Sorry if this is nosey, but I’m just curious. 
How many people who have had apps approved and put on the app store have broken even (in terms of $99 Apple fee and $199 Corona fee)?
In other words, who has made $298 or more? My first app is nearly ready and I’m deciding whether it’s work forking out $300.

This isn’t too nosy, I don’t think - it isn’t like you are asking how much everyone earns, just if they’ve broken even.
I have several very small, simple apps on the store and a few slightly larger (but not large) ones and I would say that although there are no guarantees, you are VERY likely to break even - especially if your app is good.
$300 to have an app on the store is also somewhat of an investment beyond the monetary returns; you can call yourself a professional app developer as soon as you get your first sale, that’s pretty cool.
Anyway; I’d encourage you to go for it - you will most likely break even from your first app and then every dollar after that is pure profit [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 8497 reply_id: 30586[/import]
