Ernesto started by using what he had—his network. He got family and friends to download the app, leave reviews, and give honest feedback. Simple, but it worked. It gave him the trust he needed to move forward.
Forget big ads. Influencers were the key. Ernesto didn’t go for the biggest names. He found influencers with engaged followers. He reached out to 100-250 a day, offering $1 per 1,000 views. Straightforward deal. No time wasted.
He didn’t wait for the perfect app. He launched it, got feedback, and improved. Speed was the goal. If you wait for everything to be perfect, you’ll never get anywhere.
Ernesto tracked everything—user growth, revenue, influencer performance. If something didn’t work, he adjusted fast. If the feedback was bad, he fixed it and moved on. Constant iteration. Always scaling.
The Result: 10,000 Users and $14k
In 20 days, Ernesto hit 10,000 users and made $14k. How? Execution. He moved fast, used influencers, and focused on getting results. Simple as that.
