Super excited to share a bit the result of my little obsession with self tracking. Next year I want to have even more data and hopefully I'll find more interesting correlations and insights!
Thank you, your reply is extremely helpful. I have some questions:
Can you expand on item 2? Also, I'm having trouble finding places where I can find the kind of clients that are looking for quality over fast and cheap solutions, UpWork is not that place and I don't have enough quality contacts (I don't have conferences to go near where I live).
Finding the clients for iOS development will be hard. It would be easier to just apply for remote or full-time contract positions (try careers.StackOverflow.com)
I don't have enough quality contacts to find these clients. And this kind of work is not common where I live so I don't have conferences to go... Do you have any suggestions?
I live in a similar place. Going remote is the solution, but again without a middle-man... Look for gigs on HN hiring/freelancer threads; weworkremotely.com; wfh.io; etc...
Even on upwork or similar sites, especially when the client is new to site, in case they provided contact info - contact them directly. Yes, and needless to mention - double (better triple) your rate.
Yep, and no need to mention the [race-to-the-bottom] site. Just check their website, contact info, maybe jobs/careers section, and contact anyway. And again, consider doubling/tripling your rate.
For short-term quick jobs - daily (better weekly) charging is preferable.
For long-term-like-regular-job - I prefer hourly billing, because I usually work part-time and with a hourly setup I have a freedom.
Hmm, it might make sense, but, correct me if I'm wrong, there's almost no room for more expensive freelancers on UpWork. At least I don't see where they (we) would fit.
Saurik did know about the Chinese company and tried to warn Evad3rs about piracy, but I read that Evad3rs thought that the app had nothing to do with piracy. [1]

I was very undecided about make it free, paid or in-app and I wasn't comfortable with none of them so I decide to release it paid and see how thing goes.
Maybe another version will be like that. Also why do you think it should be free with in-app?
Because, I myself almost never buy paid apps. I do, however sometimes buy in app purchases because they offer cool features. I just couldn't see myself buying this.
