How to Get Rich With Apps
copy this and thank me later
This is truly an insane opportunity right now that few people are capitalizing on, and I’m going to break it down for you to steal
back in 2016-2020 a guy named Luca Netz (good friend of mine) got rich by being the guy behind the scenes building brands for famous celebrities
he’d identify large creators with a following that weren’t monetizing properly, and build a brand for them and split the company
whether it was a jewelry brand, gadgets, etc, these brands could start off drop shipping to negate the risk and then turn into a real brand once you have the momentum
rinse and repeat until he had an empire of cash flowing ecom brands
now you can do the same thing with apps… they’re so damn easy to make now that you can replicate this process
Identify viral apps in different niches
“vibe code” the app and get it ready and on app store
reach out to creators in that niche
offer equity / rev share for them to promote it
build out creator team + hire ops person to run the show
rinse and repeat
easier said than done, but building a mobile app studio like this could scale…. fast
the problem is most people don’t fully know the format to crack these apps, building them is the easy part
but nailing onboarding, email flows, creator marketing at scale, that’s where the sauce is that separates you
that’s how I was able to scale Payd from only 50-70 downloads per day to 1,000 in a day was cracking creator marketing + low budget tik tok ads
the person that nails this is going to walk away with a bag, these viral apps can take off quickly and owning a portfolio of them would be an attractive exit later on
I’ve documented everything I’ve done to grow Payd so far, if you’re interested in learning how I did it + how you can do it too
Best,
Alex
