App reviews are information gold. Not only yours. But also your competitors.

🙈I've been using my dev tool to spy on my competitors reviews! It's a great way to get a feel for what users are looking for in your space.

Devs! At what point in your app do you ask for a review?

Is the best time still after a successful event?

There’s exceptions, but:

B2B - Excellent retention, steady, systematic.

B2C - Big churn, explosive/exciting, rollercoaster.

Agree or disagree?

A positive review at the right time can have a huge impact.

I’ve been focusing on marketing a lot lately which I find challenging. This was a great reminder that my passion lies in building things of value.

Do positive reviews impact you?

3⃣ IF launching a new app AND a previous project is making money THEN spend from previous projects earnings on the launch of a new app.

How do you think about your ad spend as an indie?

When I run Facebook ads for Selfie-A-Day, I use a video of myself that I created in the app.

Result: I’m constantly getting roasted in the comments😂. Luckily they are funny and I always laugh at them.

Took a stab at writing a listicle for my SaaS’s blog.

Realizing on my marketing journey that I need to write more. Build up that writing muscle💪

Any feedback is appreciated.

I had no idea what to value the app so I tripled his offer asking for $15K. He emailed me back, $14K. I said yes.

We hopped on Skype, had a chat and transferred the money/app.

A fun moment on my indie hacker journey.

Reddit ads update:

Switched off the “Expand Targeting” option to try and optimize my ad spend.

Result: Killed my spend, apparently this feature was doing a lot.

Insight: I should try upping my bid for the subreddits I’m targeting.

Reddit ads update ⬇️

I recently removed all the "interests" I added to this section of the audience selection. Forcing the ads to only show in my chosen subreddits. Since the change I have noticed an increase in free trial starts. Posting the numbers tomorrow.

❌ I used to spend facebook ad money on my apps in big bursts.

e.g. $500 bucks on launch day, or $250 over the weekend

✅ My new ad spend motto: “Low & Slow”

e.g. $10 bucks a day for 30 days

Getting reliable return on ad spend data for my apps has been an ongoing struggle.😩

Getting reliable return on ad spend data for my website has been a walk in the park.😄

As I work on new ideas, I remind myself what has worked for me in the past.
Mainly: Providing tangible value to the end user.
