Day 29 of scaling a mobile app:

> $1315 MRR
> $73 revenue today
> 148 new installs

MRR seems to have hit a steady state this past week as the rate of new subscribers equals the rate of churning users.

We are pushing the "new subscribers" variable on three frontiers:
1. A/B testing onboardings to increase trial start conversion
2. Recruiting others to post organic videos
3. Trying to build a profitable meta ads machine

Will share how this goes and the lessons that come with it. Early meta ads signs are looking very interesting.

Day 22 of scaling a mobile app:

> $1265 MRR 馃槶
> 155 new installs
> $81 in proceeds

Did some analysis of the organic videos today:
- 45 videos posted on TikTok
- 3.8m views total
- 2 vids/day on average

As expected, the highest viewed video has more views than the 24 lowest viewed videos combined.

The curse of playing these power law games is that it's very demotivating until you finally get a winner.

You need to be able to push through a long period of failure until one attempt makes up for all the losses.

The blessing is that most people give up before finding a winner - which is exactly why there is alpha for you to eat.
