Hi, thanks for sharing your story and I'm sure many people have been in the same situation sometime on their journey setting up a startup, I know I have.

It's hard to get up when you get knocked down and at the same time trying to balance finances. A way to make some cash on the side is to build small compact iOS apps and sell them on Codecanyon.net no selling experience required. It might not make you 1000's initially but they do sell and it will help your finances. Look at setting a goal in producing 1-2 apps a week so keep them simple but well featured.

You might even end up working on a new idea by doing this and before you know it end up with a successful business.

BTW email me you skills / work on iOS as I might well have some work for you.

Good luck,

Steve

I just checked out codecanyon.net for iOS apps: apparently they're selling for as low as $12 for a whole app.

I'd recommend taking a look at Apptopia.com, deals are exclusive but the prices seem much better. (I have no affiliation with them)

Hi cheers for the update I have not heard of apptopia.com looks interesting. With CC the apps remain your property so it depends if you want to start again or sell the same item many times. Some apps on CC have made over $100k p/y.
Thanks, that's good to know. I'll have to dig deeper.
