New account because I don't want my employers knowing. My sideproject on iOS and Android generates 1.1M a year. About 90-100k a month. I'm still employed because the app runs on its own, very low maintenance, so might as well get a salary doing something else and learn new things
My question is how do you still have employers when you're making 1.1M a year. Jeez.
A buddy and I started https://goatattack.com last year. It doesn't generate a ton of revenue but we enjoy it and people seem to like it. It runs itself at this point.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
So like $350,000/yr after the 30% cut from the app stores, and additional 40% cut from state and federal taxes? yeah I'd keep my job too and look forward to those sweet tax deductions and getting all that extra social security withholding back
Where do you live that $350,000/yr isn't enough to live on?
naaaaaaaaaaaah
anyway, in silicon valley (or san francisco in particular) you could not retire on that. you could coast, but you couldn't use it to buy a house (or apartment/condo), the moment you make a downpayment you absolutely have to keep working to make the monthly payments

I'm having a hard time understand the point of this comment. Are you saying this is not enough money to live?
the comment broke down the parent comment's earnings in a way this thread wasn't currently pointing out.
It's been steadily increasing in sales volume to the point where my wife has cut some hours from her regular job to be able to keep up.
As she does all the real work (sewing) I've been able to focus on fun stuff like automating all the payment handling, bookkeeping, shipping etc.

I think the commenters are jumping to conclusion that OPs profit = 1.1M - 100k. Most of these apps have a big running cost and the profit is not so much as one imagines. Otherwise, OP won't be gainfully employed.

Wow, congrats. Are you getting those numbers from selling new copies or through a subscription?

How do you have something like that going and remain anonymous? Is your name not attached to the product in any way?
