You might be sleeping on a ton of revenue.
This new AI app did 20K/mo downloads & $20K/mo…
…in under 120 days, targeting this one market:
I feel you: targeting the U.S. is tough.
Even if you’re there, it’s very competitive.
Don’t sleep on the other markets you could be dominating.
Don’t take it from me, take it from them:
Saga Stories is an app where you create your own story with AI.
Launched mid January, now at 20K downloads and $20K MRR.
They monetize this:
By charging monthly or weekly for unlimited access to storylines, characters, features, etc.
The app is only available in English; however:
it ranks:
#47 in Books in Russia
#33 im Kazakhstan
but only #304 in the US…
That’s an accident. It tracks all the way back to their TikTok strategy, which
Started about 60 days ago, with 2,823,385 views.
What happened on April 3rd Sherlock?
14 accounts. 3 branded, the rest are UGC/ambassador.
Most content in English, getting little to no traction (all < 500 views).
Until:
On April 3rd, they posted this video in Russian on tt@dariamitro1
She’s a creator promoting fanfic apps.
Hook: “What to do if you dream of reading a fanfic that doesn’t exist?”
Followed by: “Saga is exactly for such situations!”
Na Zdrovye!!

Comments on the Russia vs US market:
U.S.:
Russian:
“In my day, we used to write applications on Physbook and wait for years…”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THANK YOU DEAR, NOW I DON’T NEED REAL LIFE ANYMORE, NO ONE WILL EVER SEE ME AGAIN, GOODBYE”
We’re seeing great results targeting Spain ourselves right now on 2 apps.
Content is absolutely crushing with high conversions to paid.
Probably not as high as in the U.S., but content gets more views and the landscape is less competitive (which counterbalances).
I’ve covered some of the best international expansion strategies here:

We are also scaling the EU creator pipeline with FindMeCreators.
DM me if you want to scale a creator network in Spain/EU before your competitors get there.
Peace.
