Very few apps do make $8,700 (but those that do, often make far more)
is that true? i would have thought it's a power law. in which case it would be more correct to say "Very few apps do make $8,700 (and of those that do, few make far more)" since with a power law distribution, no matter what level you pick, the extremes are still extremes (if you see what i mean - the 1% have their own 1% who are the crazy rich part of the crazy rich...)
so does anyone have any numbers?
[it strikes me that, depressingly, you could summarize this as: no matter how good you are, getting an order of magnitude better is still hard.]
