Hello,Last week I posted about my new app that took traction fast and what I learned from that experience. Some people asked to post an update so here it is (Long post ahead)!The app has been on the store for 17 days now and let me tell you the past 17 days were quite a ride.After the app took traction the first day, I can't explain the feeling when I had my first sale. Imagine a guys jumping from joy over a 1.99$ In app subscription. Yeah that was me!Then the feeling of the first 100$ in sales was even better! I crossed the 2 digits mark! I know these numbers are next to peanuts to you guys but it's the feeling that the product I did is really being loved by people is what makes me happy. I was also happy that this time I'm not paying the apple 100$/year subscription from my own pocket!My app 'TreeLinks' (on the App Store only) lets users make a 'link in bio' page. let me tell you I LOVED some users designs! It was amazing seeing what people can do with the tools I developed. I did the tool and some people use it much better than I do! I even rolled an update with a 'Featured' screen in my app to share the best profiles people did.After the featured page rolled, something clicked. The number of paying users increased dramatically. I think people seeing other people doing awesome link in bio motivates them to do their own. I'm liking this featured page concept and thinking to enriching it.One day I open google analytics and saw that in the last 30mins 28 visitors were on the website (If you visit any user link you are considered a visitor). The next couple of days I was stunned that on regular 50 people where using it in the last 30 min whenever I check. Today as I'm writing this post the average is ~70 per 30 min. However it reached 280 people in 30 minutes once which is unbelievable.On the other hand, this story isn't rainbows and butterflies. There are some things that worries me. The amount of people that use the app and even the amount of sales in a day are unexplainable. One day sales are above the roof (~40 sales), another days there is barely any sale. One day the Analytics show 6k visitors, the next barely 1.5k. These numbers are really unexplainable to me and I worry one day the app just dies. But it is what it is so I'm fine with it.I'm sorry this post isn't advices on how to grow as I really don't how as well. Like most of you I'm still trying to find my own success. The only advice I can give is that you have to try and try a lot, and when you try you might very well fail. But failing isn't the end because you can try with a different product again. At least this is my approach as I did many products that didn't succeed. Especially us developers, we are good at making a product but unlike. business people we lack the skill of validating if people actually would like this product or if it will succeed.So here I am with some bizarre analytics. One day the app goes crazy and the other day things are slow. But things in generally are going well!I'll definitely roll a new update if you guys request! And thanks for reading till the end! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
