[Journey] Building an iOS & Android App Empire

yes, now its even more difficult to find new niches as keyword popularity data less than < 50 has been disabled by Apple and all ASO tools are using historical popularity data. New keywords are not visible on these tools now as their popularity is less than 50.

Haha, easier said than done.

Every app is already made. There are no new niches.
The market is oversaturated.

not every app is already made. there are still many opportunities...and the best thing: new opportunities are constantly coming.

by the way, it is not even about saturation or niche. its about the marketing. you can have a shitty app, but if you get the app flow and marketing on point, you will make a lot of money.

thats true, but most of them are just copy of other apps and many of them are not even fully functional.

yes, Apple has changed a lot in the past 6 months. Lets see whats coming next.


Update:

The past few days have been crazy for me. Always made a minimum of $800 per day. Got multiple offers to sell one specific app.

About my friend who got this termination email. He actually send them a complaint email and took advantage of EU rights to manually check the termination, etc. (they called him a fraud, sent him auto generated emails, etc.) and then someone from Apple contacted him personally and the Apple employee himself sent an appeal. Its been around 3 weeks and he hasn't heard of them yet.
 
nakamura said:
Did you just keep sending appeals after you got appeal rejection? What appeal style worked for you?

my friends appeal got rejected and now he made a P2B complaint. Like a legal complaint.

The problem is they called him fraud, but actually it was just a meta data issue. He didn't act like he owns "Fortnite", he wrote the apps are "for Fortnite". Big difference.

Sorry, I never got notifications for these.
Unfortunately, Apple calls everything "fraud" so they can justify themselves. It could be just a similar icon, an app name, bought reviews, bait-and-switch, deceiving users... everything is fraud in Apple's eyes.
Many accounts got banned and unfortunately nobody got their account back. Especially the ones with name "veo", "nano banana", "sora"
Apple don't want to get receive complaints from other big brothers, so they just terminate your account as a shorthand.

Did your friend get their account back? Hope they did.
Edit: just read the post above. So he's still waiting. Good luck!
 
Best of luck with your goal. I'm trying the same with a basic app for my country users with AI... have basic knowledge of some old coding language, but here I'm trying and learning every day, failed but started again. A day ahead, I will

he didnt hear back from them yet. he filed a legal complaint using his EU right, then someone from Apple contacted him and opened an appeal on his behalf. Its been one month, no reply yet.

Yeah, they called everything fraud...but this guy named his apps like "Tips and Tricks for Roblox" and so on, which was totally fine before. I think they take so long to check the appeal because they dont know by themselves how to deal with it. but its definitely not a fraud. he never acted like his app is roblox. quite the opposite, he wrote its FOR roblox, so its basically already in the title that he isn't them
 
Update:

Could be possible I found a crazy growth hack, but I have to validate it. One of my app has been going viral for 2-3 weeks already. Today was by far one of the best days. This app has been making me $1500 so far today and there are still 8 hours left. So far in total I made $2000 in one day. New record so far and I guess I will still earn some more money.

About the growth hack I mentioned above, I have been doing some experiments lately to get traffic. It could be possible this is the result of it, but it could also be possible someone made viral TikTok videos and uses my app name (?), which could be possible but makes not much sense to me. So right now I am about to try the same growth hack for another app I have.

This serves as a reminder how fast you can make money if things go your way.

You literally just need ONE good month that makes you $30-50k and it will completely change everything. If I would reinvest the money I made in this month so far, and just put it into paid ads, I would immediately skyrocket my downloads and the growth would be crazy.

If this growth hack works for the another app (in a completely different niche) as well, I will make $5k per day.
 
Update:

Yesterday I had the best day ever in 13 years of Internet Marketing. I made around $2300 in a single day.

Today I woke up and I saw I already earned $1100. Right now it is at around $1.3k. Lets see where it goes today. My guess is it will be less because its monday.

However, my goal is to keep this up, increase marketing and use the same strategy for other apps as well.

I am making TikTok videos but none of them has been going viral so far. I will publish more and better ones tho.

I think I found another method but I am not sure if its totally random. I will try this method for two other apps and see if it will have the same effect.

Btw. yesterday (monday) earned $1.6k from one app and today so far its at $1k again. The goal is to keep this up and scale as much as possible. $30k per month from one app would be huge.


btw. here is a link of this app (just one app) for you to see that I am not just talking crap: https://verified.revenuecat.com/bhw

Cool! Dude, is it too late to buy your ebook and start coding? Or are you planning to release a new ebook?
 
Are you from the United States or do you use a VPN? Being outside the US, I spent a lot of time creating posts, but none of them got more than 2k views, even though they were from the US. I think it's because of the VPN.

Check if your audience is from the US. If yes,all is good. From my experience shadow banned accounts get 0 views.

If you get between 500-2k views constantly its because of your video or hook. Try different hooks.

I am using a vpn for account setup. But I do not use NordVPN or so, I am using a 4G Mobile Proxy for account setup and warming up

Yes, I do get an audience from the US, but if I post from my country, I get many more visits and interactions. I feel like it doesn't have the same reach, but maybe I'm wrong.
 
Very interesting journey. I want to ask do you reskin also the app or create from the ground? Following

Not too late. I will make a new one soon. Working on it.

@nakamura How do you translate app to multiple languages....is there a good tool or an easy way?
Click to expand...
Super easy to do it. Depending on your program language (Swift, Flutter, etc.). Just add strings instead of hardcoded text. Then translate the strings into all the different languages.

ground up, but if i make a new app I take my existing app, delete all the unecessary screens and just work from there. i do it primarily to save time. no need to integrate authentication, ads, iaps, etc. all over again

How long will it take? Should I buy the old one, or wait for the new one? Or are there other options?

I will try to hurry and finish it this week

Update:

As you guys can see on this link: https://verified.revenuecat.com/bhw the app revenue continued. Making me around $1200-2200 per day. Yesterday usually on Sunday the revenue is highest. During midweek its around $1200-1600 and on Monday and Friday it increases up to $2000.

I stopped all ads, so the entire traffic and revenue is organic.

btw. the link above is only for ONE app and it only shows IAP revenue. It doesn't include Admob revenue which is around $40-50 daily for this app.
 
are you promoting and getting download from tiktok and instagram or something else ?
my app seems to be dead :weep:

I get a lot organic traffic but I am also doing TikTok. I dont know if the traffic comes from TikTok because the people search for my app name on the App store.

You should do some marketing
