Transcript

How much money I've made from my app and how much it cost me to make. It cost me about $17.99. The landing page cost me about $27. The Gemini API cost me about $37. And I paid influencers about $260 for promos. In about two weeks I made $333 in weekly subs. Yearly subs: $491. Profit: $482. And that's before Apple takes their 15% cut. This is not bad considering it's completely passive.
