I've got seven apps on the App Store, and combined they usually don't even bring in $200/mo. Discouraging.
I'd be interested to hear how you marketed the app. Just building an app seems to be only half (or less) of the battle these days, as far as App Store success goes. I've got seven apps on the App Store, and combined they usually don't even bring in $200/mo. Discouraging.
I started with an app niche that I knew people were already searching for. And I knew that because there were crappy Spanish Bible apps already making money in the App Store.
Since then I have started collecting users' email addresses which helps with promotions and new app launches, but initially all my traction was through search.
I'm sure you'll make it clear in later posts, but are you a developer?
I was actually really excited by the "...you can get the next 9 posts delivered to your email by signing up here:" at the bottom. I like it. I like email, because I can read it anywhere and filter it any way I want. I dislike unsubscribing from email updates about as much as I dislike getting updates I'll never read.

Sounds like any successful business I've ever heard of. Find a niche with an unsatisfied need, then grow organically. Good for you.
