Working on an app, still in the build and validate phase.
Everywhere online I keep seeing posts about how little apps make and how impossible it is - I’m rethinking putting all this time into this.
Can you make money with an app nowadays?? I was thinking I’d hopefully carve myself out a solid income, ideally 5-10k if I do it right, but now I’m thinking I’ll be lucky to get $500/mo
It’s all about finding your niche. I built an Orchidometer app for iPhone and it provides me with a decent income while helping men around the world. The most important thing is to release fast and then scale and improve.
My app is not perfect, but it’s still helping people. Now that I’ve released it, I can use my code to develop similar apps. So some tips for you:
Beware of feature creep. Release it as fast as you can. Keep improving along the way.
Keep monetization in mind. How are you going to generate revenue?
If it doesn’t work, abandon the idea and start over with something new.
If you fail, do it hard and fast. Then start over again.
