Hello. Hope you are doing well. So in this video, I just wanted to talk a bit about, uh, how I've been kinda automating using AI,
uh, the App Store, right, or creating apps that I put up on the App Store. So you can see my results here. This has been going really well. Right? We have sold three nineteen
app units
for $789,
and you can see I think we are kind of trending upwards here. So we've been making, like, $70.60,
50, around $60,
uh, each day now on these apps. So you can see I don't have a lot of apps. I only have, like, two,
uh, that is paid and two testing apps I did.
So, basically, we basically have just two apps. And I think both these apps, spent around maybe
one to two hours creating. So let's say I spent, I would say, maybe four hours on these two apps. So if you do like $7.89
divided by four hours,
how much is that per hour?
Yeah. That's like $197
per hour. Right? That's pretty good.
That's a really good payoff. Right? So if we can scale this so this is what I wanted to talk about this video.
Let's I just wanted to talk a bit about how I kinda think about these apps because I really want them to be
not low effort. I guess it could be low effort, but I want don't wanna get, like, sunken cost fallacy into them. So you keep spending working a week, two, three weeks on one app because
it's really hit and miss. Right?
And I don't even spend any money on marketing on these apps. Right? So there is possibilities out there. So today, I just wanted to talk a bit about my process, and we might do, like, a simple example.
This video might be like some kind of
voice over because I'm gonna do that on my MacBook. But, anyway, that's what I wanted to talk about today. If this sounds interesting interesting to you, how we can kind of farm the App Store to,
yeah, make some kind of change here if you want to. So this is the video for you. So, yeah, let's get going. Just one more thing before we get into it. So if you see this rabbit icon in the top left here, you might be thinking, what is this? So this means that this video that you are watching now has like a hidden treasure hunt that I talked about in my previous video.
So if you see this rabbit after this video is posted, you can go to my Twitch account,
follow, and you should see a tweet like this. So the hunt is live. You get this wallet address, and there's a clue.
And in this clue,
there is a way to solve this,
and you can find like a hidden treasure.
If you find the wallet address and the private key that is hidden somewhere in the video, this could be a link to another page on the video. It's some kind of puzzle I really wanted to do in my videos going forward.
So I did the first one last, uh, last night or last day, I guess,
and someone sold it after twenty minutes. So hopefully, this one is a bit more,
uh, advanced.
So I try to make the puzzle a bit more interesting,
but that is why this white rabbit is in the corner. This means that this is a treasure hunt video.
So if you wanna dive more into that, I'm gonna leave a link in the description a bit more about the the the hunt contest or whatever you wanna call it.
So, yeah, that that that's why that is up there. So now let's go back to the to the App Store.
Okay. So, uh, what I wanted to show you is kinda how I have been thinking about how to find these
trending topics, I think that's the best way actually to do this. Because
if we have, like, a trending topic,
we don't need to do that much marketing. Right? So we kinda wanna find something
to create into an app
that, uh, is like a trending topic or something that is rising.
So if we could catch that early and there's no market for it, I think that's a good way to think about this.
So the sources I have been using to research this is like Google Trends.
So I've been just putting it to United States
past seven days,
and I just sort by categories. So maybe I think one good category could be like
gaming,
right? So let's say there's a new game that is very popular. You could do something with that. Let's say we find Subnautica
two
or you can look here, yeah, Halo, Wordle hint.
So this is a good way to do this. Let's say we check something like
entertainment.
Here, you can find something. So I've been just looking at this and sorting by search volume.
So you can see Drake,
okay, is on top on entertainment.
And for example,
shopping.
Uh, here, I have, a popular watch.
This could be maybe something. You can check this out. So
swatch
some kind of, yeah, new watch here. You can look into that. And another thing I've been using is something called SubRift. So this is
discover top growing communities on Reddit. So this could be very effective too because you can sort by, let's say, weekly,
and then you can do all sizes
and yeah. Let's say weekly.
That could be interesting. And we can scroll down here, and you can see weekly, this random video sub rate has been growing really hard. Let's say if there are anything interesting
here, olden
era, Veronica Miller.
And you can just look through this. This is kind of things that are kind of trending. Right? You can see daily growth, weekly growth.
And of course, you can visit this subreddit and see what it's about. This is about a game. Okay?
Right. And this is something old and era.
Yeah. That was the game. Right? What was the the other one? Veronica Miller.
Yeah. This is a a girl, I guess. Okay. That's fine. But, uh, yeah, you kinda get the point. This is a good place to look at this to find trending things.
Uh, let me close those.
Okay.
And, of course, uh, another thing I use is Google.
So this is good too. You can do something like, for example,
I like to do is is there an app for, and I just do a.
I check, like, AirPods.
Let's do g,
gas prices,
Google Forms, Gemini AI,
Y, YouTube,
and Yorkshire
Water. This is something you can do too.
ICloud,
Indeed employees.
