Hi Indie Hackers
I'm an iOS developer with experience since iOS 3. While I mastered the technical skills to ace interviews, the pay offers just weren't reflecting my expertise.
Through trial and error, I achieved a 7x income boost in just one year. To my surprise, it wasn't purely technical skills that unlocked this growth.
I discovered a set of non-technical practices that significantly impacted my career progression. Talking to fellow mobile app devs revealed they faced similar struggles despite their talent.
This sparked the idea for MADMBA.com (Mobile App Dev MBA), a non-technical course designed specifically for mobile app developers looking to take their careers to the next level.
Initially, I saw promising results with a few iOS developer signups at a $5 price point. Excited, I experimented with pricing adjustments and added details like subscriber count to the landing page.
Unfortunately, increasing the price to $19 and making further landing page changes resulted in a drop in signups. I tried various strategies to attract more users, but nothing seemed to work.
So overall MADMBA.com generated $100 but I'm not satisfy with the results.
Could anyone here help me identify what elements of my landing page are effective and what areas need improvement?
Calling all mobile app devs: Have you encountered similar roadblocks in your career advancement? If so, I'd love to hear your experiences!
