My app started out slow but has been pretty successful through word of mouth. I've done no advertising or marketing as this started out as a class project.

In the 5 months since my app was released (this is cumulative for all versions of the app both paid and free):

June: 500

July: 2K

August: 16K

September: 23K

October: 11K (so far)

My app is FantasyMonster (http://www.fantasymonsterapp.com)

I have similar thoughts as the author of the blog post. Doing your own thing is way better than working for a corporation. I plan on quitting in a few months and traveling the world with my wife while working on more apps.
