This is a good story. I'm facing the same experiences with a small web app I did (tool for travel agents). I currently have just Google ads but now it's at least paying the servers.

The interesting is that every business is different to growth. I really tried a lot of strategies and the only one that have really worked well was the cold email I sent for potential customers. This to me seems really annoying to do because it's almost like spam I think, but when you really knows your "personas" and you have a good product to them, they answer you with a big Thanks and you feels good, like doing a favor.

There is a very thin line that separates the spam and the mail marketing.

Another thing I learn is that users don't help you, very difficult to someone answer you when you ask feedbacks. They only answer you when they think they will gain something valuable in change. Same behavior in all countries I tested.

My biggest dream is my App give me enough profit to I get out of my regular job and work on this full time. Storemapper is really a inspirational and motivational case to me. Thanks for sharing.
