I make ~$2,000 a month with an iPad game for cats. My co-founder and I were working on a "more serious" game and it was taking a long time. We needed a quick win, so I agreed to do it if we spent less than 4 weeks on it. We completed the game from idea to app store in 3.5 weeks and it is now, by far, our most popular game. * face palm * EDIT: We split the revenue 50/50, so the revenue (after apple's cut) on this game…

I would love to hear more about this as well. How do you advertise? Do you just have the one free tutorial and the two paid tutorials (also sold as a bundle), or do you have others that I'm not seeing?
I generate about $1000/mo from an iPad app I wrote (that I haven't updated in a long, long time) and then between $5-10k from iPhone user interface design/development tutorials that I sell.
This is awesome, just what I needed. I can see how it's making so much money for you. I'm curious, what do you do for traffic? Just SEO?
Are you referring to business income/revenue or personal income from those businesses? Of the 4 businesses I've founded or co-founded (BIG Folio, APF, NextProof, and 2 Tablespoons), the first two generate approximately half of their revenue from recurring fees (we also have setup fees). That adds up to high 5-figures per month for each (more in a good month). Of course, they both have the highest overhead in terms of…
How do you acquire NextProof users? 5-10 hours a week is great for a website that generates 5 figures a month. I would love to hear more about this - do you blog?
I blog infrequently but mostly about Rails or iOS stuff. I don't blog much about startups/business. Only a few people do it well IMO and I'd rather spend my free time with my family–not blogging.

looks like you've got some competition -> http://gamesforcats.com/
Now just this week they release this game, same idea, almost same domain. (I would guess the reason they didn't use the domain gameforcats.com is because I also own that domain.)
Folks say I should contact an IP lawyer, but I'm not sure I a) want to go up against big-corp (who will just claim they came up with it independently) or b) believe in that sort of thing.
Any advice?

True story: I emailed friskies about this in November last year. I sent them a video of our game and asked if they wanted to work together. I had a few phone calls with them and they told us they loved the idea. Then one day: silence. They wouldn't return my calls or emails. Now just this week they release this game, same idea, almost same domain. (I would guess the reason they didn't use the domain gameforcats.com i…

I do most of my volume through e-book reader sales like kindle. A lot of people do this whole "launch formula" thing with e-books, but I've never tried that, I just pick topics that gets decent google juice and let organic search bring in people to the sales site. I also pick topics that aren't covered, or at least not well cover, on amazon and the like.
I have seen the typical affiliate style 'how to make $100 a day on autopilot from adsense' e books around for a while and sold via click bank and the like. I take it yours are more mainstream? Are you then saying that your sales channel is Amazon and selling PDF/kindle books. Any examples your willing to give of one of your titles?

I've recently started working on a book that I intend to sell via Kindle. Any gotchas, pointers, things-you-wish-you-had-known and etc will highly be appreciated?
