Launch time is important. I launched Jetpack Hero and got it in the newest released games just before apple froze the iTunes Store and for a few days it made over $60 a day. Now it makes next to nothing. My biggest money maker is Laser Maze which gets me $1-3 a day and is my worst game by far with horrible graphics. Who really knows what people will like? I personally think Angry Birds isn't very good and is just a duplicate of Crush the Castle.
I highly recommend using iAds in your lite games. Personally I cannot wait to have in app purchases. The business model will be free with ads and in app purchases. And if you want to remove the ads you get the ad free version.
Hey mammoth, I checked out your website and it is pretty awesome. I noticed that you had a section called audio solutions. I am soon going to make a trailer for my latest app. What would it cost for you to make a song for it?
I was looking at the poll and saw that 2 people have made $ 50+ to those people that have made this how did you go about doing this and what are some of your games that have generated a lot of money?
Our one app (actually 2 since we have the lite as a paid app right now) Balloon Animals 3D wasn't made in GameSalad, but it does between $10 and $30 a day between the two versions. The best day was $48 on Christmas. Cool thing is its never had a day (except when it was free) since it came out last July where it didn't sell at least one copy.
Our new app is Dollar Origami 3D and we are hoping for a bit better revenue when it comes out towards the middle of this week. That app has In App Purchases and iAds.
