I have found the app marketplace to be mixed bag - it's somewhat of a marathon, but more of a slot machine.

You can put in the hours, but you also have to have a little luck. If your app hits, then all that work pays off, if not, then it can be very frustrating.

I have 1 big hit, 1 smaller hit, and 5 losers in the market. Some of my losers took a lot of time.

You're willing to put in the work, so I personally believe you are a step ahead.

I never had any intention of crawling - but I guess I did, so I see where you're coming from.
