You don't need to build a big app with lots of features to make money. That's the wrong lens to look at it through. You need to build an app that solves a big problem. People pay you based on what solving that problem is worth to them. In Patrick's case, BCC solves a problem that is worth more than $30 to his customers. It turns out, making bingo cards by hand is a pain in the butt. You asked for some other examples: - http://audiomixology.com/ http://audiomixology.com/ - The problem is "I want to learn to be a bartender". The perceived cost is the cost of bartending school, which is hundreds of dollars. This site has rotted since I first spotted it, but I think the price was $79. And the product was basically a set of mp3s with mnemonics to remember drink recipes, an iphone app that present those same menomics (and maybe a flash card system), and a couple ebooks. This guy was definitely making money and had written a few blog posts about his process of developing Audio Mixology on http://muselife.com http://muselife.com though I can no longer find them... - http://onswipe.com http://onswipe.com - these guys have gotten funding and a lot of press recently. However, I think they started as pretty much just a wordpress plugin that made your wordpress site look better on an ipad. And if that isn't what their mvp was, it still sounds like a legitimate mvp to me:)
