GojiberryAI $3.9M ARR GTM breakdown @Dylan_txa_ / 2026-07-21 08:37 UTC Added 2026-07-23 (last 24-48 hours) | Gojiberry AI costs 11 months from $0 to $3.9M ARR; the author claims that the first company sold for €6M ARR; cold email infra about $600/month, 295K emails in 90 days, generating 900 + opportunities; LinkedIn influencer posts about 10 per week, about $500/post; 5-8 demos/day, about 70% close to free plan; an organic post added $5K MRR in 24 hours | Gojiberry AI, AI outbound/sales automation products I use Gojiberry as an outbound; LinkedIn 5 accounts 30 connection requests + 30 DMs each day, cold email 41 domains/123 inboxes, LinkedIn 6 content per day, Reddit 12 months 14.8M+ views, YouTube/SEO about 50K visits/month, paid influencers, FB ads, UGC about 1,200/month | Medium to high: The author is the team/founder side. The channel, cost and GTM actions are very detailed and consistent with the archived Gojiberry $3.5m ARR/$300K MRR record on 2026-07-10/14; however, the main post includes RT/comment CTA, lacking backstage screenshots, gross profit, CAC/LTV, churn and total advertising P&L, which needs to be downgraded. | This one pushes Gojiberry from a “high ARR milestone” to a researchable GTM machine: cold mail, LinkedIn, Reddit, SEO, influencer, UGC and FB ads stacked at the same time, rather than a one-channel miracle. The most useful numbers are cold email infra of about $600/month, 295K emails/90 days, paid influencer of about $500/post, and $5K MRR for a single piece of content added 24 hours, indicating that its growth is more like a high-intensity sales system plus content distribution, rather than pure PLG. | |
Reelfarm was $48K/month, now $30K/month @_mattwelter / 2026-07-20 17:22 UTC Added 2026-07-21 (last 24-48 hours) | The author claims a monthly income of $48,000 1 year ago; now the product is much more complete but about $30K/month; the reply adds only one product, Reelfarm/slideshow automations; churn overall down, but new customers down; heavy users If you turn usage-based, it may change from $195/month to $1K +/month; costs and profits are not disclosed | Reelfarm, short video slideshow automation/TikTok account workflow tool Mainly rely on more marketing; the author replied that it is paid ads and affiliate marketing at the same time, but the investment is not enough; there are automation, schedule, slideshow editor in the product; at the same time, it is at risk of clone/copycat grabbing the results of the material | Medium High: Authors themselves disclose product name, revenue highs, current revenue, timeline and some channel/retention issues; but missing screenshots, cost, net profit, number of customers, churn numbers and channel split | This is a valuable anti-growth sample: the product gets stronger and does not automatically bring back historical peaks, Reelfarm drops back from $48k a month to $30k/month, and the author himself points to the reduction of new customers and insufficient marketing. It fits into the section “Product Maturity Does Not Equal Revenue Recovery” as a reminder not only to look at feature velocity, but also to look at distribution frequency, pricing migration, and competitor replication. | |
iOS app almost $6K/month but cash is tight @_frederickjames / 2026-07-20 10:42 UTC；回复 2026-07-20 11:19 UTC Added 2026-07-21 (last 24-48 hours) | Unnamed iOS app almost $6K/month; TikTok account paused; Author said running out of cash for ad spend, Apple payouts delayed about 45 days to 3 months; Yesterday about $150 profit; Previously the same case was $ 5.5K/month, $200/day ad spend, about $ 1.5K/month profit; Author has contacted RevenueCat for early payouts | Unpublished B2C iOS app; same case previously measured from Apple Search Ads to TikTok/TikSlop extension Currently almost all rely on ads; TikTok/TikSlop is the main expansion channel, Apple Search Ads is the early base; short-term testing of new marketing meta, cash turnover is affected by Apple payout delay | High: Continuous disclosure by the author and crossover of archived $3K- > $5.4K- > $5.5K/month records on 2026-07-13/18/20; cashflow/payout risk added to this post; missing product name, RevenueCat/Apple payout screenshot, refund and long-term retention | This pushes Frederick's case further from profit to cash flow: even if headline revenue is close to $6K/month, buying volume may still get stuck due to TikTok account suspension, ad prepayments, and Apple's late payments. Research is a good reminder for the B2C iOS app: roas is positive and not equal to cash security, and the platform's billing cycle may limit expansion. | |
