For two Decembers in a row, I have wondered if Software Ops would allow me to stay an independent software developer. December is an odd time for business that depends upon the iTunes App Store. December sales are weak. This is not at all strange considering apps like My Eyes Only™ are content for devices. People are buying the devices and iTune gift cards as gifts during December. Then like magic, sales double or triple starting Christmas Day and continue for a few weeks. True to form, now that we are in the third day of the new year sales are doing much better.

What does that mean to the success of Software Ops?

Revenue is the foundation of a business’s success. I know that’s a magnificently hard to comprehend concept. I’m kidding. For someone who is living in the trenches of the App Store that has over 100 thousands apps for customers to spend their money on, having them spend money on my apps generates revenue for Software Ops. That in turn allows for development of new features and new apps, thus creating more success.

Expertise on iPhone Development and App Store

While I don’t know everything about developing on the iPhone and the workings of the App Store, people are seeking me out to help them with their development and business needs. This is a fantastic development for Software Ops future prospects.

I expect good things for Software Ops in 2010.
