Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Finished interviewing freelancers and now I have a team. Everyone keep your fingers crossed I can close a big deal this week. Unrelated, I'm currently abroad and decided to book myself a luxury hotel for the last two days. They upgraded me and now I'm in some huge apartment being treated like...- • nikita •

NOTABLE!Thanks :) That's cool! All my apps are based on something I needed. You'll find when it's released you'll be adding features and guiding it in different directions based on user feedback. Make sure to include a lot of feedback buttons for this reason! As for Android, I've heard of the...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I've actually spent the past week posting job ads around Upwork and other platforms and selecting freelancers. I thought it would be difficult to find competent people but some are actually brilliant designers. Part of it is because I'm willing to pay high rates. Created a whole onboarding and...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I've reached a point where I might need to start outsourcing the design work for my design agency, as I'm getting quite a few projects. However, I have no idea where to start. The way I design things is very much my own style and I need it to be absolutely perfect -- I'm not sure I could find...- • nikita •

NOTABLE!So, my app was finally featured on the Today tab as App of the Day yesterday! Should have got around 5-10k downloads, and hopefully it'll skyrocket my daily downloads for a few months, like the first feature did. I'm happy, because this is big recognition from Apple that my app is good.- • nikita •

NOTABLE!My Upwork score is now 100% again! So I'm sure I can get more jobs from there now if I ever need them. No one will hire someone with 75%, or even 80% (I don't even look at people who have less than 95% for my own projects), but 100% is perfect. Just have to keep it there. Released an update for...- • nikita •

"Hustle House": What would you want living-wise as an entrepreneur?
HOT!A big a$$ open plan penthouse overlooking the city. Only me there. Gym nearby as I'd like to get out of the house and not be completely isolated. Airport nearby so I can fly off somewhere every month. It'd be nice to live somewhere hot and near the ocean, but living in a gloomy city is what...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Usually with apps lots of people subscribe the first time they open it due to that "subscribe to access more" popup. Some cancel, some remain. Some subscribe later on. I don't know about churn rate, App Store's analytics don't measure uninstalls. Though I did implement Firebase recently to get...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!It's a subscription app, payment is either weekly or yearly. I can't send them emails as it does't require email login, but I can send notifications. I'm working on creating more monetizable features- • nikita •

NOTABLE!Better. I managed to raise my Upwork score to 80%, should go up to 85% once they recalculate the scores again in a few days. I might have two more jobs from there too. But I've decided to move off Upwork completely. They keep raising the fees and have been known to kick people off randomly...- • nikita •

NOTABLE!Decided to stop being a little bitch and start taking action again. I didn't coincidentally make $15k in May. What I'm doing For my app Joining forums relevant to the niche and contributing a lot. Linking my app in the signature. It might take a while, but if I establish a presence on the...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Upwork doesn't let you change feedback once the job is complete unfortunately. I now ask all my clients to leave a review, I think my only option going forward is to complete more jobs so the rating rises. I've listed my business on several directories, I even have a sponsorship for one of...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I feel like every week is different from the previous. Sometimes I'll have an amazing week, sometimes it'll be trash. This week is one of those trash weeks. All my freelance clients are unresponsive and annoying, to top it off Upwork has lowered my rating because a client didn't leave a review...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I spend around $800 on the marketing agency (ASO, analysis of how the app is performing), and $300-ish on Apple Search Ads. The marketing agency has improved by conversion rate hugely, and frequent ASO updates really help with the ranking. Profit is increasing slowly, this is helped quite a...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Not bad, sales for the app are around ~$1.2k per month (but I spend most of it on marketing). Less freelance work than usual but should have more jobs soon. Yeah, because sometimes the app is featured and gets a huge influx of users, then it evens out. In terms of marketing I'm focusing on...- • nikita •

NOTABLE!Freelancing is what I'm relying on until my app takes over -- it's just that last month I had an angel of a client and made a lot more money than I normally can. I go through periods of being happy and free, and panicking. I guess this will be my norm for now!- • nikita •

NOTABLE!Been having mini panic attacks daily lately. Revenue is down this month and it just hit me how I don't have a steady paycheck like at my day job.

NOTABLE!I've been free from work for a few weeks now, officially since Monday. I'm really happy, even though I have no idea if I'll make enough money from my business consistently.