Two-startup portfolio $10,474 in last 30 days @arthuryuzbashew / 2026-07-20 17:53 UTC Added 2026-07-21 (last 24-48 hours) | In the past 30 days, the two startups totaled $10,474; the first was MediaFast, and the second was unnamed B2C; the third iOS app was about $50/month; the reply said that the goal was to make MediaFast $20K; the cost and profit were not disclosed | MediaFast; unnamed B2C startup; unnamed iOS app Existing records show that MediaFast/Pix and others mainly rely on SEO/Geo organic growth; this post does not add specific delivery costs, but only reflects the continued scrolling of the portfolio and the continued bet on MediaFast | Medium to high: Disclosed by the author himself, and 2026-07-03/08/18 has a continuous record of MediaFast/portfolio revenue; but this post is short, lacking product split, cost, net profit, screenshots and channel breakdown | Arthur's combined revenue went from a narrative of $15K + in June and $5K + in early July to a structured phase of "two mainstays + one small iOS app". The added value is that the third app currently has only $50/month, indicating that not every new project in the portfolio contributes revenue immediately, and cash is still mainly relied on MediaFast and another B2C. | |
Roberto Blake creator education income breakdown @robertoblake / 2026-07-18 22:29 UTC Added 2026-07-20 (last 24-48 hours) | Coaching all-time revenue excludes public speaking/in-person workshops about $875K; YouTube/Adobe paid speaking events about $1M lifetime; TubeBuddy lifetime affiliate commissions about $440K, now about $13/month after corporate buyout; Kajabi lifetime affiliate commissions about $115K; YouTube Partner Revenue lifetime about $350K; peak sponsorships for 3-4 12-month brand partners, each $3K- $6K/month; own custom software tool for coaching clients in recent months, recently started external sales; cost and net profit undisclosed | Roberto Blake's creator education/coaching business; own SaaS/custom software tool; YouTube channel/coaching platform YouTube tech/tutorial content, 800 + videos, 100K subs in 3 years to start teaching; 1: 1 coaching, group calls, sponsors/UGC, affiliate, Kajabi platform, long-term brand partnerships; future plans to make education/software a larger revenue stream | Medium to high: The author himself disclosed that the number, revenue channel and timeline are clear and the interaction is high; but it is not a single SaaS financial report, partial creator business P&L, lack of cost, manpower input, taxes, refunds, software subscription revenue splitting and screenshots; it is still valuable for independent stations/creators commercialization due to "proprietary software + owned product transformation" | This is a rare breakdown of the creator revenue structure: the real headliner is not YouTube ads, but brand partnerships, coaching, affiliate, and later software ready for production. The most inspiring is the TubeBuddy case: $440K lifetime affiliate became about $13/month after the rule change, indicating that "rented channel revenue" has platform/contract risks; the author therefore turned to proprietary education products and software. | |
iOS app hit $5.4K/m in 50 days @_frederickjames / 2026-07-17 16:05 UTC Added 2026-07-18 (last 24-48 hours) | Unnamed iOS app reaches $ 5.4K/month for 50 days; Apple Ads starts with $100 free credits, default CPT is about $1.20, author starts from $30/day; TikTok/TikSlop expansion runs $70/day campaign, each creative spends at least $50 to judge, 5 campaigns, about 5 formats, about 30 creatives; judgment caliber changes from CPA < LTV to Initial Transaction > CPA; still reminding that it may take thousands of dollars to find profitable creative first | Unpublished B2C iOS app; previous records show the same app first using Apple Search Ads to $1K + MRR, then expanding TikTok ads Apple Search Ads Competitive Keywords, Manage bids by country tier, App Store pages/ratings, TikTok organic format replica, AI/human footage, comment management, matched credits | High: Continuous disclosure by the author, and crossing of existing RevenueCat/roas records such as Day 34/39/40/45/Near $5K/m; this post gives a more complete buying system and spending threshold; still missing product name, Apple payout, refund rate, retention, full P&L, and long-term LTV | Frederick's case continues to reinforce the conclusion that TikTok is the bigger but harder scaling system for Apple Ads to take the first intentional downloads and $1K/m docks. The added research value is judging the change in indicators: no longer just looking at MRR, but whether the initial transaction covers CPA, to avoid the annual payment/subscription MRR caliber misleading cash efficiency. | |
