unfortunately the data out there contradicts this..
1. For some reason people like to download apps for their mobile devices..some is social, etc.
2. While not getting rich, but several thousands per month is nothing to discount or ignore at this time.
3. Its not the idea, but people, execution, MARKETING, etc.
- ZaneClaes 15y ago1) Sure. But they want good apps that do something useful. So what's your point? 2) I can state for a fact that the vast majority of the apps do not make more than $100 per month, both from my own experience and talking to other developers and to large companies. Pareto's principle at work. 3) That's exactly what I said in the article...
- codebot 15y agoI think there is a big difference between a business paying an iOS developer $100-200 an hour to make an app and a software developer releasing an app in their spare time. I'm in the process of doing the latter. I've got an idea for an app which I believe is new and original and I hope I make more than $100 a month. Really, I'm hoping for 1000 sales a month in the first few months but that might be overly optimistic. I'd be fine with $100 a month though. Really, as long as I make $100-200 overall I will recoup my original investment and have learned a valuable professional skill. I think marketing is going to be a problem. Becoming lost in the appstore seems like it could be an issue.
