A Few Words About Indie App Business

Indie App Business Insights – Charlie Monroe

Charlie Monroe shares advice on starting an indie app business based on personal experience. Key points include:

  1. Patience and Realism: Success often takes time; initial apps may fail. Start small and improve based on feedback.
  2. Employment Consideration: Full-time jobs can hinder growth; freelance work may provide necessary funds while supporting app development.
  3. Collaboration Decisions: Going solo gives total control but can lead to burnout; partnerships share workload risks but can also lead to conflicts if not aligned.
  4. User Engagement: Make feedback easy to gather and respond promptly to build loyalty and adapt the app to user needs.
  5. End of Business Preparedness: Acknowledge that apps can become irrelevant; diversify offerings to ensure stability.

Monroe emphasizes the importance of understanding the long-term commitment required for indie app success, while urging new developers to stay grounded and realistic about their expectations.
