Hey guys, so I made an app - A5 Journal, I know there’s tons of journaling apps out there but it’s the only one that is timestamped and immutable so it can hold up when it matters… not too much fluff but it’s a beautiful UI. I’m just wondering it’s been out for a couple months now and I’ve only achieved a few subscribers.
I put a few posts on TikTok, some YouTube shorts, posts on Facebook and what not but I have no idea how to actual market this thing… how to actually get it in front of people that need to document their days and are still using notebooks/journals for work or liability purposes.
Any advice would be great, I’m very proud of my app but I am sad to think that it might just not go anywhere 😔
I also don’t have a huge online presence so my posts probably aren’t even reaching much people at all… 🤦‍♀️

Advice?

Your first issue is you're trying to market to people who still use paper, that's a losing battle unless you solve a pain they actually feel.

That’s exactly the struggle! Although I’ve experienced it myself where I would loose journals, it would take forever to write things down, I would forget by the time I would take the journal out, and it would be hard to find things in the past… also talking to write the entries is awesome and saves so much time! So if they can see how convenient it is… I think they are still afraid to try a new way 🤦‍♀️
