Have you ever dreamed of completing the entire process of a product by yourself, from topic selection to design, from market research to technical implementation, to publicity and promotion, and even customer service work? This is the daily life of an independent developer. They are not just developers, they are all-around generalists. Today, we will reveal the income ceiling and success stories of this mysterious profession.
First, what is an indie developer? They are not programmers who specialize in development, but people who can independently complete the entire product process. Development skills are not the most important to them, but comprehensive project management capabilities and market insights are more important. From this perspective, the skill requirements of independent developers are almost the same as those of CEOs. They are like a "mini CEO".
So, what is the upper limit of income for this profession? Let’s take a look at the best in the industry. For example, level s I/O, a well-known independent developer on Twitter, has achieved a monthly income of more than 200,000 US dollars with a number of successful products, such as force AI and surface AI. Another case is David Pai, whose jet AI has 3 million users and a monthly income of up to 500,000 US dollars. These success stories demonstrate the huge potential of independent developers.
However, these are not income caps for independent developers. In fact, some independent developers can even earn over a million dollars a month. They make a fortune in a low voice, but they earn a lot of money without being ostentatious. What's more, there is no clear line between independent development and entrepreneurship. Many successful independent developers eventually form their own companies and grow their businesses. For example, a certain A-share listed company started with independent development and eventually developed into an industry leader.
The world of indie developers is filled with endless possibilities. With their comprehensive skills and keen market insights, they have created one successful product after another. And the upper limit of income for this profession? Perhaps the sky is the limit. If you are interested in independent development, you might as well try it bravely, maybe you will be the next successful one!
