If you are not a web developer you may consider building an app. I find the Mac App Store to be less competitive than the iOS one.

Personally, I released my app two months ago: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/easygit/id1228242832?mt=12

I am iOS developer and it has become a pretty tough market to crack. Can you share some more thoughts on the MAc App store. Is it worth investing in Mac app development?. Thanks.

Anecdotally it seems like the Mac App Store is easier to break into and generate a steady income, at least for a while. Not sure if it is because of less competition, or just mac users being more willing to spend money for apps than iOS users. Keep in mind though that the market is at least one order of magnitude smaller than the iOS Store, so it may be more difficult to go further than side-project level.

Thank you

What do you think about it revenue-wise? Are you pulling decent money from the MAS?