AI Jungle only-human company at $2,250 average monthly revenue @Tileo_LG / 2026-07-17 17:44 UTC；X Article `The only human in my company is me` Added 2026-07-18 (last 24-48 hours) | AI Jungle LLC 2026-04 was established in the United States about 100 days ago; current 1.25 customers onboarded/month, average monthly revenue $2,250; 0 ads, 0 pre-existing audience, 100% warm network; AI stack/subscriptions about €575/month; early stack barely more than cost; AI Leverage Assessment from $99, First Agent Install $9,500 fixed, ongoing partnerships start $5,000/month | AI Jungle, AI agent roster installation and tuning for 1-10 boutique consulting firms; AIJ-OS/Learn AI Thing Warm network, high-touch demo, two-week trial, founder approval workflow, agent roster + shared memory + human approval; adjusted from two failed executive demos to "agent comes to leader" interface | High: The author himself X Article, revenue, cost, timeline, pricing, channel and failure lessons are complete; but there are few interactions, the company is very early, lack of payment screenshots, customer number breakdown, gross profit, labor time cost and renewal proof | This is a small but high information density AI services/productized agency sample. The most important thing is that it does not only sell “AI automation will run on its own”, but gives the early reality that current revenue is still close to cost, relying on warm network and high-touch demo verification. Research can be used to differentiate between quotes, delivery costs, and true automation of AI agent services. | |
SalesRobot low-burn durability note @saguppa / 2026-07-16 13:30 UTC；回复补充 SEO / Reddit / cold email / organic brand building Added 2026-07-18 (last 24-48 hours) | SalesRobot team has 30 people, burn $15K/month; the author says it has been profitable since $20K MRR; compared to VC-backed competitors 50 people / $500K/month burn; experienced $20K MRR drop in four weeks; error experiment dev time cost about $500, not $50K | SalesRobot, LinkedIn/outbound automation SaaS; related InboxKit masterclass Low burn geography (Bengaluru), SEO compounding, Reddit, cold email, organic brand building, intern-driven SEO execution; author highlights 18 months SEO patience and low-cost organizational structure | High: The author himself disclosed that there are already $1M ARR / flatlining and other previous records that can be crossed; this post is not a complete financial report, but it gives the team burn, profit threshold, MRR retracement and channel advantages; it still lacks the current MRR, revenue background, salary structure, CAC, profit margin and churn | The added value of SalesRobot is not higher revenue, but rather why small teams can wait for SEO compound interest: $15K/month burn and $20K MRR starting profits make the cost of failed experiments controllable. It is a typical anti-VC operating sample of "low-cost area + low burn + patient channel". | |
DataFast $24K MRR after AI bot traffic feature @marclou / 2026-07-15 10:20 UTC；回复补充 [AI bot feature cost](https://x.com/marclou/status/2077344628513407116) 和 [affiliate context](https://x.com/marclou/status/2077344536326807672) Added 2026-07-16 (last 24-48 hours) | DataFast added $3,000/day and $4,000/day milestones; the author said that growth stagnated after hitting $20K MRR, and rose to $24K MRR after adding the AI bot traffic feature; the reply said that the feature is free for users, and the current cost is negligible; DataFast affiliate brings little compared to ShipFast | DataFast, analytics/revenue attribution product, adds crawlers/AI bot traffic tracking X build in public, product feature updates, AI bot/crawler traffic requirements; the author gave the crawlers page in the reply, and attributed the rebound in growth to new features rather than simple delivery | High: The author himself disclosed that the product name, MRR, single-day revenue and functional cost are clearly answered; and can be intersected with existing records such as 2026-06 DataFast $21K, Marc portfolio income $83,701; the latest Stripe screenshot, complete P&L, churn and channel split are still missing | The new value of this is not that DataFast has increased its MRR by another $4K, but it explains the growth leverage after plateau: instead of remaking a set of products, it is adding functions around the new problem of AI bot traffic. Cost recovery is also important, indicating that this function has no obvious pressure on gross profit in the short term. | |
