Part 2 is LIVE now on my channel! Want help building your app? DM me on Instagram / Twitter: @stevencravotta

I have been developing my app for about 6 months now (and contracting out things I do not know how to do) and this video would have saved me so much time when first starting out. 😂 I agree with everything you said! Especially doing a 15 minute call on up work to check the vibe of the new hire. Good video looking forward to the marketing side!!

As software engineer / Full stack developer , I struggle a lot with design . Thanks for this info

Been a long time since I found someone share this much info on KZfaq for free, never subbed so quickly before.

Great value bro! Sick what you are sharing with us. I used 99 designs years ago, glad this site is still such a banger.

So, I followed along with this video. I went to 99 Designs, signed up and poked around to see the process as you were showing it. Right there, the top of the list is the recent designs/contests and your design from this video is right there on the top. It is not often you are following along with a video and the very thing the creator is teaching you shows up on the 3rd party page. Great content. I can't wait for the next video, really feel this is actionable. I think I'd like to hear more about any failures or pivots you had to make in situations where something might not have been vetted properly. Miscalculated something, poor launch conditions, etc. I think my biggest concern would be dropping $3500-$5000 on putting myself through this process to find that I made a series of poor choices.

Man just solved my problem in a video. I’m a full-stack Django/Python developer. I also love Swift and iOS. My problem is UI/UX. Thanks!!! You earned a sub from me.

waiting for the next video, would love to see the marketing side of things because that is where most new apps lack and die off, lots of money gets wasted that way (speaking from experience)

Just found your channel and this was incredible content. Super clear and step by step instructions

this all makes so much sense. very open and clear. Thank you so much bro.

Dude I am so stoked to find your channel, Thanks!!..

Great video! Would love to see you put out more info about this stuff!

Wow , I’m impressed you’re willing to share in so much detail . You’re going to make waves in software 👍

I’m so inspired by this video. What’s super funny is I’m an app developer professionally, but I’m so burnt out after work i can’t imagine writing code for an app side project. I’d way rather have someone else do it. You definitely inspired me. Great content. I’m definitely subscribing

Thank you so much for sharing! Been holding off on this app idea for over 5 years! With your content, I've decide to start the process!

This is the single MOST beneficial app development video I have seen. Makes sense along with your credentials and also that you are not emotionally attached to the software dev process since you aren't a developer and you are focused on the results. Amazing job and thank you for all of this free information.

Keep up with the SaaS content! Straightforward and valuable, thank you!!!

This is great! Especially the design part. Lucky for me I am a developer so I'm saving mad money there lol

This is going to take a lot of the workload off of me. I mock up, design, code, and build everything solo. Just knowing about some of these sites will be helpful for me to focus my energy on many other projects for my portfolio. Excellent video; I'm so glad I stumbled across this

I run a software business that has a small mobile aspect that after 14 years employs 25 people. You confirmed to me you knew what you were talking about when you got a design by tournament, use upwork, and chose a dev from Eastern Europe. I can confirm this from my experience 100%. This is solid advice.

Respect man. I have watch numerous videos of all these people making thousands but they never give prove. I just subscribed.

I actually have done this exact same progress before finding this video! Launching the app on appstore any day now

great video man, keep pushing this content!

You're an inspiration man, great video! Just Subscribed

This video is incredible !! Thanks for what you shared and the quality of the content

This was awesome! Super easy and concise explanations all the way through. The investment isn't too nuts, and no risk no reward, honestly. This is a great avenue that many people should consider. Very interested to see your next vid on the marketing. Also, 10 points for being incredibly normal, approachable and up-front about not selling us anything etc etc. BTW, my mother loves Wordle, ha!😂 Keep up the great work, Steveo🚀🤩

900 Subs three weeks ago to 4.2k today ! your killing it bro

Man, you're awesome! This is the route to go.

Saw in the first seconds you are serious. Nice info I really appreciate

Great video post. Super details from milestone to milestone. Loved it. Thanks

Very well explained, valuable information. You’ve earned a new subscriber.

DUDE! SWEET ACTION BRO! Thank You for making this. : )

Thanks to KZfaq algorithm for recommending this video to me. This is exactly what I need right now.

New Sub here!!, its worth it joining such a community that explanation and process was educative to watch just the right moment because i wanted to hire a designer from upwork but i've found the way things go now, I dont need a developer since i am a developer my self but 99design really is a game changer, thanks bro ur amazing!!

I was selected by the gods to see this video !! subscribed 🔥

Great video! Super underrated insanely useful knowledge

instantly subbed! Thanks for the great quality content!

So much knowledge, it's crazy

Great video, what was the budget for the design contest ? Do you have all the copyright when the design is over ?

This was awesome, easy to follow, super informative, to the point. Thank you for sharing! I’m ready to design and bring my app to life! 1:40pm pst CA, USA

this is awesome steven I spent the last 6 months learning to code and got my app out on mobile just a month ago At 6600 installs as of today and $350 revenue: looking forward to your next video! Will work on my UI as its very rough me being a new dev but i have ppl offering to help for free with UI/UX to support the cause of the app

design contest is genius!! can't believe I've never heard of it.

hey Steven, thanks for the video. I am just curious, are you building mobile apps with the intention to ultimately exit them or it's a "churn and burn" game?

Appreciate you brodie. Was lost but now on track to building one of the biggest universal apps since Facebook.

Great content, I was thinking of creating apps with AI tools and no code tools, but your idea is also good, even though it requires more money. I am from the Netherlands but living in Bulgaria, I have had dealings with developers from India and Pakistan, I was so happy to hear that East European developers are the best, I had no idea! I chose the right country to live in, I already loved it here but now even more. I subscribed and will follow you closely. Thanks a lot.

