Here’s the blog of two guys who have jumped onto the iPhone Apps bandwagon. Whats interesting is that they have absolutely no experience in development. They outsource most of their work.
The fantastic part (that you can learn a lot from) is that they are documenting their entire experience online – how they came up with the app idea, creation of the app, publishing it, marketing it, tracking sales and revenues generated, making a lite version etc.
You get to see everything from start to finish about each app they release. They give you some great insights and revenue figures for the apps they publish. This is one blog you want to visit – if you have never published an app before and want to get some very good tips and insights on what to expect.
Currently, they’re averaging around $2000 per month with the apps they have released (around 3 to 4 only, from what I can see). Which is pretty impressive and very encouraging for all indie developers!
Here’s a note from their homepage –
Our names are Pat Flynn and Quoc Bui. We’ve been friends since middle school and have recently decided to put our creative heads together in the iPhone application world. The catch is, we are not developers. We really have no experience with working on iPhone applications whatsoever.
Think of the work we do as an experiment. We outsource all of the work for our application ideas and we submit them to the iTunes Store, just to see what happens.
We’ll be documenting our progress, our marketing campaigns, and our income (if any).We’re hoping to be successful, and show you that anyone, even those who are not familiar with iPhone app development (like us), can succeed if you put in the time, effort and a little bit of money.
Visit Pat and Quoc on their blog at Loler Apps! There’s tons of stuff you can learn from them – that many companies and indie developers won’t tell you!