CodeSpring over $500K ARR in under 12 months @sebastianvolkis / 2026-07-15 12:37 UTC；相关原帖 [adding $10K MRR per month target](https://x.com/sebastianvolkis/status/2077351868922040782)、[vibe coded CodeSpring to $250K ARR](https://x.com/sebastianvolkis/status/2077358366913908741)、[crossed $500K ARR](https://x.com/sebastianvolkis/status/2077088665449243120) Added 2026-07-16 (last 24-48 hours) | Author claims CodeSpring / his SaaS under 12 months done over $500,000 ARR; same day said early self vibe coded to $250K ARR before hiring first dev; target future new monthly additions of $10K MRR; onboarded 4 new users on the same day, 1 hour 1:1 walkthrough each; cost, profit, pricing and churn not disclosed | CodeSpring helps non-technical users organize product ideas, features, tasks and context into SaaS that can be handed over to AI coding agents Founder-led | High: The author himself continuously discloses the product name, ARR milestones, timeline, early development methods and onboarding actions; multiple user-posts can be crossed; but lacks backend screenshots, payment system, gross profit, advertising/labor costs and retention | CodeSpring is a new sample of "vibe coding tool commercialization": first use AI to make sellable core functions, then use intensive 1:1 onboarding to push users to the aha moment, and at the same time discover upsell and product needs from training. It cautions against equating AI-generated code with automated revenue when researching, as the education, support, documentation, and feedback loops at the back end are still heavy. | |
From $3,000 to $15,000/month via GitHub and Claude @zaynmcps / 2026-07-14 09:27 UTC；X Article 标题为 `From $3,000 to $15,000/month: How GitHub and Claude Revolutionized My Income` Added 2026-07-16 (last 24-48 hours) | The author said that it expanded from $3,000/month to $15,000/month; the first repo was $1,200 in the first year; the second Claude wrapper tool was $300 in the 4th month, $1,200 in the 6th month, and $4,500 in the 12th month; GitHub Sponsors $200-$400/month, premium versions $2K-$3K/month, consulting/customization/workshops $4K-$6K/month, affiliate/partnerships $2K+/month; costs and profits not disclosed | Undisclosed GitHub tool suite; one is Claude wrapper / code analysis automation tool GitHub open source, Twitter, developer communities, AI Discord, GitHub Sponsors, premium/self-hosted versions, consulting customization, workshops, affiliate partnerships; Claude for code, documentation, community responses, and content production | Medium: The author himself disclosed a long article, with a complete income structure and timeline, but did not provide project links, GitHub repo, screenshots, number of customers, costs or proof of payment; it is more like a methodology Article, and you need to find a specific repo later to upgrade the credibility. | This article can be used as a sample method of "monetizing a combination of open source tools", but it cannot be used as an audit-level income case. Its research value lies in its income structure: small sponsors verify that the community is willing to pay, premium/self-hosted as recurring, consulting and workshops to supplement cash flow, and affiliates as passive tail income. | |
My app is almost at $5K/m @_frederickjames / 2026-07-14 10:45 UTC；相关更新 [hit $3K/m and $4K last-month revenue](https://x.com/_frederickjames/status/2076628505987567654) / 2026-07-13 11:23 UTC Added 2026-07-15 (last 24-48 hours) | app almost at $5K/m; current CPA is about $15, ROAS >2x, TikTok ad spend $150/day, revenue $300-$400/day; the previous day’s update said last month revenue $4K, single day $575 revenue, $200 TikTok ad spend; the author reminds that MRR may not be as important as P&L/actual revenue, and annual payment will amplify the difference between cash income and MRR | An undisclosed B2C iOS manifestation app; previous records show that the same app started with Apple Search Ads and then expanded to TikTok ads Apple Search Ads as the base; TikTok ads / “tikslop” expansion, the author recommends spending at least $50 per format, and only expand when CPA < LTV; the material comes from scroll niche, find organically viral posts and redo them; RevenueCat/ROAS caliber continues to track | High: The author himself disclosed continuously, and can be intersected with multiple original text records of Day 39/40/43/45; the details of this round of `twitter tweet` have a TLS error for 207698, and the `twitter user-posts` timeline text is intersected with the reply successfully expanded by 207662; still missing product name, RevenueCat/Apple payout, refund rate, long-term retention and complete profit | Frederick's iOS app quickly pushed its MRR from $3K in 45 days to close to $5K/m. The new value is more specific in terms of purchase volume: $150/day spend, $300-$400/day revenue, CPA $15, >2x ROAS. At the same time, the author began to emphasize that P&L is more real than MRR. It is suitable for continuing to track whether the ROAS of B2C subscription apps will decline with material fatigue and audience expansion as TikTok expands. | |
