Is anyone making iOS games right now?

[oddball]

Thanks, I will check that out. Right now I'd say about 60% of my revenue comes from IAP's, the rest mostly from ads. I like IAP's because although I may have days of $0, I had a couple days last month for $70 alone from them. Not a lot but it all ads up. I'm working to get my apps to $1,000 a month, I think once I add once more that should be doable. Then I will work on building it to $2,500, and so on.

Like I said, I plan to add 10-15 in the 2014. I do all my calculations based on what I see as the worse case, 10 month break even point. Ideally, I want to see them payoff in 6 months. Reskinning seems to be around $1,000 depending on the app. I will just keep reinvesting the money back in to add more and more apps, hopefully it will be a cash cow sooner than later.
