Spare Change

by

As you probably know, we try to remind people as much as possible to support the developers and there’s good reason for it. The reason most of us use a Windows phone is because of the huge amount of tweaking and software available for our phones and it’s all at our fingertips. But we can’t forget that a lot of this is not the result of large corporations- it’s regular individuals who are devoting their spare time for the sake of the community. And as good hearted as they are, the sheer amount of time and in fact out of pocket expenses (between web hosting and third party paid software) often puts them in a deficit…especially when you think about the time devotion in particular. Recently I asked some of the developers that we’ve highlighted about the level of donations that they receive relative to their costs and I was shocked. The best of the group received about one tenth of one penny for every download but the average is closer to one one-hundreth of a penny per download. Think about that…it means that for every 10,000 downloads they receive $1. It’s staggering. A lot of this has to do with free riders – the developers make great apps and everyone assumes that someone else contributing or that they don’t need to contribute since others will. The problem is that almost everyone is in this group and donations are few and far between. Let’s talk specifics though.
