Hilarious man.
@17:00mins Carter mentions” building up enough of a traffic base to make real revenue come in”. Is he referring to building a big enough traffic base by a large app network that cross promotes your apps/games to see real revenue come in or just a big enough portfolio of apps that create the large traffic base to create revenue? Can you elaborate on this strategy?
