Hello Everyone,

Imagine that one project you have been putting off for years. It might not be the greatest idea you ever had but its just bugging you inside that you still haven't even tried it.

I had been putting this off for many months and there was just one thing to do...

Put money where my mouth is.

So I bet my best friend that I build and publish a short video every day or I pay him a good amount of money.

And the result is that from October 1st I will be building an iPhone App on a daily basis.

I will be documenting my journey daily and will launch the app on October 31st.

I have no idea where to start so to have some support I joined Indie App Accelerator Skool Community for iPhone App Developers and Letz Scale Skool Community for Daily Content Creators.

On Day 1 (October 1st) I figured out the idea - De-Stress App - An App to Monitor and Reduce Stress.

Stress is one of the top pains for me and I think that it would be great to somehow monitor how stressed I am , what I am stressed about and perhaps get some relevant exercises to calm down.

I created a plan with steps I need to go through. And made a quick 60 second video update for Day 1 -> https://youtube.com/shorts/iefxZIVXKsw?si=kGacPOgwGxKQE9cV

Day 2 will be aimed at some social media strategy, publishing and researching. And this is where you come in...

It would mean the world to me if you could let me know in the comments - What helps you to de-stress?

With Love,

When it comes to creating a TikTok clone, misconceptions can lead you astray. Appkodes is here to help you navigate these myths so you can build a successful app with confidence. Here are five myths to debunk:

1. It’s Just a Simple Copycat Project

Myth: You can simply replicate TikTok and expect success.

Truth: While the concept may be similar, success lies in innovation. Focus on unique features, user engagement, and community-building to differentiate your app.

2. You Don’t Need Market Research

Myth: Market research is unnecessary if you’re following a proven model.

Truth: Understanding your target audience and competitors is crucial. Research helps you identify gaps in the market and tailor your app to meet user needs.

3. More Features Equals Better App

Myth: Loading your app with features will attract users.

Truth: Quality over quantity matters. A streamlined, user-friendly experience is more appealing than a cluttered interface. Focus on key features that enhance user engagement.

4. Launch Day is the Most Important

Myth: If you have a great app, the launch day will make or break it.

Truth: Post-launch strategies are vital. Ongoing user feedback, updates, and marketing efforts will sustain interest and foster growth long after the initial launch.

5. You Can’t Compete with TikTok

Myth: TikTok’s dominance means there’s no room for new players.

Truth: The market is always evolving. Niche targeting, unique content formats, and community engagement can carve out your own space, even in a competitive landscape.

By dispelling these myths, you can approach your TikTok clone project with a clear mindset, strategic vision, and a focus on innovation. Get ready to make your mark!

I increased DA from 0 to 20 for aivideo.to in over just 2 months.

In the process, I've learned so much about SEO. You need to make mundane manual efforts and learn yourself instead of just following any course. SEO takes time but it starts compounding after 2 months.

EDIT: Some of you have asked how, so here are some things I did.

  1. List on AI directories
  1. Add JSON/ld schema to all pages

  2. Cross-post on blogging platforms and social sites.

  3. Optimise for low Difficulty keywords (recommend using Ahrefs $29/mo plan.)

  4. For blog SEO I wrote this tweet

  5. For page indexing I built a free tool index-now.org to index across major search engines (except Google: search console)

I'll be sharing more tips on SEO and Keyword research so stay tuned. I share more on Twitter so you can follow there for every update!
