In this episode, I break down a simple but powerful morning routine app that's making nearly $1M a year, without running paid ads, and share my own morning routine!

You'll learn:

✅ How Routinery ranks #1 for “morning routine”

✅ What’s working in its onboarding & paywall strategy

✅ Monetization tactics that drive conversions fast

✅ The one growth strategy that most devs ignore

✅ My personal morning routine & productivity boost formula

If you're building a habit tracker, productivity app, or trying to monetize without ads, this teardown gives you the exact roadmap.

Plus, I shared a powerful tip on how to monetize users who may never subscribe—and turn that into real revenue.
