“my name's George Lampropoulos I launched an app that makes 17 000 per month I launched within the last six months”

George Lampropoulos (founder), Starter Story on Starter Story, Dec 15, 2025

Editor's note: He paid a Fiverr developer about 250 to add the paywall; the rest was built with Rork and ChatGPT.

How they got customers

His co-founder is a big wrestling influencer, and pre-orders put the app around #18 on the App Store on launch day. When that audience was saturated, he put about 500 into deals with other creators and kept scaling influencer marketing.

Steps to try

  1. Partner with a creator in the niche and open pre-orders so launch-day downloads push you up the charts.

    From the source
  2. Offer creators a small upfront fee for 4 to 5 videos with a view guarantee based on a 2 to 5 CPM, and negotiate by phone.

    From the source
  3. Use public APIs for features you can't build yourself, and pay a freelancer for small tasks like the paywall.

  4. Have a backup for any third-party API your core feature depends on.
