DISQUS

I wouldn't have said it harsher...

Dude, if you're not doing PPC, you're missing out on the biggest piece of the pie. You won't make any money at all if you only rely on organic search to drive traffic. Without PPC, I'd still have to work for the man to pay the bills...

Congrats! It's always exciting to make your first sales on a product.

While I never had this issue, I want to thank you for pointing us to this website. I've been looking for a similar site for a while but somehow never found anything reliable. I tested my main site on Browser Shots and realized that my site rendered terribly on some browsers, but who cares about Opera 1995?? Not me. Anyways. Thanks for the good info

Yes, you're right!
I'm selling 2 ebooks on CB. Health related stuff (sells better than business stuff!). I have been supposed to work on a new one for the last 3 months but I'm too lazy now and I don't see any rush since I'm already making more than I was in my last job... Anyways. Keep up the good job. I subscibed to your feed and I am following you on Twitter. Let's keep in touch!

One of them is doing great! Iget a paycheck of about $1400 every week from it (actually direct deposit) but I do spend about $500 in PPC on it. With the other product, I make about $200/week and spend maybe $30-$40 on PPC. It allowed me to quit my job, so that's a big plus!!! I think I'm gonna do like you and start writing about what I do and how I do it. Some people might be interested in that...

It's not too bad. I already sell 2 ebooks on CB and I give my affiliates a 50% commission. I'm gonna look into this Amazon Kindle thing, that might be another way to generate more sales. I wish we could sell the ebooks on Amazon for people to download (not Kindle), THAT would help us generate more revenues quickly I think.

How much does Amazon take per sale? Is it a fixed percentage?

I kind of agree. Two things though:

1. Nothing is uncrackable. So if someone can code an app that cannot be cracked today, I bet you that by tomorrow it will be available on the Pirate Bay.

2. I don't think the future is in free apps. I do believe there will be more and more ad supported apps but free will never rule the app market. Do you really think that EA Games spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in game dev to make it available for free? Nope.

A good compromise, which should have been implemented since the beginning, is to give the devs the opportunity to offer a free trial of their apps. I am NOT talking about an additional app that you will call "xyz lite", I am talking about the full on app, with limited features.

I personally never buy an app without trying it first on Appulous. Why? Simply because most apps are crap! Out of the maybe 100 apps I downloaded and tried thanks to Appulous, I ended up buying maybe 20 because the 80 remaining were just not good. If I had been able to try them "legally", I wouldn't have bought them either, but at least I wouldn't have been supporting the black market.

That was just my 2 cents.

Please keep us the good work. 60% of iPhone users are backing you up ;-)

This app is not available in the app store yet. Well, at least i can't find it... Besides, I want my email in the Mail.app, not in another app. I want to be able to check all my emails from one app only (mail.app). It seems like a nice app though. I'm surprised it made it to the app store as it totally replicated the mail.app functionality, which is against Apple's iphone SDK.

Thank you for your reply. I already have about 10 folders (work, surf, iphone, family, etc...) so I shouldn't have any problem. I am currently using izymail which works great. The only problem I have with izymail is that my sent emails from iPhone sometimes end up in the spam folder of the recipient. I don't htink i would have this issue with Hotmail Plus.

Hello Lora,

What if I have 5 or 6 emails in my inbox, do I still need to create a new folder? I usually keep my inbox clean and move/delete emails as they come.

Let me know.

Thank you

Hey Jesse,
I posted a pretty good review of i.TV on my blog (http://www.iphonedownloadblog.com/finally-a-goo...) and Justin W actually read it and commented on it. Anyways.
I'm curious, how do you guys make money?
Where should I send me "new features requests"?? The email alert is cool but what would be better is to send the email 10-15 minutes before the show starts!
Let me know.
thanks
Sebastien

While I agree with the general idea of your post (back up back up back up), I would like to highlight the fact it might not be always easy to cross pollinate your network. If I have a follower on Twitter, in most cases, his profile will not list much contact info (no linkedin, no name, no email address), making it harder to add the new follower to other social services (like facebook).

Besides, do you really want/have time to add a new follower to your 55 social network profiles. I don't. I'm sure you don't have time for that either.

But again, I agree that you have to back up data as much as you can. Losing followers on Twitter might not be life threatening. Losing contacts in your SalesForce account is a different story.

On a side note, when is the last time a major website like Twitter (is it a major website anyway? It looks like one but I don't think they behave like one) lost its users' data??

OMG, someone who knows about Etienne De Crecy here in the US. I like that! Good blog by the way. We've got very similar music tastes

Have you seen any other movie with her? This is the only movie where Marion Cotillard played well.
