Even if you want to get those 20 users, maybe you need to go to the school physically, which can be weird for a 30-year-old to do that. Maybe you want to run a couple of ads, but it's very hard to target a specific audience like this.

It's now possible to even kickstart this strategy of virality.

But let's start with the ASO one. ASO, so Apple Search Optimization, is basically the art of being number one when people type a keyword in the App Store.

And there was some web products like 11 Labs, et cetera, but there were no products in the app store yet. And For some reason, people need an app to do that. For example, if you want to clone your own voice, it's easier to do it with a mobile phone than with a web product. So we created an app that does that. And it grew super quickly organically just with ASO and people searching for it.
