10 months in, still at $123 mrr.I knew Journey Would Be Gruelling, but it gets worse with each failed app. I will not promote
redditby DjangoDrive1 month ago3 points

launched a solo iOS app studio 10 months ago. Since then I’ve shipped 8 apps and made $1,480 total, which works out to roughly $123/month on average. Revenue has been 100% organic discovery so far. I spent $580 on ads and got basically nothing meaningful from it. The most frustrating part: the “quick” apps I built in 3–7 days (almost throwaway experiments) generated about 80% of the revenue. The app I poured my heart into the one I personally use every day and genuinely believe in has made $0. I expected this to be slow and painful, but the emotional part is hitting harder than I thought. Each launch that doesn’t move the needle somehow hurts more, not less. Still… I’m not quitting. But I need advice Is this normal? I've heard of founders going two three years without making any money I always assumed they ment profits not 0 revenue.
