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

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.
