Start A Messaging App Business

Here are some real life success stories of starting a messaging app business:

1. Porterhouse ($24K/year)

Cecil, the Co-Founder of Porterhouse, came up with the idea for the business when his trainer needed a solution for sending daily motivational messages to his clients. Tired of copy-pasting the same text to each client, Cecil created Porterhouse to streamline the process and save time. With a simple value proposition and self-contained functionality, Porterhouse was launched in April 2019 and has since attracted customers ranging from professional sports teams to real estate agents.

How much they make: $24K/year

How We Built A Profitable Mass-Texting App [3.5x MRR Growth Since Last Year]
