Connor Burd - This 23 Yr Old Genius Makes $1M/Year with No-Code Apps. Here's How

Connor Burd is 23 years old and makes over $1M a year building apps. His main app, Payout, does $45,000 a month—almost entirely from influencers. But here's the twist: he doesn't pay them to post. He gives them equity and builds the app for their audience before writing a single line of code.

In this episode of The Superwall Podcast, Joseph breaks down Connor's entire playbook: how to actually reach influencers (hint: not DMs), the Figma mockup strategy that wins partnerships, and why equity deals beat paid promotions when you're starting out.

Here's what you'll learn:

• How Connor's partner Casper drove 35,000+ clicks with ManyChat integration
• The email outreach method that gets influencer responses (find their YouTube email)
• Why building apps in niche markets beats competing with unicorns
• The "highest leverage activity" mindset that scaled Connor from $0 to $1M ARR

Whether you're validating your first app idea or struggling with distribution, this episode shows you exactly how to flip the traditional model and partner with influencers who actually care about your success.
