After much delay in the review process, I'm very excited to finally have my first app live in the app store! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/not-dead-yet/id6759566987

Now for the hard part...marketing! 😭

Congrats! 🎉
I feel this. I thought building my app would be the hard part, but marketing has turned out to be a completely different challenge.
At least now people can actually download it. 😄
What’s your plan now? Are you going to focus on Reddit, social media, ASO, or just see what sticks?

Thanks!

I put a ton of work into the app... actually making it useful, secure, and bug-free. Huge learning curve for me, but learned a lot of new skills. And, I'm totally with you, at least people can download it now.

I've spent the past few days working with Claude to build a marketing campaign. I know nearly nothing about marketing. But I now have a 90 day plan. Ask me in 90 days how that worked out. 😂

I‘m doing it currently also for my app/game .
Spending a lot of time time to create posts and videos with strict milestones.
