“So combined revenue between the website and the mobile app we've done over 25 000 in the past four weeks”
Editor's note: His first app ever. He says every line of code was vibe coded and he wrote none himself; built V1 in about a week over Thanksgiving break.
How they got customers
Posted short videos three times a day across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook with his own face on the brand (he had done UGC work before). Once a format converted, he remade it with variations, had UGC creators copy it, and put money behind it on Meta and TikTok ads.
Steps to try
Solve a problem from your own hobby; he was using ChatGPT for guitar tones and found it inaccurate.
