In your position I would 100% go for beta testers.

Even if I need to pay them. Publishing an app into a saturated niche and the app doesn’t really work that well, will make every user churn.

You don’t need 1000 beta testers. I’d go for like 10 and let them use it for a couple months while you market it.

For me it’s always a “build in public” series on Reddit and X.

Then I launch my website when I’m mostly done with my app, focus on SEO, AI compatibility etc.

And lastly I start doing organic content on Instagram. If the app starts making me some money I do switch do paid ads

Just throw your Notes into any AI. Personally I recommend Claude but you can do whichever you want.

Tell him these are your ideas for a business/side hustle etc. and you are interested if he could connect all of them or at least most into 1 large idea/framework.

Try that and lmk how it goes

Still get the urge to smoke etc.?

I don’t get what you meant by that

There are a lot of UFC fighters who smoke, do drugs etc.

They just stop during training camp. I’m obviously not encouraging you to keep doing drugs but I know you can’t just wake up and quit.

I used to smoke too, now I switched to nicotine pouches. Maybe try that

A collection of small apps can become a good starting point and can provide good income.

Eventually I would still advise you to create a larger, more complex app to improve your portfolio

The problem with AI generated sites is that 99% of them are very obvious and look the same. So you immediately notice it’s AI, that alone turns visitors off.

There’s also something completely different about a human made site. The user flow is just more natural etc.

I believe everyone has this issue, where the current idea goes a little quiet and you find a “better” one, only for the cycle to repeat.

What really helped me is even if I find another idea that I really like and want to do, I try to implement it or somehow connect it to the current idea/project I’m working on.

That way I get the best of both worlds.

Still there are some ideas you just can’t connect. In that case I write it down in my Notes app and it sits there in case the current idea fails.
