How He Built 30 Apps Making $7K/Month (While Working Full-Time)

An indie hacker named Maxim shares how he built a portfolio of 30 mobile apps generating $7K/month while working a full-time job and raising a family. Key strategies include: using the 80/20 rule (20% of apps drive 80% of revenue), cloning a single codebase across multiple subject-specific apps (e.g., chemistry, math, statistics AI), focusing on ASO keyword research using tools like AppFollow/Astro, keeping apps single-featured, prioritizing onboarding before the paywall, using Fastlane for multi-app deployments, and experimenting with TikTok slideshow content for distribution. He wakes at 6am for 2 hours of deep work before his family rises and works another hour at night, shipping apps in as little as 2 hours by reusing boilerplate code.
