Test Pricing

Price testing is useful but not as important as one may expect. First test weekly prices. Then monthly. Then annual. Analyze cohorts over time:

  • For weekly, test $1.99, $2.99, $3.99, $4.99, $7.99, $9.99. Test 3 and 7 day trials. When you find a winner, go onto monthly.
  • For month...

Influencers based campaigns

Influencers based campaigns

Hiring influencers (via TikTok mainly is essential). Use them to create content for ads, not for an ROI positive influencer campaign, that’s too hard to achieve on a small scale.

  • Pay out influencers based on performance if you can. Again, this isn’t to make sure you’re...

    Ads Tech Setup

    • Use native ad SDKs when you can. No need to use Appsflyer for Facebook ads.
    • With FB, stick to Automated App Ads (AAA). They let you upload 50 images or videos and 5 sets of text. They handle the rest (including audience).
    • Optimize for trial starts if you have enough events

    User Creatives from Users

    • Target users with ad creatives, not with ad settings. Its always cheaper to cast a wider net with open targeting – videos & text will attract users who resonate with the problem your solving and the solution you are advertising.

    Paywalls Views Matter

    Seeing paywalls is key for revenue on consumer apps. 

    • Most important metric is App Install → Paywall. Revenue moves (almost linearly) with this metric.
    • Second most important metric. Paywall views per free user. Around the 7th paywall view on av...

    Onboarding Tips

    You must balance completion rates and paywall conversion rates. Higher completion rate = more paywall views. Longer onboarding = higher paywall conversion rates (due to sunk cost bias).

    • Personal info like name, age, email etc. have the lowest completion rates. Offload as much as possib...

    Winback campaign with discounts

    Winback campaign with discounts

    Hide a cheaper priced plan in your subscription group. For ex, offer users $89.99/yr in app, but add a $59.99/yr product called Secret Discount.

    When users go to cancel, they'll see the discount. I've seen setups increase revenue by 10%.

    If the user cancels their trial, add a floating...

    Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

    Shankul Varada

    Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

    Ashley Anthony

    This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

    Sean Green

    Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

    Ghazala Begum

    Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

    Giovanna Scalzone

    Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

    Jamyson Haug

    Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

    Laetitia Berton

    I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
