I make $10K/month from 28 apps

What to study

Scale & Specificity

  • The numbers do strange maths, and that mismatch is the hook, because twenty-eight apps for $10K a month means many tiny apps rather than one big hit.
  • You click to understand how that model actually works.
  • The image text repeats the 28 apps, so the surface adds no new information.
How the packaging works
Title

The title pairs a modest income with a strange app count so the model becomes the question.

Thumbnail

A screen full of app icons hints at the portfolio while the text repeats the count.

Remix this

Use this when your numbers make people do sums in their head. An odd pair beats one round brag. Keep the two figures split across title and image rather than repeating one.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.

The transferable lesson

Numbers that force mental maths earn the click

What to avoid copying

The image repeats the title's 28 apps. Show the money side or the grid alone instead.
