Yeah, that's really the bottom line. Good stuff just finds it's way to the top. Even good fart apps, or moron tests, or funny novelty camera effect utils.
You can't polish a tur- umm bad idea. But you can polish a decent idea or a quick, good idea into a performer. People are making a living on the app store (some a really good living) and they don't even chart.
Wasn't there a guy doing a gardening app that was making 6 figures on his own just by word-of-mouth? I don't think he charted except perhaps in his category. I forgot his blog or app name but he sold in-app purchases to re-energize his sales.
- nicpottier 16y agoNo I think you are simplifying it a bit. Just because all the stuff making money is good (well not all, but most) does not mean all good stuff makes money. There are some really fantastic apps and games where people are making nothing at all. The problem is it is too binary as it is, it just isn't very predictable. All the random articles you see on the web of people making good money ignores the thousands upon thousands of people who aren't.
