I wonder if most of the "Serious money" is made from subs, in app purchases, app purchases or ads.
Do lots of people with iPhones buy random apps and sub/pay in them?
I've always wondered if this was an interesting market to get into but the horror stories over the years have kept me from touching it - is it feasible for a relatively competent dev to break into this market without dark methods?
- mikepurvis 3y agoI think the real question for a lot who might consider it is whether it’s possible for a competent and honest dev to break in and make money. Someone who wants to provide meaningful value and experiences to smart users, as opposed to just landing whales.
- MyFirstSass 3y agoTrue, and i've clarified. I find the scamming extremely boring, but i'm also pretty surprised it's that lucrative. Then again thinking for a minute, ~1.6 billion working iPhones at any moment - that's an absolutely insane amount of buyers. Hadn't really thought about the sheer number, and it's actually really blowing my mind right now - wow! Anyone know how fierce the copying, noise etc. is for niche markets? This number alone is making me interested in looking at some old ideas.
