How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!I've worked with clients who've had monthly pricing on their app. Monthly pricing is the way the app store is headed.- Rcaraway1989

GOLD!Thanks Andy -- this post may actually be immensely helpful for a business I'm working on with a partner. I'd love to keep you up to date with how I've used it to help.- Rcaraway1989

How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!I want to clarify that I made this mistake for three YEARS before I caught on. You'd be ahead of the curve if you could adjust your habits appropriately that fast. I started coding in 2012 and started releasing apps in 2012. It took me maybe 2-3 months to learn to be just good enough to...- Rcaraway1989

GOLD!That must've been either 2012 or 2013. Actually met an investor there I still am friends with.- Rcaraway1989

GOLD!I love it! I also did Techcrunch (Disrupt?) in SF and we failed in similar ways (like trying to make the app too perfect).- Rcaraway1989

GOLD!It's important to look at this as if you're a venture capatalist -- you might invest your time in making 10-15 landing pages for different ideas and post them to different areas, and out of those 15, 14 of them will fail. But that 1 that does well will account a solid 99% of all the traffic you...- Rcaraway1989

How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!After selling the app portfolio, it's taken a bit for me to "reset" if that makes sense. I've focused a lot of effort on just improving myself in the last year or so. You're probably asking the wrong guy. VR IS coming very soon, and I'd imagine if you're familiar with the tech you're in a...- Rcaraway1989

GOLD!It's certainly ONE indicator of validation, though I bet it depends on how ugly and hard the workaround is.- Rcaraway1989

How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!I don't know why, but knowing that you were thinking about me makes me feel all warm inside. When I first started out, there was too much content online about others who were circlejerking about how great they were and not enough people who shared honestly about all the hardships and failures...- Rcaraway1989

How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!I did not use adwords -- I actually targeted some keywords through Google like "Instagram gif", "Share gifs to Instagram", then I posted the link to my landing page within the pages that were ALREADY RANKING HIGH for those keywords. An example: A Yahoo Answers! question was at the first...- Rcaraway1989

How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!I felt like I was spinning my wheels and needed a fresh start. My plans are to keep experimenting with shit and see what works. You'll notice I used the web to create traffic for my apps, and that's where I'm comfortable marketing. So I'll keep marketing online for different things. If I...- Rcaraway1989

How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store
GOLD!The ads were full screen ads provided by a third party that showed when a user reached the "share to instagram" page of the app. I think the ads didn't feel like a good long term investment -- they hurt reviews (fell from 4.5 star avg to 3 stars) and it didn't sit well with me to have part of my...- Rcaraway1989
