If you want an income, develop iOS apps.
OK, but now we're far away from just pursuing passion. Now it's do some work for the money so you can afford to do the things you really care about. Which is fine. I suspect that's how it works for most people.
I'm curious, though, how _you_ managed to achieve a successful business. Did you have to work on things you didn't care about in order to fund what ultimately became a self-sustaining company?
Did you manage to create a successful product by imagining the problems of others and offering a solution?
Do you have recurring revenue, or is it one-time sales of a product?
- rfnslyr 13y agoI made money through a lot of sketchy black hat SEO endeavors. Things like content farms, making specific product pages from Amazon categories and working off referrals. Affiliate marketing. Legitimate SEO work. All of that shit crashed. It was too much to maintain, but it was fun while it lasted. Right now I saved up money from my job, quit it, and I'm working on my business. I live off of $600/mo total. $350 for tiny room in a place with roommates, $150 for food, rest for transportation. I have not achieved anything remotely close to a successful business. If I ever need money for rent or food, I'll do a freelance gig or two. It's shitty, but we're all going to make it brah.
