Why must it be a web app? To me web apps are only useful for a specific sort of software, not for all types of software. People who want everything to be web apps are just mentally inflexible.

The app store for web apps is twitter and facebook.

Because that was the original question asked, as well as the topic here. Stay on topic, stay on topic.

I might be wrong but you might be splitting hair here. What I read was:

"Is it hard to write a small piece of software and sell it over the web so I can make 1k per month to pay my bills"

I don't know where you read that. Here is the question:

"Is it hard to build, market and maintain a web app that makes at least $1000 a month? For a single, skilled web developer."

You might consider that splitting hairs, but I think the question was quite clear, and very precise. Basically, he's interested in capitalizing on an existing skill set and wondering about the business side of things.
