Is the App Store totally saturated ? Is it even possible to be a low budget solo indie developer anymore?
I spent a huge amount of time and money in learning and developing an app... it is now live in the App Store and I'm finding it hard to get an audience... I've blown my budget on a weekend of Facebook and Twitter and I got around 80-90 downloads and 25 cent in ad revenue...
I was starting to work on App2 - but now I am wondering if it is going to be worth the thousands of hours of work it takes... If no one ever downloads it, what is the point ?
I contacted a couple of self professed indie game marketing agencies... they wanted thousands of $$$ and promised nothing. I don't have thousands or even hundreds to spend on marketing.
The big question - did I waste my time? Is it just not possible to get an audience without sinking $10k into marketing ?
Indie app devs... what do you think?
