I implemented some of @KSlazinskiโ€™s advice & my impressions are up 55% โค๏ธ
#ASO #buildinpublic

Conversion & IAPs are up too, but itโ€˜s too early too call that with confidence. (smaller numbers, higher volatility) ๐Ÿค“
Progress Report
I'm building 3 projects this year (next to a busy life).
Here is my progress so far #buildinpublic AMA

- Stenos : Live & Revenue
- Cinemoid : In beta
- Project III : Validating
โ„น๏ธ App marketing data update

After a marketing push, there is a clear after effect:

- Weekly downloads are 2x
- Sales are >10x

(Based on two 3 week periods)

#buildinpublic
Some iOS marketing experience: I was in a slump about a month ago (low downloads and in-app sales) ๐Ÿซฃ

I turned on/up the performance marketing (Search Ads) that worked like ๐Ÿš€

What I learned:
#buildinpublic share your wisdom

Im running a marketing campaign on cimemoid.io over AdWords. Validate before you elaborate ๐Ÿค“

Conversion from click to signing up to the mail list is like 1% is that reasonable?
@matteo_spada @SebastianRoehl Just for the #buildinpublic crowd, don't tell anyone else ๐Ÿคญ:

Stenos.io:
- Search Ads: <1 euro per install (Northern Europe minus VK)
- Ad Words: 55 cents per click (UK only)

Cinemoid.io: A little over a euro per click (NL + Flanders)
Getting impression turns out to be super simple (Ad Word/Search Ads), getting that to convert: harder than I thought. ๐Ÿ˜…

But it is a really great way to improve your product. #buildinpublic
Hey #indiedev / #buildinpublic what is the smartest way to collect testimonials?
The press release of last week didnโ€™t gain a whole lot of traction. This week Iโ€™m gonna work on link sharing.

A few paid blog networks reacted, I have no budget for it & Iโ€™m not sure that itโ€™ll work for me. Any experience on this?
#buildinpublic
3 Projects progress report:๐ŸŸฉ๐ŸŸงโฌœ

- Stenos.io โœ…

A lot of fun, learned loads!

@onurgenes ๐Ÿ™ shared experience rocks!

โค๏ธ #buildinpublic
It hard to be patient.

Stenos.io has been growing >50% month over month (4 months in) ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿš€

I think that is pretty good. But it now has been 7 days since the last sale, and that feels ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Got to keep an eye at the bigger picture.
#buildinpublic
Tomorrow is stenos.io's 90th day. ๐Ÿฅณ
(of which only the last 3 days world wide availability)

She generated:
- 30.000 impressions
- 350 downloads
- 54 purchases
- loads of fun

Happy Easter!

Ehi, ื”ื™ื™ ๐Ÿ‘‹

Just released the stenos.io version that supports Hebrew & Italian๐Ÿคž

#buildinpublic
Good morning! Hopefully I can help 1,2 iPhone developers today. #indiedev

I had a hard time getting screen recordings down to the App Store size: github.com/sbalen/AppStorโ€ฆ

Here is the (rough) script I used to edit them. Maybe you can use it.

Don't forget to #buildinpublic
Customer support calls can really ignite small pang of fear.

But they are almost always wholesome afterwards.

Customer feedback is your startup most valuable resource.

#buildinpublic
This week I have been investing in some content on and quality links to stenos.io. Feels ๐Ÿ˜Š

Search traffic hasnโ€™t exactly exploded yet. But what I gather from the #startup #buildinpublic scene it isnโ€™t supposed to yet. (More like a gradual thing)
Amazing how good small successes feel at your indie project.

Yesterday the first international sales rolled in, and my day is like 20% better.

I can recommend a side project to everyone.

#buildinpublic
All my traffic is direct or social (mostly social).

Getting traffic is work! Today has been a long day of creating content.

When is that sweet search traffic coming huh?

#buildinpublic
๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ณ I get another critical error over the mail

It is so good to get these ๐Ÿ™

Always a little hard to start working on them (because I rather run away). But there is no other way to get your app really good.
