Once I got the process down, it took me about 50 mins per app (50 mins for both the free and full versions combined).
I decided to do a blog post highlighting lessons learned from the time I spent. Thanks to those who helped out with pointing me in the right direction for certain info. You can read how to do it from start to finish and how to hopefully get your developer fee waived here:
Congratulations Scott! Great job!! Would you be interested in talking about your experience on a Corona Geek Hangout? We host a Google+ Hangout every Monday at 12pm PT. If you are interested email charles at coronalabs.com to discuss details.
@thatssopanda - Good question that most are wondering I am sure :) It is definitely too early to tell if it will have been worth my time (all apps have been up and searchable for less than a week) and I definitely wasn’t expecting much (Im an individual developer so I dont need too much for it to be worth my time). I have been getting a couple sales a day as of these past few days reported. Also downloads are still moving upward as some of my apps are becoming more searchable. After a couple weeks Ill know a bit better and will do some experimenting with ASO. At the least it is cool to see my creations on a new device and it really did not take me that much time (I’d say about 30 hrs in total including doing all the apps, learning how to do it with the documentation, and trouble shooting).
