What they did

On Instagram, uses ManyChat: 'Comment download and I'll send you your custom affirmations.' The auto-DM sends them to download the app, and also says 'Hey, if you review the app, let me know so I can thank you personally' to encourage App Store reviews.

What happened

Guest says people download the app from it and the thank-you offer helps reviews; no numbers.

In their words

She Built This $300K/Month App in 60 Days

Sarah Pearl… like that, your first instinct is let me save this video, because if you have to repeat it for 7 days, like you're going to have to come back to it. When someone saves a video, then it increases engagement. There you go. And in general, this is very saveable content, right? People want to like listen to an affirmation another day. So if you can make content that naturally gets shares or saves, that's going to make it go viral every time.

Sarah PearlAnother thing is I would just say I'm really good at creating affirmations, so that also is why it goes viral. So if there's something that you are really good at, or you have like a unique spin on, that contributes to it. Another thing I really like to do on Instagram specifically is use Manychat. So I'll tell people, "Comment download and I'll send you your custom affirmations." And then they download the app. And actually, in the Manychat, I tell them, I'm like, "Hey, if you review the app, like let me know so I can thank you personally." So that also helps. Some of the videos, I mention Stella, but I don't show the use case, and then that'll usually convert a little worse. I would say some of the best converting stuff is actually this, where this got 300K views, but it converted super well.

Sarah PearlSo, you know, they see that, they're like, "What's the app?" There's this fine balance you have to find between videos that go viral, but then also videos that'll specifically demo the app or convert well.
