I grew @focustree_app from 2K to 105K users in 15 days . THIS is exact viral TikTok strategy I used 👇

160M views on TT for @focustree_app . can’t wait to reach 1B+.

RT @focustree_app: 📣 BIG NEWS FROM FOCUS TREE! 📣. Focus Tree, the #1 app helping students stay focused, now boasts over 1M+ downloads and 1….

what's up with influencer outreach tools? . feels like I get pitched this idea everyday. wish people actually tried to build consumer apps FIRST before creating SAAS for us so they would know WTF it's actually needed in the space.

virality ✅ - conversion ❌ = entertainment.virality ❌ - conversion ✅ = too salesy.virality ✅ - conversion ✅ = winning format . solve the natural tension between virality and conversion to get a winning format for your consumer app. then scale to the moon 🚀.

woke up to another 500K views on TikTok from my top UGC creator & huge bump in downloads. when you find the right formula between virality & conversion = magical 🪄

I just crossed 130M views on TikTok for my consumer app @focustree_app . Here are 5 lessons I learned the hard way — so you don’t have to

I keep spotting untapped niches on TikTok every week. massive audience, engaged communities but NO apps seem to be advertised. crazy. thinking about giving them away here since I am 100% locked in on @focustree_app.

I love my TikTok viral playbook but nothing beats word of mouth for long-term growth. NGL was such a masterclass in virality/k-factor. Every app founder should know their flow by heart. Whoever solves the tension between high virality and good retention will print $$$

I understand why they are trying to keep it secret. TikTok slideshow playbook will never be the same. AI is getting way too powerful

had a call with top TikTok creators in my niche. they receive between 8 and 15 emails per day for influencers/UGC deals . they gave me a list of ~145 study apps in my niche that reached out in march. no wonder why prices skyrocketing. now higher than ads. race to the bottom?.

it's a real craft to get both viral + good convert because there is a natural tension between the two.

I keep seeing some TikTok agency owners flexing their "viral" videos to lure naive clients (=easy prey). Truth is if viewers are not commenting “what’s the app?” it means the TikTok video is NOT converting at all (<0.01%). Views ≠ signups. Don’t fall for vanity metrics.

first step is always denial 💀

1. utility- one killer feature that solves 1 real problem.2. commodity- make it a daily habit.3. defensibility- build network effect (love social but could be others).

App founders are living a lie. AI tools + viral TikTok will cook 99% of consumer apps in the next 3 years. Here's the UCD model I use to protect my equity.

Are we going to pretend 10K$ app design agencies are still safe in the AI age?. just used ChatGPT-4o to design an entire app UI with characters, then the app Store screenshots, visuals - all in 10 minutes. No Figma. No designer. Just prompts. any designers here?

what's up with influencers asking 3K$ for a video that get barely 50K views on TikTok? are they all smoking or what?.

rates of influencers have been skyrocketing on TikTok recently. soon we’ll reach a point where app founders accept negative or breakeven deals just to climb ASO ladder. just like in ECOM . may AI content save us all.

in Portugal 🇵🇹. anyone building apps in Lisbon? any cool events for founders?. would love meetup & share how I grew @focustree_app.
