I have several apps on the iOS app store. I make between $4000AUD - $9000AUD per month.
I quit my job 3 years ago to do it, so I guess it isn't really a side project any more. That said, it is a lonely way to make money and I am over it. My career was computers, and I'm pleased I've done the apps, I can achieve anything technical so it isn't a challenge any more and am looking at something more physical, hands on.
When I quit my job I was making approx $3 a day from apps, I learned a lot.
The great thing is that I can quit and the apps keep making money. It is trivial to keep them updated to the latest iOS version, design standard, or advertising API - I've just put Firebase Analytics and the latest Admob API in them all. Pleased with the iOS10 announcement today, it will not add burden to my apps, nor are they sherlocked like my first app was. My most recent app took me 10 days to make, it is fairly professional, I have one more I want to make it will take a similar amount of time. Every time I get asked a support question I answer it and also post the answer on a support website, this has cut down support enquiries to one every week or two.
On to the next thing!
- andyjdavis 10y agoNice work :) No matter what you do next that is certainly a very handy chunk of change to have coming in each month.
- altitudinous 10y agoThank you :)
- NKCSS 10y agoCare to post some links? Always nice to see some context.
- altitudinous 10y agoThanks for asking, but I'd like to retain my anonymity for now :) I also have enough competitors at the moment!
- gcheong 10y agoWell if you ever decide to write about what you've learned I'd certainly pay for that kind of knowledge!
- altitudinous 10y agoI may blog about it sometime.
- hipjiveguy 10y agoSo how many apps would this be?
- altitudinous 10y agoAbout a dozen
