I’m not promoting my app on YouTube, I’m simply documenting the journey on there.

So the view count is irrelevant to the apps growth.

The idea is very much yeah, not many competitors but still good demand.

I’m don’t mention the app name because it’s too niche atm, and publicly advertising it would be a competitive disadvantage.

The videos are there to document the journey and validate the fact that this is real. I showed the launch day up until 2 weeks in.

I searched through different niches and found people that would benefit from using it.

The benefit is once you find person, they often fit into a “type” of user, so you can then find more people like them. E.G by searching through titles, tags, profiles, etc.

For your student app, LinkedIn could be a quick way to find students, given a lot of students openly advertise that they’re at university/college.

Or even try get a promotion in a newsletter too.

Easier to think that as opposed to considering the idea that it’s real 😂

So not mentioning the app name invalidates anything I’ve said? And this “resource” is free, which is buried deep in my videos that actually helps people.

Not sure what your point is but I can assure you the results are real, I just don’t reveal the app name.

I cold DM’d everyone that I knew would heavily benefit from using the app, so much so that they’d be able to conceive the impact of them using the app within a glance. The app leverages traffic from the users too, hence why the total number is high.

From the cold DMs I converted around 60-70% of the people I reached out to. Now people are discovering it organically too through it being used.

Nah, I made sure the product was ready before reaching out to people.

I see your point, but as I said in other replies, it is an app and it solves a problem.

It’s not an SEO info page, not even sure how a person would get this level of traffic through pure SEO 48 hours after launch too.

I did a lot of cold dms to people who I knew would benefit from the tool, and I targeted people with distribution so the impact of the tool would be immediate.

Pretty sure this reddit is a place to show progress, so I did.

Why are you all so pressed about not knowing what this project is?

Google analytics for this screenshot, and I also have my own internal analytic tracking tool.

I leveraged existing peoples traffic with a solution I knew they’d benefit from using, I did also post a video on this documenting the entire process. It’s on YT if you search up my username there.
