Bringing In $26.5 Million A Year From Our Photography Startup

[@AgentKain]

I used to hang out with Tessa and Cole back in the day and I'm not surprised she was able to find this level of success. Not only was she a talented photographer but also a very talented musician. Glad to see her hard work paid off!

[@EcomCarl]

Tessa and Cole's journey from collage kits to a multi-million dollar app is a testament to the power of pivoting and evolving with your audience's needs. For any entrepreneur, their story highlights the importance of building a community around your product early on. 🚀

[@remip3604]

Congrats Tezza and Cole! You’ve come such a long way!

[@oshayefarrare2819]

It's really cool that they grew up together from babies.

Creativity is the gateway to limitless possibilities. Amazing story and cool app! wow

[@BearingMySeoul]

How lovely to see gorgeous people with actual talents! 😆 Kudos to them on cracking the code for a product and niche where they can outperform the big players!

[@JenniferVuong]

Love their app! I continue going back to it and pay $5.99/month. Their filters are so much better than other apps. I’m definitely their target audience.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Are there a lot of apps out there? I've never heard of theirs. But I'm not really much of an instagram user. But doesn't instagram itself have good features now?

this guy could also throw his sox on the floor and expect her to pick it up for him. it's not likely, but ya never know ;)

[@tera_windon]

Comparison is the thief of joy. Especially since the video doesnt show their actual day-to-day life. Also, am I the only person that finds it unnerving that this joint project, that he put in all of the coding work for, is named solely after her. I'm a web designer and I've seen the work that out software developers do and HOLY MOLY

[@thisisdanni]

​@@tera_windon agree that engineering is a lot of work (I'm in tech also) but she had already put in a lot of time and effort to build up and nurture an online community who is the user base for the app, not to mention making the photo presets etc which is the core product

[@rf8221]

Wow, never heard of them until today. I'm not a fan of all the fake film border filters but whatever works for you. Good for them.

[@tiredtechie]

Im an app developer and love this story. The idea is always the hardest but they had a strong following for users before launching which is hard to achieve

[@RHCPsTv]

You are probably the only app developer I see saying that the idea is the hardest. Most people say ideas are nothing without execution - which is very true, but that leaves out a lot of very important aspects and ignores how crucial for a business is finding the right idea.

[@farahnazphotography]

In my opinion it’s not photography income. That’s photo editing software that all copy paste of lightroom and premier pro with some small changes. It was good idea to make money from that app instead of photography…

[@JoshWilliams-mf9fc]

Just downloaded the app. User interface is terrible. I have no idea where to go or what to click. At least have an on boarding tutorial.

[@Annii_Oakley_]

The world needed their creative eye. I look back at my instagram edits, they were amazing. None of those filters are available anymore… I’m so happy I found this…

[@ABc-nu6jb]

Especially this much money. $26millions per year seems a lot for this app.

[@pat4005]

@@ABc-nu6jbNot at all. It's free for the basic editing tools, then a purchase-in-app fee for more filters and features. They offer 2 other levels of features that users are charged monthly for a small fee. The apps are offered world-wide and since there are millions upon millions of iPhone users, out of those the small number of users by comparison that would need to subscribe monthly to equal that figure is not surprising.

The whole has negative money but had jobs??, built the app between 10pm to 3am. It was only a side project. Just be honest ! I doubt the above

[@tnijoo5109]

Living in NYC is expensive.

[@pat4005]

They said they had occasional negative money in their bank account. It happens. They did not say they were living in the negative every day! Also, they did not d]say they built the app in one day between 10pm and 3am. 🤪 They built it over many months with lots of trial and error and testing. Those were the hours they could squeeze in together when working on it due to whatever day jobs they had. And any "side project" can turn into the big or consistent money-maker. You just don't know. They prob thought ot would sit in the app store and bring in just enough extra to make life a little easier. They didn't know that it would do so well. But they took success and ran with it, and kept improving the app to satisfy their customers. I believe it. In business, even a side hustle can become a big money-maker, and the well-planned thing you may lime the best, may not catch-on.
