Indie App Business Insights – Charlie Monroe
Charlie Monroe shares advice on starting an indie app business based on personal experience. Key points include:
- Patience and Realism: Success often takes time; initial apps may fail. Start small and improve based on feedback.
- Employment Consideration: Full-time jobs can hinder growth; freelance work may provide necessary funds while supporting app development.

- User Engagement: Make feedback easy to gather and respond promptly to build loyalty and adapt the app to user needs.
- End of Business Preparedness: Acknowledge that apps can become irrelevant; diversify offerings to ensure stability.
