April 2024 - $3418 (+$1189)

10 months in. Yet again my best month so far.

This month, I’ve reached my goal of ramen profitability ($2,5k).

Meaning, I’m no longer burning my savings to pay for my life expenses. Which is a big relief, but not as big as I’d expect honestly.

Here are my stats:

Mobile apps

  • 💰 AppStore Sales: $2,35k
  • 💸 AppStore Proceeds: $1,88k
  • 🤖 Google Play Proceeds: $33
  • 📺 Ads (AdMob): $973
  • 🔗 Other: $20

Non-mobile

  • 🍋 Sales: $401.32
  • 🔗 Affiliate: $111

Total

$3418 (+$1189 or +53.38%)

  • 🐦 Twitter following: 3,978 (+456)
  • ✉️ Telegram group: 341 (+32)

Current portfolio

  • 8 iOS apps (I killed 2 apps)
  • 4 Android apps
  • 3 websites (heymallorca.org, readreviews.dev, mobiletools.dev)

This month I took it easy. I visited my family and was sick for quite a bit of time, so I didn’t push projects too much.

My focus was on ReadReviews, and while the project initially generated some sales, it eventually lost momentum.

Feedback suggested that the app’s offering was unclear, so I’m planning to improve it by building a landing page (which should improve SEO as well).

Although I’m not bothered by it because my main goal with this project was to scratch my own itch, I do plan to leverage insights from it to build some of my next projects.

Surprisingly, my mobile apps experienced organic growth in April with minimal effort on my part.

Apple might not be the easiest to work with sometimes, but at the same time, it gives an amazing platform to build for, which I’m very grateful for. I haven’t seen great results on Google Play, but I’m working on improving it.

Until the next time ✌️
