"There's 1.6 billion iphone users. 2 million iphone apps in the store right now.
Chrome users: 3 billion Chrome users, only 200,000 plugins. There's a TON of opportunity here!" (~17 minutes in)
Late to the party I guess but I just discovered this podcast. This ep. was great. I think Chrome Extensions are a great Step 1 in Rob Walling's Stair Step Approach. See here for reference: https://robwalling.com/2015/03/26/the-stairstep-approach-to-bootstrapping/
The idea is you need to start off making your first money online with something simple that doesn't require support and is more of a one time sale deal. Not that you can't make recurring revenue from and Chrome Extension. I just think Chrome Extensions are a great one time sale opportunity for simple to build products.
Here are some great links I found to get started:
Getting Started with Web Extensions by Mozilla
Extensions Create Kickstarter CLI
Browser Extensions Book
Chrome Extension Samples
I agree! I think extensions have a lot going for them:
Good stuff, thanks for sharing!!
