Hakeem Dimozantos
- Japanese App Founder
- $30,000 revenue in 28 days
Hakeem Dimozantos, 22, built an iOS app that teaches Japanese through short clips from anime and TV dramas 👀
Tap any word you don’t know, then save it as a flashcard.
He’d never built a mobile app before.
His numbers five months after launch…
A little over 9,000 downloads, 476 active subscriptions, 287 active trials, and we’ve made almost $7K in the past 28 days with $2.1K MRR.
By early October, his dashboard showed $30,005 in revenue over 28 days.
Most of that is yearly plans paid upfront, so his MRR is $7,151.
Kiku is free to download, Pro costs $49.99 a year.
He posts mostly Japanese tips on social, not app promos, but that still drives sales…
This was almost all just from me posting four or five times a day organically on TikTok and Instagram.
He only switched on Meta ads in late August, once the app was already making $7K a month.
And his main TikTok account has just 6.2K followers 🤯
So it was the views doing the work, not the following.
Anyone watching Japanese tips every day is a potential customer for a Japanese app.
Pick a skill people are frustrated learning, post free tips about it for a month, then launch a $50-a-year app for those viewers 😎