Youform one-time payments / lifetime deal retrospective @mynameis_davis / 2026-07-14 15:29 UTC Added 2026-07-15 (last 24-48 hours) | Youform lifetime deal / one-time payments brought in about $30K in the early months; the author said the lifetime deal was later canceled after reaching $5K MRR; OneUp's existing revenue provides runway and trust; cost/profit was not disclosed, but the author said there is no obvious additional cost or support burden for pro users compared to the free plan | Youform, forms product; OneUp as author has existing product and audience/cash flow foundation X following, OneUp email list, successful record, free plan, lifetime deal and monthly plan run at the same time; use one-time income to get verification and cash in the early stage, and switch to healthier recurring revenue in the later stage | High: The author himself disclosed that the product name, revenue scale, MRR threshold and channel premise are clear; Rob Walling participated in the reply to increase the credibility of the context; but there are no screenshots, number of customers, refund rate, LTV, cost or current MRR | This is not a “lifetime deal is the be all and end all” theory, but it shows that it relies on pre-existing assets: existing audience, mailing list, OneUp’s revenue and founder’s credibility. The value of the research is that it gives a clear boundary: one-time revenue can help early verification and cash flow, but after $5K MRR, recurring revenue is healthier, and replicators can easily fail without trust and runway. | |
Bustem $400K MRR in 18 months hard lessons @oliverbrocato / 2026-07-14 19:58 UTC；作者回复链接 [bustem.com](http://bustem.com) Added 2026-07-15 (last 24-48 hours) | The author claims that he went from $0 to $400K MRR in 18 months; used Google Sheet, Slack channel and South African VA to achieve $80K MRR; bought out the cofounder and spent six figures; the CTO salary was once higher than revenue; burned $100K+ in Meta ads, agencies, courses and editors; costs, net profit and team size are not fully disclosed | Bustem, unauthorized reseller/marketplace protection business for brands/e-commerce E-commerce brand pain points, monitoring and processing of unauthorized resellers such as Amazon/Walmart/eBay/Temu/Shein/Alibaba; early service-oriented/operation-intensive, and subsequent customer acquisition through content and founder-led narratives | Medium to high: The author discloses it himself and gives a product link in the reply; the numbers and operational lessons are specific, but lacks revenue backend, number of customers, P&L, gross profit, churn rate and service delivery cost; the main post is more like a milestone review than a complete financial report | Bustem is an atypical SaaS/service hybrid sample: high MRR does not come from pure software self-service subscriptions, but from the pain points of operation-intensive reseller enforcement. The most valuable thing is the negative costs: six-figure buyout, CTO salary higher than income, $100K+ growth trial and error, and performance pricing failure, all show that there are heavy organizational and execution costs behind $400K MRR. | |
Vibe-coded app hit $10K/mo with Instagram UGC @VadimStrizheus / 2026-07-13 16:36 UTC；引用旧帖称 [crossed $10K/mo in 90 days](https://x.com/VadimStrizheus/status/2073581409306804293) Added 2026-07-15 (last 24-48 hours) | The author claims that the vibe-coded app grew 300%+ in 60 days and hit $10,000/mo; an old post stated that $10K/mo was crossed in 90 days after launch; the author claims that not a single dollar of advertising was spent; the product name, subscription price, platform commission, refunds, profits or retention were not disclosed | Undisclosed vibe-coded consumer app Instagram organic UGC: Create 1-3 new UGC accounts, research/copy competing viral UGC formats, post 2-5 posts per account per day, use ManyChat DM automation to accept comments; emphasize marketing rather than function stacking | Medium to high: The author himself disclosed that the timeline, revenue figures and channels are clear, and no advertising cost is clear; but there is no product name, screenshots, revenue backend, cost details or long-term retention, and the tone has a strong methodology/calling attribute, which requires subsequent verification. | This article adds a strong case for "vibe-coded consumer app + organic UGC": instead of relying on paid advertising, the Instagram account matrix, dismantling of competitive product materials and automatic DM are made into repeated actions. The value of the research is that it contrasts with Frederick's paid TikTok route: it is also a mobile/consumer app, and distribution can be paid ROAS or organic UGC factories. | |
