👀 ALSO MAKING MONEY 🤳 $664K from a selfie score: An AI app rates your face from a selfie and tells you how to improve it. Over the last 12 months: $664K revenue, $183K profit, 1.4M+ downloads, 5,000+ paying users. Launched in 2025, bootstrapped, now listed for sale on Acquire (seller figures, shared by Acquire’s CEO). The shape to copy: one score, then a paid “how to improve” report. 📵 $9,031 in October, $0 on ads: Ivan Terekhin runs a solo portfolio of small apps, led by a sober tracker. His best month yet: $9,031, with $2,755 MRR (up 21.7% in a month) and 1,083 active subscriptions (his post). He credits SEO and app store search, and says paid ads returned about 50 cents per dollar. Before you buy a single ad, rewrite one app’s store title, keywords and screenshots. | | |
