Bootstrapping an AI App to $2M ARR

Before you dive headfirst into development, let's explore some common pitfalls that can derail even the most promising app ideas. In this video, we'll discuss the top mistakes first-time app owners make, including: Trying to perfect your MVP: Don't aim for perfection initially, you can iterate and improve later based on user feedback. Too many features: Keep it simple, overloading your app with features can confuse users. Focus too much on downloads: Prioritize user engagement and retention over raw download numbers. Too Big Too Soon: Start small and scale gradually. Trying to build a massive app from the outset can be overwhelming and resource-intensive. Marketing <> Product: Your marketing efforts should accurately reflect your app's value proposition.
