Just an update for you branchr.com the guy your talking about Christian owens was done for fraud. For not paying the people. And the apps he didn't make $1m profit they didn't take of tax or anything and the guy is a fraud be aware
Branchr.com approached me to make the apis for there clients wanting mobile ads

Sucks that his branchr.com website had to close down because of fraud advertisers. Wish him all the best with his future start ups!

Atta boy! Thats what I call persistence. All successful entrepreneurs are persistent and never give up easily. This kid is a prime example.

Hi all,

I can't find a link to the original news story nor an active link to the website - can anyone help me out?

Best,

Andrew

I have a question. How can he make such a profit selling his apps at a 90% loss?

With software, it takes a few months to write then that's it. Then all he has to do is copy it to CDs or make it into a download file. How much do CD's cost? About 20p each? How much does a download file cost to make? £0. So that software is priced at £400, so they are practically making £400, he could sell it at £5 if he wanted, but makes less money.
