I Copied A Huge App. Now I Make $80K/Month
Starter Story
Aug 9, 2026
Tomer scaled an AI-powered calorie tracker to $80,000 monthly revenue by localizing a successful US app concept for the Israeli market. By leveraging AI coding tools like Cursor to build the MVP in two weeks and partnering with influencers via revenue-share agreements, he bypassed the need for original invention and high upfront marketing costs.
Key insight: Instead of paying influencers flat fees, Tomer offered a revenue-share model, which aligned their incentives and turned them into long-term brand ambassadors who promoted the app organically beyond the initial paid posts.
