Looksmaxxing App (Exploiting Men's Beauty)
Women's Beauty has been exploited for centuries through Cosmetics and Surgeries.
Its time for men.
Korea was ahead of its time when it comes to Cosmetics for men.
Watch any K-Drama and you'll see the 40-year old men in Korea look like they are in their 20s.
Anyways, one app catapulted on the App Store with a Looksmaxxing App.
The app is called Umax - Become Hot.
UMax - Become Hot on Apple's App Store
The app is pretty simple.
It rates your attractiveness based on selfies and provides a "potential" score along with recommendations to improve looks.
Analyzes jawline, masculinity, grooming, skin quality, hair etc from selfies using AI
Gives an "overall" attractiveness score out of 100 and compares you to others
Provides a higher "potential" score and sells products/routines to reach that potential
The products they sell are affiliate links to Amazon.
App uses AI to analyze your selfies and gives you a rating but tells you that you have a high potential so you keep using the app.
It charges a weekly subscription and a monthly subscription.
$4 per week is cheap but if you continue to use it or forget it, it automatically rolls over.
UMax In App Purchases
Most pricing optimizations are around making you forget that you ever had a subscription to it. There's an entire subreddit dedicated to Dark Patterns but you can't deny their effectiveness.
This is totally legal btw but some apps and websites use Deceptive Designs.
Huge viral potential in making a clone of this app, doing App Store Optimization (ASO), pouring ads, and making a killing from it.
There is only 1 person behind this app as you can see on the About page.
UMax About
He makes approximately $6 million from this app.
Look at the ratings. It has 19.2k ratings with 4.6 stars and #22 in Lifestyle category.
I'm sure Apple will feature it soon or has already done so.
The trend of Men Looksmaxxing is will continue to rise. We are early.
World's Cheapest Tool to access GPT-4, Midjourney, and More
Global GPT is the World's Cheapest tool to access GPT-4, Midjourney, and More.
You can start from as cheap as $1 and pay as you go.
But for just $1, you get all these things:
200+ GPT-4 General Conversations
80+ GPT-4 Letters or Articles
50+ Articles Interpretations and Analyses
20+ DALL.E 3 Images
130Min+ of Audio Transcription
40k+ Words of Text to Spoken Audio
Definitely a cool tool to use if you are short on money.
There is no reason not to use GPT-4 to save time. See how I use ChatGPT to save time watching 1-hour long YouTube videos and get a simple summary without losing the gist of the video.
One recommended video on Perspective Shifts aka Framing
Perspective Shifts aka Framing is an underrated skill.
One you learn Framing, you'll understand more people, you'll solve more problems, you'll be able to deal with haters and you'll have enough patience.
Most problems are not problems. They are just obstacles.
Good frames helps you learn the difference between the two.
This video dives deep into frames. I love the frame of the veteran.
If you are short on time, try using Claude to transcribe the video into a 2-minutes summary.

Spying tools and Reverse-engineering tools are useful. And useful products never die.
Humans are memetic creatures. We love to see what others are doing and copy it ourselves.
Spying tools allow us to get useful information in minutes.
Massive opportunities in this space.

Startup of the day
Bytebot AI is a startup that uses AI to start web scraping so you can use Natural Language.

Earlier, only programmers could build database products but now marketers can too.
The only limit is your imagination.
Marketers often need influencers to work with but they either have to subscribe to a Influencer Marketing Platform or ask Programmers on their team to scrape influencer with certain parameters.
This makes them build custom scrapers like TokFinder.
Tokfinder
Best part? Marketers can now sell their own database wrappers like TokFinder which sells for $497 one-time fee.
Until next time,
