What I learned about marketing after helping scale 30+ apps (honest takeaways, no fluff)

I run a small growth agency focused on B2C mobile apps. We have been doing this for a few years now and I wanted to share some things I have learned the hard way that I wish someone had told me earlier.

None of this is groundbreaking but it took me way too long to figure out.

1. Building the app is the easy part now

With tools like Claude Code and Cursor, founders are shipping apps in days. I have seen a 23-year-old build an app in 14 days and hit $20K MRR in his first month. The barrier to building is basically gone.

But almost every founder I talk to spends 90% of their energy on building and 10% on distribution. That ratio should be flipped after launch.

2. Volume matters more than quality (unfortunately)

This was hard for me to accept. I used to think every piece of content had to be polished. But after tracking thousands of posts across multiple campaigns, the apps posting 300 videos a month consistently outperform the ones posting 15 carefully crafted ones.

Most of those videos will flop. That is fine. You are buying lottery tickets until the algorithm finds a winner for you.

  1. Instagram Reels surprised us

Everyone told us TikTok first. We tracked 193M views across about 4,900 posts and Instagram averaged 3.2x more views per post than TikTok. I am not saying ignore TikTok but Instagram is not the afterthought most people treat it as.

This might vary by niche though so take it with a grain of salt.

  1. The DM funnel changed everything

"Comment X and I will DM you the link" sounds gimmicky but it is genuinely the best organic distribution method we have found. Every comment boosts the algorithm, the DM opens a direct channel, and the comment section creates social proof.

We have seen single videos drive 10K+ downloads using this.

  1. Two nearly identical apps, completely different results

This one stuck with me. Two AI therapy apps, almost the same product. One used faceless templated accounts with high volume (2,678 posts). The other used 14 individual creator ambassadors with higher production quality (654 posts).

The faceless approach got 21M views and about 20K downloads. The ambassador approach got 1.1M views and about 1K downloads. Same product. 19x difference in views.

Distribution strategy was the only variable.

Anyway, happy to answer questions if anyone is working on app marketing right now. I know how overwhelming it can be when you are starting out.

My Japanese learning app hit over 10,000 users and made $1,000 in its first couple of weeks after launch. Here's what I learned — and what I want to ask you guys.

My app is a Japanese learning app that I spent about a couple of years creating. I make almost everything free (which is why revenue per customer is really low), but I sell skins and cosmetics instead of gatekeeping the learning content. Here's what I've learned (note that this is my first app and I'm still learning):

  1. Reddit is sad for marketing. If you post your own app, people see a cash-grabber and dismiss it as AI slop in half a second, and the downvotes/nitpicking will wreck your head as a solo dev for no real upside.
  2. Small content creators are your friends. I paid less than $100 for a couple of short videos, and it worked. The spike on the graph is when he posted his shorts, which got over 100,000 views each on almost every platform. (That's all I've paid for marketing so far.)
  3. First impressions are very important. You need an easy-to-understand onboarding to make a good one. (My app is called Shima Bird – Japanese Learning; you can check out the onboarding I polished really, really carefully.)
  4. Finding your niche is still king. Yes, "learning Japanese" isn't a small niche, but my primary target is a Japanese learning app built for people in my country — something no other app really nails. (My app is also available in English, but I have no idea how to market that version. Someone please help me!)

What I'm still unsure about — please educate me:

  1. I seriously have no idea whether I should double down on marketing in my own country or go after foreign markets. What would you do? So far I've only spent on one ad, so I think there's still a lot of room to grow?
  2. How can I increase revenue per customer while keeping the core learning free and with minimal to no ads?
  3. Is paying for platform ads (Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc.) worth it? Personally I don't think so, because my revenue per user is really low. From my calculations, getting a user to download my app is far more expensive if I use those platforms.
  4. How do you split your time? I have a full-time job on top of all this — so between bug fixes, adding content, making social media posts, reaching out to influencers, and trying to keep a personal life and exercise, there are never enough hours. Right now I just do whatever feels most urgent that day, which isn't really a system. For those of you building on the side of a day job: how do you actually structure your week?

If you have any suggestions, please share — I still have a lot to learn!
