I just got my first paying subscriber

$6 not much, but motivating that somebody is actually willing to pay🤯

I built an app called AppBlockr to fight doomscrolling while helping you be productive at the same time. Instead of simply blocking social media you have to complete your own tasks to unlock it again. You prove the task with a photo which gets checked by AI.

The funny thing is that I never really expected to get a subscriber since I have barely done any active marketing.

Until now I have only made the Play Store listing, listed it on Product Hunt and AlternativeTo, posted one comment on Reddit and built a website that gets basically no traffic. Thats the basic stuff. No real marketing strategy so far.

Now I’m about to actually start marketing it and I’m wondering what direction makes the most sense for this app.

I’m considering different approaches like paid ads, content marketing, creator collaborations/UGC or building up SEO.

What do you think would be the best distribution channel or type of marketing for a product like this? I appreciate any advice 🙏
