What niche or demographic does your app serve? One thing to remember when you are getting some "handholding"... what works for one person, or one type of product, doesn't always work for another person or product. One of the easiest, and probably the single most powerful thing WE have done for all our businesses, (definitely the least expensive), something that really worked for us, was to build FB groups that are based around our target demographic.....ie...one of our businesses was importing and selling sublimation blanks and equipment to home based "Mom and Pop" sublimators... we also joined a lot of other FB sublimation groups. We watched for issues and problems people were having, and started our own group to help people get help with their issues. WE became an authority...and better yet, we found that as our group grew, members would help members. (Once it got to a certain size, whether we were there to answer questions anymore or not, was irrelevant... members would take care of other members ). At first, for about a year, (2020), as our group was building, we sold blanks inside FB to our group members...so we had revenue right away. (If you go this route, you could probably do this with your app too...sell inside FB as your group builds) ....Then we built a Shopify store. Our first calendar year out of the gate with the Shopify website, (2021), we did 501k ...not a single paid ad or promotion of any sort...all our traffic was organic social, and organic SEO. And in 2022, we did 584K. Completely Organically. To show I am not full of BS, here are some Iphone screenshots I downloaded from my Iphone to my computer in August 2022 (hence that darn date showing up on the screenshots!) I included Jan1 - Dec31, 2020 to show that the store didn't make any money in 2020...we actually were building it in Nov/Dec 2020, we opened it to the public Jan 1, 2021. (This was all right in the middle of covid). I guess my point is, YOU can do this. EVERYONE starts somewhere. You learned to build an app, and that's pretty incredible! NOW you have a product of your own...how many people do that out of the gate? It's yours....you created it.....to help other people! You have something to sell! How great is that! You learn by DOING!

By the way, I should PROBABLY mention that I have just built an app myself....putting the finishing touches on it, doing the tutorial videos and PDF's, etc. And yes...It is my first app too! My wife is more excited for me to launch than I am! I should probably follow my own advice and get it out there.....NAH! ....I'd rather just tweak it and play with it some more!😁 (It's a "Scratch and Win" contest creation software to help marketers build their lists, regardless of niche or product (physical or digital), generating sales as they do it). Anyway, It's easier for me to give others advice than to follow it!🤣

Lisa, Look for my comment in Rajesh's post here. It might give you some food for thought.(right now it is the post above yours) As far as testing your app, give it out to people in your target demographic in return for critiques and bug testing.

tks Bryan, I wasn't sure and didn't want to buy it again if I already had it!

REALLY great concept! SOOO NEEDED! Your planning and layout is perfect! Nice and clean, you made it really easy to use...everything is sequential.....really well thought out!

Hey Kim...My daughter is a multi instrument musician/singer songwriter...performs live mostly locally when she does perform, but is also an online "influencer" with a small but very targeted following (not huge yet, only about 40k followers, but very targeted)...because of this targeted following, she gets a ton of stuff sent to her from music brands almost daily, like a soundbooth from Voctent, music hardware from Singing straw, Strich, and Soundbrenner to name a few....even stuff like a tea for singers (YUCH! I can't remember what its called but it's terrible! LOL), and though her following isn't huge, she gets orders for her personal merch from all over the world (just amazes me!) She has pretty big artists follow and reach out to her, and her music has had some radio play (not that radio is even a thing anymore), has had her songs featured on the Bob Cesca Show in the U.S.A. 3 times (former video producer/director for MTV, now a huge political podcaster in DC), and I could go on and on.... She performs live, but not often anymore, as she doesn't seek it out...(she would rather write music and she does a lot of video, we have a bit of a studio)....that said, she has opened twice for Saskatchewan Country Artist of the year JJ Voss...performed at large outdoor events like International Womens Day Canada, stuff like that. (Yes, we are in Canada!) I guess I should get to the point!...(I get typing and my computer just pukes stuff out!)....Is your software something that would be a fit for an audience like hers? If so, please reach out! Thanks, Mike Rytter p.s. just re-read the above....sorry for the bragging...just a proud Dad!

@Kim LeClear Tks Kim...she has all that...Lawyer etc...(We actually just went thru a royalty dust-up with one of her distributors, LOL!)....anyway, my thought when I read your post this morning, was that if your idea was something for artists/performers, she could help you by connecting you with her audience! But.... your product is going to be for attendees! (Can't wait to see it tho!)
