Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
Following your logic the guy who's paying you is totally delusional, better find another job quickly before he realises there's no money in the appstore ;)
Nail on the head. :)
There IS money on the appstore, though the reality is brutal, there are much more histories of failure than those with happy ending. Putting it on "got lucky" though is just making excuse for your failure.
I might be getting it wrong but I remember seeing an info graphic that mentioned that only the top 12% of iOS developers are earning more than 50k per annum but at this level, apparently these guys are spending more than $30k on marketing and promotion.
I make much more than $50k a year and haven't spent a dollar on marketing in 2012.
