep. 8 mention dating 😅 Everyone read the same indie hacker thread, apparently.

Reading books is a waste of time Find the PDF, feed it to your agent, and have it pull out the key lessons you can actually apply to your life Turns 2 weeks of reading into 2 minutes