| AI Peekaboo crossed $40K MRR; 2026-07-09 the same account said almost $40K MRR after 1.5 years; 2026-07-10 said Unicorne fastest-growing list showed 676% growth; costs, profits and team divisions were not disclosed | AI Peekaboo, AI Search / GEO Visibility SaaS, tracks brand mentions, citations, competitors and prompts in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Build in public, continue to publish product learning, customer interviews and small iterations; the same account disclosed earlier that X income posts have brought enterprise clients, and affiliate + LinkedIn outreach have also driven growth | High: The author himself disclosed continuously, and can intersect with multiple historical records of 20K, 26.7K, 30K, and almost 40K MRR; however, this article is a short milestone post and lacks background screenshots, costs, net profits, refunds, and customer concentration | AI Peekaboo's rapid growth from 20K MRR at the end of June to 40K MRR in mid-July shows that AI Search/GEO tools are still reaping the dividends of early demand. The value of the research lies in the fact that the source of growth is not a single investment, but the superposition of founder-led build-in-public, customer communication, corporate customers and alliances/outreach; the risk is that high MRR has not yet corresponded to auditable profits. | ||
GojiberryAI crossed $300K MRR @romanbuildsaas / 2026-07-13 12:47 UTC；同日 @pierreeliottlal 补充 [$4M ARR / $0->$20K MRR playbook](https://x.com/pierreeliottlal/status/2076177216820416808) 和 [$30 UGC result](https://x.com/pierreeliottlal/status/2076699313338568852) Added 2026-07-14 (last 24-48 hours) | GojiberryAI crossed $300K MRR, with a monthly increase of about 30%, and the author expects $6M ARR by the end of the year; the team said that under one year on track to $4M ARR; $0->$20K MRR in the early days is the most difficult; a $30 UGC brings 175K views, 1,000+ site visitors, and is significantly higher than daily signup; in the customer case, GojiberryAI $99/month, compared to the six-figure/year ACV of a single customer Very low; costs/profits not fully disclosed | GojiberryAI, LinkedIn/email outbound AI agent / sales automation product Founder-led content, LinkedIn buying-signal outbound, Claude connector, 300+ sales skills, customer interviews, warm outbound, low-cost UGC, free 7-day trial; the author repeatedly emphasizes cold outbound first, then ads/UGC | High: The author and team members continuously disclose MRR, ARR goals, UGC costs and channels, and the 2026-07-10 `$3.5M ARR / Meta ads $2K/day` record can be crossed; but the main post carries a strong product CTA, and lacks revenue backend, gross profit, team cost, total advertising expenditure and churn | This is a strong signal for the rapid commercialization of B2B AI outbound tools: GojiberryAI packages “AI agent + sales skill library + buying signals” into a product that can directly replace part of SDR work. It is worth noting that it uses content, cold start outbound, UGC and advertising at the same time, rather than relying on only one channel; however, the cost of paid customer acquisition and retention in the high-growth stage have not yet been disclosed. | |
| Postiz reached $154K MRR; the author lists the growth stages: $0->$3K MRR, $3K->$12K MRR, $12K->$21K MRR, $21K->$154K MRR; 2026-07-10 Another post stated that $2K MRR was added in a single day; 2026-07-09 has exceeded $150K MRR, ARR $1,793,821.56, active trials 576, churn of the month 14%; in the previous record, 2026-06 revenue $136,244, Stripe MRR $143K, Google Ads $94 in a single day, 64.5 trials, CPT $1.47 | Postiz, open source social media scheduler/social media automation SaaS Open source distribution, X build in public, positioning, tactical marketing content, Google Ads, video/tutorial content; author says marketing and positioning are keys to growth | High: The author himself has continuously disclosed that monthly revenue, MRR, trial, churn and advertising trial costs can be intersected in history; this article is a new milestone and marketing playbook traffic, lacking the latest and complete P&L, net profit and channel split | Postiz’s key finding is that once an open source tool enters the high MRR stage, the growth narrative shifts from “product works” to “positioning and distribution machine.” This makes up for the continuous steps from 143K to 154K MRR, while retaining a risk point: 14% monthly churn is on the high side, new MRR is strong, but retention quality still needs to be tracked. | ||
The one format that got me 1k MRR in < 1 week @jack_mitchell01 / 2026-07-12 19:40 UTC Added 2026-07-14 (last 24-48 hours) | The unnamed app went from about 10 downloads/day to $1K MRR in less than 1 week; the author said that the current single account has about 100 downloads/day, and is preparing to expand a second account; the subscription price, advertising costs, platform commissions, costs and profits were not disclosed | Undisclosed mobile app Organic short video / reaction demo: write 21 hooks every week, record 21 12-second demos, use Claude to generate and rewrite hooks/voiceover, CapCut editing, post 3 pieces a day, and iterate based on feedback from watch-through, comments, and downloads | Medium to high: The author himself | This article is suitable to be classified as a sample of "short video content system drives mobile app early MRR".
