How to build your first $10K MRR AI wrapper mobile app…

…and become financially independent in 2025:

Step 1: Pick an AI wrapper idea:

• Don’t overthink. Inspiration is everywhere
• It’s best to base yourself on something that’s already making $200k+ MRR
• Study top-grossing categories to see what others pay for
• Copy existing app with a twist

Step 2: Pre-Build Distribution:

• Create 4 TikTok/Reel accounts with those formats:
• 1. Green screen founder format
• 2. Build-in-public founder format
• 3. 2x Faceless re-purposed content with long hooks
• Get a list of 500+ nano/micro influencers in the niche
• Reach out & negotiate bulk deals to lower cost (the more niche the cheaper)
• In case audience is on Twitter also build-in-public there

Step 3: Learn to Code:

• Learn just enough to go live on the AppStore
• Skip uni and bootcamps => watch YouTube / Learn with Chat
• Download Cursor and start to vibe code asap
• Even faster no-code with AI gen tools
• Build and ship 1 app a week/month

Alternative: find a nerd to do it 4 you.

Step 4: Launch the MVP (asap):

• Build in 1 or 2 weeks or less using templates
• Hard paywall / no trial / no bs
• Design virality into your app screens (copy AMO, NGL, …)
• Prompt everything from logo to appstore images

Step 5: Scale Distribution to $10K+ MRR:

• Pre-distribution gave you insights on which format and hook works
• Scale 5 to 10 accounts on what got you traction
• Increase micro creator partnership / create relationships
• As soon as you make $; Scale with an army of face ambassadors
• + faceless accounts

Never been easier to make a $10k MRR app with ZERO previous experience.

Could be the most significant arbitrage opportunity in 100+ years.

[Extended Steps]

Step 1: Pick an AI wrapper idea (extended):

• Either use AI to 5x UX of a shitty app making $20K+
• Differentiate with a unique value prop
• Merge app A & B into app C
• Niche down large app and/or
• Spin one of their core feature into its own product
• Clone app to another demographics

Step 2: Pre-Build Distribution (extended):

• Best founder formats are green screen, build-in-public, behind-the-scene, long pov hooks, if X & Y had a baby it’d be my app, …
• Repurpose. Don’t innovate take existing content turn it into faceless carousels
• Mass reach micro/nano influencers; buy a db, scrape, hire a VA, list thousands and thousands of creators that could match your vertical
• If you want the lowest price bulk negotiate; find the rare ones that accept low rates
• Sign multi video deal with cheap creators; they should post once a week
• Repurpose your content. Every video you make you should cross-post / re-edit and re-post

Step 3 + 4: Learn to Code / Build an MVP (extended):

• Build and ship 1 app a week/month
• First one will be shit, doesn’t matter
• Learn to build by shipping, build template
• Each app will take 50% of the time of the previous one
• Dissect the best apps out there
• COPY & STEAL from the best. There is no trademarks on UI/UX/paywalls
• Remember, coding is the easy part
• DO NOT GIVE UP

Step 5: Scale Distribution to $100K MRR (extended)

• There is no limits. Post offshore with 10 VAs in the phillipines
• Buy 5 cheap Android phones => 10 accounts +> locate U.S.
• Save all your content and clip it into hundreds of variations
• Scientifically test hooks until you find what works
• Scale hook to 1000 videos
• Build up ambassador network
• When something works horizontally scale to: dozens of accs / cross-platforms
• Faceless is your friend but it needs scale, face videos will yield highest results
• AI creators are ok; but over rated for organic rn
