Comment on Ask HN: Got a site that could be massively viral then fade -- how do I cash in?parent

While I agree with the unlikelihood of "The Sure Thing" he claims, I think he's just trying to be prepared. If it's true that it hypes on a grand scale but will only last a week or two, I would want to be prepared with my monetization so to not miss a day of it.

I find it hard to take a viral app and make any kind of significant revenue in a short time, no example comes to mind. But if this was the case I would suggest, possibly a compliment iphone app that costs like 99 cents to capture paying customers of the apple market. This market seems to pay for things like this , example fart app.

Yeah, but unfortunately if it is time sensitive, the approval process required by the Apple market is a huge hinderance.

What you said. :)
