[Indie Dev Diary #4] June 2024 - Hired a Freelancer

💡 Check out my iOS home inventory app Itemlist

June wasn’t the most eventful month for my app business, but it was a month of important groundwork. Most of my time was dedicated to preparing for the upcoming localization app update. However, there was one significant highlight 🤩

I Hired a Part-time Freelancer#

Amidst all the exciting developments like Setapp Mobile, localization, and the new iOS 18 features, I found myself struggling to dedicate time to my next app, Herba. To accelerate progress, I decided to bring on a part-time freelancer, Frantisek Varadzin. He’s currently working on an exciting Itemlist update, but I have to keep the details under wraps for now 🤐

May to June: A Look at the Revenue#

In June, revenue rose by only 1% compared to May, from $425 to$429.

MMR Comparison#

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) grew by 5.9%, from $186 in May to$197 in June.

Number of Active Subscribers#

The number of active subscribers grew by 8.8%, from 91 in May to 99 in June.

One More Thing#

It’s incredibly beneficial to apply for WWDC labs. Just make sure to come prepared. In my case, I prepared by writing down details about my app and my marketing plans, which we then discussed together during the consultation. This preparation made the session much more productive and insightful.

I've just had a very insightful WWDC Lab consultation on the topic of App Store business and marketing ✨ If you haven't already, you should try to get a Lab appointment. There are still a lot of topics available. #WWDC24 #iosdev
