Despite all the (warranted) criticism of the AppStore I still find it pretty easy to get a consumer app into people's hands and getting them paying for it as a solo dev. The web is a lot harder in that respect but does make up for it in the B2B SaaS area.

The app made $300 last month and $500 this month. It indeed hasn't been very long, and I agree that $500/mo is a bit of a generous take. However I do plan on adding extra paid features which I think will push that even further.
I don't even know what 5/3/1 is but I was planning on joining a gym this month, so your getting my signup. For the SEO could you go after Gym Noobs like me who know nothing about different programs, teach them what 5/3/1 is and then lead them to your app? Or is that too crowded and difficult?

man, I left Seattle when my shitty 2br in the U got up to like $1200/mo after climbing $100/mo like clockwork every year. You are a couple orders of magnitude richer than I am if you can afford that. Which is not surprising given that I'm a lazy freelance artist who mostly draws furry porn and your last few comments indicate you're a Senior Software Engineer at a FAANG. Now my husband and I are splitting $950 for a 3…
>Which is not surprising given that I'm a lazy freelance artist who mostly draws furry porn I've heard that that's very lucrative. So much so that I've read accounts by more than one who finds creating such art (and the customers) disgusting, but can't stop because of the huge market demand.

Didn’t really want to go down this route but since you guys wanted to I would also point out the OP likely hasn’t been making $500/mo for a full year yet so to make that kind of projection is premature. I think at best he will make that for a few months then it will taper off within the year as the app gets less popular. You can’t just say your app makes $500/mo without giving the time period for how long it has been…

$500/mth is $6,000/yr At a 4% safe withdrawal rate what you've built is the equivilent of saving $150,000. You should be EXTREMELY proud of yourself, and never underestimate the power and value of the asset you've built

That’s a good idea. Basically having a blog saying what 5/3/1 is. It’s a narrow line to walk on as I didn’t write the book and want to respect the author, but I think that I could probably do something like that.
