For those of you who have published, what do you think? Is the amount that you're making commensurate at all with the effort that you put in? Would you do it again/are you continuing to write more?
- ben1040 16y agoMy first iOS app (under my own name as opposed to a freelance job, of which I've done a couple) was approved a couple days into February, and I look to be on track to have made about $200 from it this month. I wrote it over a weekend when I most definitely would have otherwise been spending that time browsing HN or watching television. With that in mind I feel like I have still gotten a net positive value out of the time, because I'd rather have $200 and the satisfaction of having made something people wanted, as opposed to $0 and the feeling of uselessness after having burned a weekend loafing around.
