It really depends on the app. I made about $35k last month with about $100 hosting expenses and maybe $500 paypal fees (which I've managed to reduce to a bare minimum by using TransferWise as much as possible). But it's taken over 20 years to get to that point (and my recurring revenue is a fair amount less than that...I had a large one-off source of revenue this month).
Having said that I've tried various other ventures over the years, but haven't managed to get anything else to make any traction at all. So I realise I'm actually very lucky (in addition to being persistent and building a product that works well).
The best advice I can give is to listen to what customers want.
- giantg2 5y agoYep. I ended up just leaving my apps as free because they don't make anything really. They are useful, but kind of niche, so the user base is small. I have an idea for another app, but I'd have to teach myself some new skills and find the time to build it. It would probably be a $250k-500k idea tops, but that's also niche. Not to mention it would require some physical hardware too. [Angrily shakes fist at sky] damn real job getting in the way of everything... $35k in a month is a lot. Even if you make that normally over the course of a year, that's awesome.