Great video, thank you so much. Some quick questions that popped up for me For the apps, what services do you typically use for the backend database. Who uploads them to the app stores, do you get all the code from the developer and then use your own account for this? In the video you asked for a react developer, what did you use them to push it to the native app stores? Again, thanks so much, super informative and I’m keen to understand more

Bruh this is a goldmine gem next level knowledge you are dropping

Bro you are a leagend! Thank you for sharing your experience without any distraction or being like other BS KZfaqrs

Good video stephen. What is a good "get to market" time to aim for? 3 months? 6? a year?

Thanks for the GREAT CONTENT man!!!😃

Looking forward to the next video, Steven!

Real valuable information. Thanks a lot buddy.

He is absolutely correct about only hiring from Eastern Europe. They understand the projects in terms of a total project multiple layer and give value suggestions based on that.

Thank you very much Steven.. I just subscribed.. You are very straight forward and you give a lot of informations. How can I get the spread sheet?

Thanks a lot for sharing; sharing is the true definition of love.

Such great information and very straightforward

Dude most people are selling shit. Thanks for all the info you rock. Licked and Subbed

This is extremely helpful! Could you now dive into marketing micro-saas apps please with different strategies and how to's that would help out so much!

do u recommend when it comes to ads just to copy and paste which ads are working for that ai software and retweak it a little bit as your software?

New here and subscribed. Very informative and practical. Hope I can create an apps soon after this.

So much value holy fck thank you so much, your the best saas youtuber iv seen

Great content! Thanks for sharing !!

Thanks for a clear and concise explaination 🎉.

Hi Steven Thanks for your inspiring and helpful video!!! :) Quick question. How can you make sure that you are not building an app with patented functionalities/features/processes? For example if you got inspired by a cool idea from another app, let's say a marketplace app, and you want to do your own thing. I am also not sure what fix price i would need to set in order to have my app build since I want to make a fair price and hopefully receive a good outcome but I do not want to overpay. :) Thanks Cheers, Andreas

Great video, thank you for this.

Very informative. You have certainly motivated me not to give upon my idea. I look forward to the next video.

But if you uploaded to 99 design, wont your app idea be copied by other people?

Steven, that was a brilliant video, thank you so much. I devised an app 8 yrs ago and was stung (not much but I’m retired and on a pension) by an Indian developer and lost heart. Because of this video I’m going to give it another shot. My only question is, how do you pitch the price you’re prepared to pay to have your App made? Mine is very basic.

99 designs is pretty amazing. I agree its the best way.... not always the cheapest source, but the value cant be beat if you got a serious project that needs to be a winner first round. Curious if you choose "guaranteed winner" ? I always have, so not sure if it makes a difference or not.

super useful video. thanks for sharing the know how

Great video dude! I've done a similar thing but have a question. One problem I ran in too, is finding bugs/wanting to make improves once the app is developed. I then go back to the developer and they want extra money for this and that. How do you handle the process of ongoing support and updates for the app? Thanks dude!

Awesome video, are you still running your agency or any other businesses?

Good on you brother, this is a great video

Awesome video man.

I'm curious regarding the security of the idea. Is their any legal protection, at least for Upwork that you get?

Awesome video man

amazing content bro!!!!

Thank you for the guide! What coding language should the developer use? Is it a bad idea to ask them to build it in bubble? Thank you again

Great Video! Waiting for the Marketing and profit video. :)

Hi Steven! 😊 Love your video and thank you for sharing! 👍🏻 I do have a question: If the Developer uploaded to the App Store then who owns the App and how you could have the control of the App? 🤔

Great video , honest and impressive

amazing content you always build mobile apps or do you also build web apps. which is better to grow and to market. thanks for the content subscribed!!

It's inspiring to see how the speaker has turned building mobile apps into a successful business model! 💼 Their emphasis on problem-solving, validation, and outsourcing aligns perfectly with proven strategies for app development and marketing.

The CAC ( customer acquisition cost) is where you live or die. Love to see the marketing video.

Great content! You should do a part 2 of this video!

It’s been a while since I’ve watched such a good video. But how do you handle maintenance and updates for the app?

Wow 943 subs a month ago, and now 7K+ congrats

This was super interesting to me. How do you handle publishing and maintenance of the app if you didn't build it yourself? What does the handover from the developer look like? Do they give you files and you publish it yourself? Does the developer publish it and you take over the account? And if there is a glitch or situation later and the dev is not available do you just hire another dev? I guess it's too many questions for one comment lol.

Greate Video! Very informative. True businessman that knows how to reach goals. I just wonder how you assure that your idea is not adapted and used by the designer or developer itself on such platforms.

Hey Steven, really nice and very helpful video! I was wondering if i can help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.

That’s great man I always think I need at least 50k to launch app😊 My question what’s the next cost after the app run on Apple Store?

ezzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaxtly what I do! the most famous phrase of the youtuber's era.

Looking forward to the follow up!

Awesome info thanks for sharing 👍

Subscribed, because I wanna see live deployment data and your actual monetization. Please actually show us real life experience.

Hey man can you share the doc's first few page where the checklist is?

LFG, Steven! Legend

Great Video! When can we expect a part 2 ? Really useful content 👌🏾

99 design is wowwwwwww🤯. Mind shifting for sure so I’m super thankful to have seen this

Great video! Would love to see the marketing process. I'm finding that the marketing aspect is a massive mountain to climb on its own.
