How I turned 2 AM coding sessions into $4K/month

Hey there,

Ever experienced a late night hunched over your laptop, energy drinks scattered around, desperately trying to learn Swift?

That was me in 2017.

Picture this: Alarm blaring at 4 AM. I stumble to my desk for 2 tired-eyed hours of iOS tutorials before my soul-crushing 8-5.

Then I get home after work and what do I do?

More coding.

My first app? A clunky freediving trainer.

No fancy UI. Barely functional. But it solved MY problem.

Launch day came. Downloads trickled in. Then...

$50. $100. $500 a month.

Fast forward to April 2023: $4,872 in-app revenue.

The kicker? I work less now than I did as a broke freelancer.

Here's my blueprint:

Over the next 2 weeks, I'm breaking down each step. Just take what works.

Stick around. This gets good.

P.S. Got an app idea brewing? Reply with a one-sentence pitch and I’d love to hear it.
