…comes the 5-year story of Atomic Bird, makers of Macaroni, Mondomouse and Chimey.
The next day three people bought copies. I was unbelievably amazed. The day after that I sold five. I soon learned that it’s actually possible to make a decent living selling software over the internet for a few bucks a copy.
Tom doesn’t give away how long it took for his sales to get high enough that he could live off them but Gus Mueller (Flying Meat told us previously it takes 3 years to become an independent software developer.
Congratulations to Tom of Atomic Bird!
[Update: But wait, there’s more from Tom with After Launching, Then What?]
