As someone who's downloaded SCOtutor apps I can see his frustration. The SCOtutor apps are really well put together and great tutorials.
Rather than moan about Apple lets look at what he can do.
The author has a collection of extremely high quality content. He's already taken the effort to turn this into chapters. With a bit more effort he should be able to turn this into a pretty good site. If you look at his actual site[1] you'll see he already has this. But lets put some patio11 thinking onto this.
He has a lot of chaptered content that would be really useful to new users. So for each class of content he could create a new site, have a couple of chapters available and the rest behind a paywall, charging per chapter or for the whole thing. He can monetize the content with adverts (for the open areas) and Youtube's partner program. Personally if I were him I'd upload my open videos to Vimeo which provides better quality (IMHO, I could be wrong) and to YouTube and monetize the Youtube content (along with links to his specific websites for further tutorials).
He can further monetize by using affiliate links from organisations such as Amazon for accessories for the things he's talking about. For example, a video on how to turn smart cover support on and off could be augmented with an affiliate link in the page to smart covers sold on Amazon. It doesn't have to be spammy or overdone.
New versions of iOS and OS X come out on a fairly regular basis. He knows the release dates in advance. As the new release date gets closer he can open up more of the older chapters as he sees fit and then release the new course when the new version comes out.
Finally the author might want to look at bundle deal sites. There's tons of them for Mac and the most popular ones tend to get around. If he can get his tutors bundled with something that people would buy on it's own then he's more likely to see more sales.
