Most iPhone App Developers Don't Make Money

Tech Startups 3.0 cites data Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation psp
from a small survey by UK-based game consultant Adam Martin that suggests most iPhone app developers don’t make much money.
“Martin surveyed 100 development teams, received 85 usable responses, and found that 52% of the developers had earned less than $15,000 for their efforts and 33% earned less than $250.”
While his data set is small, I support his sound advice to aspiring app makers — given the poor odds of making a lucrative living as an independent iPhone app developer, “don’t quit your day jobs.” It’s much better advice than the NY Times was peddling
a few months ago in its article “The iPhone Gold Ruch.”
