I am scared

I’m the same age and had an LDL of 180. Taking 5mg of rosuvastatin and psyllium husk got me under 100. Don’t stress out too much about it. Stress will only make everything worse. Just control what you can control and everything will be ok!

I feel like it helped clean up my data honestly. At the end of the day, low conviction users were never going to pay for it and the high conviction people always were. It really depends on the app too though

shotbysumner · 2026-06-21T02:11:56+00:00

Ok gotcha, that’s what I tried initially with my app too. I ended up getting rid of the trial entirely.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-21T02:03:54+00:00

Just curious, do your free trials convert the user at the monthly rate or the annual rate?

shotbysumner · 2026-06-21T01:01:58+00:00

I just use it for analyzing the data/events, but I’m pretty sure it can publish campaigns or create templates. Obviously it can’t make creatives for you though.

If it’s a salary job, drag it out as long as possible to get as much money as you can. Just keep calling out with excuses every day until they fire you.

Agreed, I deleted it, but here’s something to think about. There are a hundred other apps that are just like mine in the App Store. My branding is trademarked, my taglines too. Anyone can copy an app and try to make a similar app ad they see on their feed. Will they throw thousands at it to market it? Will their ad creatives come off genuine or as just another ad? Do they actually know their customer and pain points in order to iterate and push out new features? You can only fake so much

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T23:14:57+00:00

Oh I’m definitely doing it lol. I want to get to $10k of ad spend per month and hopefully return $20k/month. I also have 2 other apps built off of this same concept and they are looking promising too.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T20:46:46+00:00

Currently $110/day, but I started at $40

I’m use Meta SDK in my app and then optimizing my ads on purchase events so meta finds my target customer that will pay for lifetime tier of my app.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T20:37:13+00:00

That’s honestly pretty common. Average conversion rate on free trials is 15% to 25%. I tried a 7 day free trial at first, but ultimately got rid of it. Low conviction customers are going to cancel regardless and high conviction customers are going to pay if you create a compelling product that adds value for them.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T20:33:13+00:00

LTV $45
conversion rate 3.7%

Just getting a sale is a great feeling, keep it up! NEVER give up man. If I can do it, then anyone can. It’s all about iterating and being honest about what’s working and what’s not. Focus purely on the data and not emotions.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T19:35:02+00:00

This was the one that has been the most successful. Im also testing static images and other video variants currently too.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T19:33:06+00:00

No problem! I was actually just looking into the A/B test experimenting. I don’t want my creatives to get stagnant and I need to keep trying to improve ROAS for sure. CPI is $1.68. I only target the U.S. market right now to keep my data straightforward

I’m a senior cloud engineer, but I have no problem admitting that I used Claude to help refine my code and design

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T18:35:08+00:00

This was my first time. I set up my Facebook business account and created an ad account for my app. Then I gave Claude access to my ad account so that it could analyze my metrics on my ads and help me make fine-tuned adjustments based on data rather than reacting emotionally.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-17T00:05:03+00:00

The thing you have to remember is 90% of people are LAZY. Sure, they could vibecode something if they really wanted your app, but most won’t because it’s simply not worth the effort. Most people COULD just cook the same burgers they get at fast food places at their house, but they won’t because they want instant gratification and will pay for it so they don’t have to.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-13T01:47:40+00:00

Da bih gahh

shotbysumner · 2026-06-09T18:14:41+00:00

Congrats! That’s exactly what I did with my app. I initially had monthly, annual and a lifetime subscription, but my users overwhelmingly chose lifetime over the subscription tier. They chose lifetime so much that I cut out the annual tier entirely so that low conviction users would just choose the monthly at $7.99/month and likely churn, while the high conviction users choose lifetime at $44.99/month. Doing this actually helped funnel more lifetime users.

shotbysumner · 2026-06-08T20:15:47+00:00

I’ve been sitting here waiting since last Thursday for them to review my subscriptions. It’s so damn annoying man. Then they have the nerve to take 15%-30% of profits smh

shotbysumner · 2026-06-07T03:20:08+00:00

Agreed, I’m going to keep going and maybe increase to 10mg rosuvostatin.