But, of course, this is a bit short list, but you could find other ways to get longer lists. Right?
So this is the three things I have been using,
Google Trends,
SubRiff,
Google,
and, of course, if you are on YouTube,
uh, like, I'm not on TikTok or Instagram, but if you are there too, you can probably find some stuff.
So basically looking or just browse normal Reddit. Right?
So, basically, I'm just looking for things that are kinda trending up, and I think these are good things to
to target. Right? That is what we are gonna do today. We're just gonna find something simple,
turn it into something just to show you the workflow here.
So I think I'm gonna find something now and then try to do something simple with it. Okay. So after been searching for, I guess, five minutes, I found this nontoxic.
So I found this from subref. Right? Nontoxic.
This was,
yeah, around here.
So this is like a growing subreddit,
and I checked explore.
You can see this is like a rising topic, nontoxic.
Haven't looked at it myself, but I thought we can just make a simple
list
or like a simple app that kinda lists,
uh, some products that is nontoxic.
Right?
So I think that is gonna be pretty interesting, and it's gonna be super easy to make.
So
I'm just gonna hone in a bit more on exactly how I want it
and how what kind of posts are kind of popular here. So we can kinda go to top,
and we can check what posts are kinda top
people like here. I think this one is a good one to start right?
And we can look at that and see how we're going to turn this into an app.
And from there, uh, we're going to build it out, and I'm going to show you kind of the workflow of this. Okay. So let's just do this on Cloud Code. So let's create a directory,
nontoxic,
right? And let's just do that.
Uh, and let's just go into Claude here. Uh, let's just do this. Okay. And from there, we're just gonna do some research. So I'm just gonna do,
uh, I'm gonna take this
and paste it in as a source.
Okay.
It's fine.
Uh, let's do a couple other sources. Okay. So the instructions I'm gonna give cloud code now. You can see we have all the sources here. These are sources for our new iOS app called nontoxic.
The app should be a very beginner friendly app for people to understand what to look for to find nontoxic products.
Your task is to do research for the app and create a research package we can use to build the app. Good luck. Use sub agents if needed. So now I'm just gonna send out this. So this is gonna be like an agentic workflow.
So hopefully, when I come back now, we have, a good research package
I can bring over to my MacBook Pro so where we can actually start to build out the app based on this. It's not gonna be a complex app. It's not gonna be something that is really difficult to build or really difficult to sign up to. It's gonna be a super easy UI
front end focused app,
so people can just look
at and kinda learn about nontoxic
products. That is the simple idea. Right? Again, this is just an experiment. So I'm just gonna let this run, and I'll take you back when we have the package. Okay. So that was our research packet was done. We did a lot of research on this topic. So but I'm gonna make it pretty simple. But, basically, I did zip this. So I wanna move this over to my MacBook. So I'm just gonna reveal,
and I'm just gonna move this over. So I'm just gonna share this with my MacBook.
And from there, we're gonna try to build out the app using some automation I have used before. So let's just head over to the MacBook. I'm probably gonna do voice over there, but, uh, I guess that's fine. Okay. So now you see I am gonna move this research.
I'm just gonna paste it in here.
And if you go here now, you can see it. We have all the research. So that's pretty good.
And this is kinda my automated
setup for doing these apps.
So I have done a video on this for if you wanna go back into my category. You can kinda see how I automate using or creating apps. But now we should be ready to actually build out this app. So I'm just gonna say read, uh, and I'm gonna tag the research
document,
uh, folder here.
And when we have done that, I'm just gonna give some instructions how I want this app to look, how I want it to feel, and hopefully, Cloud Code can build out this app for us now. Okay. So now I'm just gonna set Cloud Code into plan mode. I'm gonna say next step is to build the app. Super easy to use. The goal of the app is to help users what to look for to find and avoid toxic products.
Uh, I want to design to have a smooth neo brutalism look, colorful, interesting icons,
non complex, only help users to avoid to find and avoid toxic products based on a category with tips and tricks. It should be on device, no APIs, create a detailed plan. So that is basically what I'm gonna do now for the first iteration. Iteration. This should be fairly automatic when we have the plan,
and I can just come back later and have the app.
And if the app kinda is
showing some
kind of interest, let's say we publish this and it has some kind of interest, I think it's better to build upon that when we have that.
So let's just let this, uh, plan cook up. I'm gonna start it. We're gonna build out the first iteration,
and we're gonna have a look at it in the simulator.
So, also, I wanted to mention that now I have kinda Xcode here kinda hooked up to my automated system.
There is a video on my channel. You can find out more about this.
But, basically, we have created some kinda automated system
to plot code can control Xcode. So you can write and connect to Xcode here. So, yeah, let's just get this going. Okay. So this looks pretty good. Right? You can see we have the neo brutalist styling here. We can scroll down, and you can see we have a where to start. I don't know how good you can see this. We have some popular categories,
kitchen, household cleaning, personal care, know your ingredients.
