Short excerpt
I make about $5k a month currently.
about $1k/month in normal expenses
Revenue clues
- iOS app portfolio is currently about $5K/month; regular monthly expenses: Apple Tax $750, Claude Code $100, APIs/services $100, about $1K/month; there is another $500-$1,000 advertising test recently; the author said that after removing advertising, the ASO/SEO/AEO driver combination can exceed 70% pre-tax margin; the reply stated that there are about 20 apps, kill losers, optimize winners
- Mainly ASO, SEO, AEO; Claude/Codex + Astro MCP for idea research, keyword verification, App Store Connect API, RevenueCat/Superwall, screenshots and metadata automation; emphasis on less auth, low friction, pan-keywords + brand title structure
Summary
This is in contrast to Frederick/Pushscroll's "advertising amplification": Appmaxxer takes the multi-app, ASO/SEO/AEO, slower but high-margin portfolio route. The core value is clear in the fee schedule, which states that a $5K/month app portfolio does not necessarily require heavy advertising, but does require a lot of metadata, keywords, screenshots, pricing and review process automation.
