Behind this somewhat catchy title, I wanted to talk about money in developing applications for iPhone.
Apple has certainly been the best idea of the time by inventing the App Store, this online store for applications. With this, anyone with some knowledge of development and a bit of creativity, can become rich, very rich. I propose you to learn more about these developers from their computers have the opportunity to earn income 6 digits with a commercial application on the App Store.
Ge Wang
A year ago, Ge Wang was a mere assistant in the music department at Stanford University. Today at 31 years old, weighs several hundred thousand dollars. How did it get here? He simply developed with the help of some colleagues, 4 applications for the App Store at a price of $ 1 coin. An app that allows you to change his voice to simulate a wood fire, a flashlight and the huge success: Ocarina. This application turns the iPhone into Ocarina, a musical instrument wind.
Launched in November, Ocarina has already attracted over 400,000 customers. With its 4 applications, Wang has collected nearly a million dollars. Smule, the name of his company, has made the right choice in putting the application to a floor price to attract as many people as possible. Better to sell 400,000 licenses at $ 1 10,000 $ 5, right?
Brian Greenstone
Greenstone, 41, owns a small company based in Texas that specializes in developing applications for iPhone, the most famous are Cro-Mag Rally and Enigmo. It develops for Macintosh for 21 years and describes the App Store as a gold rush, as if it had won the lottery.
This year, in just over 4 months, he pocketed $ 5 million with no applications ie much more than from the inception of his company in 1987. So much money he has completely abandoned development in Mac to devote themselves to the iPhone. According to him, these applications are easy to create and take much less time.
Steve Demeter
Steve, 30 years, has developed a game for iPhone called lockjaw during his spare time, working nights and weekends. Today, thanks to its comfortable income, he resigned from his position as developer for the Wells Fargo Bank and founded his own company.
At the end of September, he had already garnered more than $ 250,000 … It is now full-time developer and has even hired 5 additional engineers to expand its product line for iPhone.
Is this a remake of the American dream? One thing is certain, it is time to exit the programming manuals …