Can we click that? No. That's maybe a small bug. But we can go to categories, and here we have a lot of categories. Let's say we click into
hair care. Right? And here we can see what to avoid.
That's pretty good. What to look for, fragrance free formulas.
We have some better swaps. I saw we have an issue here, so this is like stacked on top of each other, we gotta fix that. We have something called glow.
Sorry. How do you pronounce that? But here we can see all the kind of the chemicals.
Parabens,
we can read about that, what they do,
why it's flagged. We can read about this. Right? Yeah, I think this is pretty good. I remember this was one prompt. Right?
So I am kind of tempted to just post this
on the App Store.
Uh, we're just gonna fix this. So I just took a screenshot, and I said to Claude Code,
fix the pro tip part. I didn't say it, but I'm gonna do that. So let's see if we can fix that, rebuild this, and maybe we should just publish this.
Uh, it will probably be a free app, I think.
Or maybe we could do like a $1 app or something, $1.99 or something like that just for fun.
And we can maybe
we can maybe
iterate on it later. So let's see if we can fix that. Let's see if we can do a link to the know your ingredients as our
thing here. Okay. So you can see we made those two changes. We fixed the kind of the pro tip thing and the home view. So if you go back to the simulator now,
let's see if this has a link. Yeah. We just go straight to the that's good.
And there was something about, let's say, house cleaning and the pro tip. Yeah. That's fixed too. So now you can see we have a clear here. So I think this is kinda ready to just publish now the first iteration of this. Nontoxic.
That is the app.
So, um, I'm gonna just go back to I'm gonna say something like,
use surf agent. This is a
a package I have built to open a new crown CDP browser. Don't close the personal because
on the app, when you're gonna submit the app, there's a lot of things we have to fill out.
So I tried to automate this. So maybe I can show you a bit.
So this should pop up. Okay. So we need to just check that. And this should pop up like a new Chrome instance
where we can automate this. So now you can see we are logged into our App Store Connect, and I can just say to,
uh, Claude Code here. We are logged in on the App Store in, uh, CDP Chrome. Start work on the upload of the new app, nontoxic.
So this is something that is really nice to automate because now we don't have to fill out everything
on the Apple Store Connect page because that takes a lot of time. And since our Chrome
here, Cloud Code, mean, have all the information about the app,
we should be able to
to fill out everything.
So I'm just gonna probably just speed this up for you now,
and I'm gonna take you back when you can see how far we have come here.
So now we should be basically done here. All I have to do is add the build.
Yeah. Missing compliance.
Okay. So this is none. Right?
And let's see now if we save this, if we are able to add this for review. I also created this app icon. That looks pretty cool. Right?
So that's the app icon.
Let's
just click add for review
throughout submissions.
Let's see.
Yeah.
One point o,
submit,
and that's it.
That took me yeah. I was out and stuff, but, uh, basically,
for this full thing now, and we actually published it for review,
I will say about one hour
with the research and everything we did in the previous segments.
So I would say basically around one hour here of,
yeah, research,
building, using Claude Coda and everything to set this up. So basically, all they have to do now is wait for this to
complete. This could take like twenty four hours,
and we should be up and running on the App Store. Sometimes we have to do some small changes, iterations, and stuff.
But, uh, basically, this is what I wanted to share today.
And I think we are gonna head back to the Mac Mini and just to end this video
and do my final thoughts on this and how I plan to maybe scale this going forward. So, yeah, I hope this video gave you some inspiration of how you can start getting
into kind of farming,
if you wanna call it that, the Apple iOS App Store.
Because there are opportunities
out there if you wanna put in some time, learn AI tools, cloud code, codex, open code, study a bit on kinda Xcode, how you can do this, set up your account. The only downside is that you have to pay the Apple dev fee that is $70, but you can see I already earned back, like, 10 x of that so far. And I've been only doing this for, like, one month now, I think. Can I see, like, the full thing?
Last
ninety days.
Yeah. You can see I started exactly a month ago, and you can kinda see the growth here. So for me, it's been really good. Right? So I think there's opportunities for you too. So I'm gonna keep you posted on how the nontoxic
app is gonna do and how we are doing going forward. So look out for that if you're interested.
Also, remember this video is a white rabbit video. You can see it in the corner there. I'm gonna leave a link at the description to how it works if you wanna join in on the hunt and find yourself a nice price or reward somewhere.
Also, I have started doing rewards for clips.
If you clip up this video and you post it somewhere,
and I will give a reward to anyone that gets x amount of views. Uh, but if you go to my homepage slash clips, you can submit your clip, and we'll figure something cool out if you do that. So look out for that too. But, uh, basically, today, just wanted to share these nice things.
Basically, I wanna cover what you can use AI for today to, yeah,
make some money or whatever your goal is. So don't forget to follow me on x if you wanna join the hunt, like I said. And thank you for tuning in today. Hope this gave you some inspiration, and I'll see you again, uh, soon.
