My apps kept flopping, so my team and I built an app to fix that
I have a solo dev background, but for this one I brought on a team. I've shipped a handful of iOS apps over the past year and most of them flopped. Not because the product was bad, but because nobody saw it.
There are so many apps, web apps, and SaaS products out there with huge potential, but if you want to actually become a successful founder, your marketing strategy is the key. Not just the build. I learned that the hard way after putting months into products that never got distribution.
So my team and I built Faze: an iOS app connecting app, web app, and SaaS founders with TikTok and Instagram UGC creators for budget friendly sponsored posts. You post a campaign, creators apply, and you only pay when their content goes live. No platform fees and no subscriptions.
It's live on the App Store now, and I'm. currently looking for a few founders to run a campaign and tell me honestly if it moves the needle for you.

Love this. The pay-per-post model makes so much sense for devs who don't want to commit to a retainer or subscription. Following to see how this develops.
I'll join now! Thanks for the info.
Came across this older discussion and wanted to add that I'm curious how Faze has evolved in recent months. Have there been any new features or changes based on initial user feedback? Also, how effective have founders found the UGC approach in increasing app visibility over time? Would love to hear updates and insights from anyone who's tried Faze recently!
