He’ll share how combining habit-forming design, contextual activation moments, and leveraging AI can turn installs into sustained subscribers — without blowing the budget on ads spend. If you’re building a subscription app, this episode shows you exactly what to do after the install to keep users hooked, engaged, and paying. You will discover: ✅ The growth formula nobody talks about — Retention + ARPU beats Acquisition ✅ How to turn installs into subscribers in the first 24 hours ✅ The habit-loop framework behind top 10% free-to-paid conversion rates ✅ How to show value before the paywall and prevent early churn ✅ How light AI insight amplifies retention Learn More: 📱Abide – Bible, Prayer, Meditation App https://apps.apple.com/us/app/abide-bible-prayer-meditation/id726031617?ppid=2719275d-ebab-4341-9fb6-5ea68b7ef8ae 💼 Connect with Michael on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rotella Get unlimited access to all of Abide’s meditations and bedtime stories.
