Paywall Strategy: How 2 Paywalls Tripled Trial Starts Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Join the App Founders Community:

What happens when you show users 2 paywalls instead of 1?

In this video, I break down a real-world paywall test that helped triple trial starts, from roughly 3% to 7.7%, without a major increase in downloads.

You’ll see how the strategy works, why different users respond to different offers, and how adding a second paywall can give both ready-to-pay users and trial-driven users a path to subscribe.

I’ll also break down the pricing strategy, social proof, weekly vs. yearly plans, and the number of paywall views you should aim for before diminishing returns set in.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why 2 paywalls can outperform 1

✅ How the first and second paywalls were structured

✅ Why social proof matters on your paywall

✅ How paywall views can impact revenue

✅ The 8 paywall views benchmark for diminishing returns

✅ How to think about paywall strategy and user psychology

If you're working on app monetization, subscriptions, onboarding, or paywall optimization, this test is worth understanding.

This Dev Made $5K MRR Look Easy (Copy This ASO-First Strategy) Aug 29, 2026

Show notes

What if the best app idea isn’t in your head, but hidden in the App Store?

In this livestream, we’re joined by Mohamed Khaled Selim, an Egyptian indie app developer and former professional football player who transitioned from sports to software development.

After building 10 unsuccessful apps, Mohamed discovered a different approach: start with the keyword, not the app idea.

He’ll share how this keyword-first strategy helped him build a $5K MRR app, including how to identify underserved opportunities outside the US market and turn those gaps into profitable app ideas.

We’ll also explore why non-US markets can be overlooked opportunities for indie developers, the advantages and challenges of targeting them, and how to validate an idea before investing months into development.

You will discover:

✅ Why 10 failed apps led to a completely different approach

✅ How the keyword-first strategy works

✅ How to find app opportunities in non-US markets

✅ How to identify gaps in underserved markets

✅ How to validate an app idea before building it
