Evan Yadegari scaled his app Locked to over $14,000 a month at 14 years old. Then he built 10x, a Shopify for apps, and hit $30K ARR in its first 30 days.

In this episode of The Superwall Podcast, Evan walks Joseph through the exact influencer playbook behind Locked's growth:

  • Testing Reddit, X, paid ads, and influencers before going all in on the winner
  • Sending 500 DMs a day across verified accounts with 1,000+ followers
  • The "Paid promo" opener that cuts through flooded inboxes
  • Four deal structures, including his favorite: the minimum view clause
  • Keeping CPMs at $1 to $2 while RPM runs $3 to $4
  • One video that drove 1M views, $3,000, and his first 10,000 download day
  • Vetting creators by engagement, not follower count
