My Whisky glass-themed screen recorder, ShotGlass, JUST WENT VIRAL!
Here's what happened:
- Launch post hit the TOP of r/MacApps on Reddit
- Started getting shared on X and Instagram
- Went viral from someone else's X post
- My phones been dinging non-stop and it's made over $800 USD in 2 days
Read it all here 👇
Spent the last 6 months building this tool (probably too long), but I really needed it to promote my other apps. I wanted something that could make demo videos that just looked good straight out of the box.
I had an image in my head of something that could film demos like the recent macbook neo commercials.
So, once I had an initial version ready, I posted it to r/MacApps
It went crazy and started selling within the first hour.
2 days later and it's sitting at 274 upvotes (#2 for the week)
Then it started getting traction on X and instagram. But, it wasn't from my posts.
It was from complete strangers that found it trending on reddit and basically re-hashed what I said but in
ALL UPPERCASE then all lowercase bro form
BUT IT FREAKING WORKED. HIT 1,2K LIKES AND 132K VIEWS
and i made $800 USD - the most I've made from a launch so far
If you've downloaded the app, thank you so much for the support. It's HUGE for a small dev like me. I'll be posting updates as we go!
