Wait, you just said you'd pay $120, so how are they tricking you into a price you DON'T want to pay? Do you think its a bad practice because it increases the conversion rate, or because it might convince people to buy something they can't a

On the equity division issue, if its bothering you, then you need to let him know that and negotiate a compromise. If you can't do compromise on that issue, you probably won't be able to compromise on much, and thats a bad recipe for starti

I think the price of obtaining limited liability is so low these days it doesn't make sense not to do it. It also seems obtaining limited liability would go hand in hand with putting your agreement in writing, so I'm failing to see your pot

So you just never expected it to get this complicated and you didn't plan for it? Are you looking for help on how to fix it, or how to approach your client and let them know that its become unworkable?

Are they expanding the requirements and still expecting to only pay for the original, or is this a case of they were happy to pay, you just didn't expect it and now the programming is a mess, and now when they expect to pay for a little cha

You've created a lot of these search things haven't you? What are you planning to do with them all? Any plan on trying to monetize, or are they all just projects for fun?

I mean shops that develop professionally for the iPhone, or developers that want to port something else that they've done. If you put all this time into something only to have it banned, well, thats too big a risk when you need a return to

I agree. What's really bothering me is the lack of guidelines. Its fine if you clearly delineate what won't be allowed, and developers just have to live with that. But making it up as you go along is just bad business. "I am Rich" might hav

This is always a tricky questions, because some companies do have a habit of stealing ideas. But at the same time, its not like people go out of their way to steal. I'm sure if your work can save them time and money and its not overly expen

I would strongly recommend building a side project while you work on finding your jobs. Clients are impressed when they see what you can actually do rather than just what you say you can do. Not to mention a side project would not have the

Hey pedalpete, thanks for that great thought-out and detailed reply, thats really awesome. I've been thinking about the idea for a while, because I've noticed a lot of dissatisfaction with the App Store's reviews, and I've identified a lot

In my case its a iPhone app review site, but I'm sure others would be interested in learning more general information as well. Just from initial thoughts, potential advertisers would be mainstream iPhone publishers, smaller iPhone developer

NetConcepts case studies page: http://www.netconcepts.com/tag/case-studies . I've found it to be the best site out there to learn what needs to be done without coming across as an infomercial, which a lot of SEO sites annoying do.

I'm guessing some people need to justify expensive purchases by saying they are in fact getting more for their money besides just the cool factor. Me? I would pay for the design and operating system, so I'm happy to pay more for a mac.

Wow. Thats all I can say. Wow. That one page has to break the record for the most marketing nonsense gobbledygook I have ever seen gathered in one location. Its worse than a real estate infomercial. Its the epitome of selling something with

Um, there's no limit to what your revenue model can be. Basically, it can be anything you want that's legal. Seriously, don't limit yourself, study all the ways to make money and find a combination that works. Advertising and subscriptions
