Well actually the statistics are off by ALOT, because of the number of spam

a pretty good idea of what kind of answer to the question might be
really useful.

I looked at this to get an idea of distribution of app downloads.
It's not the most accurate, but it shows you how hard it can be to get
to 100K

I think the general trend is that you won't make much money; though
you never know until you try. Remember that all those huge successes
you read about are outliers. The majority of apps just sorta get by or
flop. Just throw your best hat into the ring and see what happens.
What other kind of answer are you looking for?

Any answers you get from 1 or 2 developers is not going to speak to any
"general trend". You'd need to look at the Market as a whole.
Anyway, this is one of those "personal" questions most people are not likely
to respond to, so you're probably not going to get much of a response.
Sorry.

Individual Developer may not have that much resources as a company
have.
not only for marketing but also a work done by individual and a Team
might result in a concrete application.

How long it took you to reach 1.5 million users?
I am looking data for applications with some price tag such as 1.00
USD or 0.99 USD.
with a market access all over the world (provided selling/purchasing
is permitted in those countries).
