When you are trying to make money with iPhone Apps, the beauty of
it is that you don't really need any technology career related
experience and that you can learn the ropes as you go. That being said,
there are some skills that you will need to teach yourself or pick up
along the way to make your iPhone apps successful. You can't go in not
knowing anything, not learning anything, and still expect to make a good
income (or any income at all).
First,
you will need to know how to generate the right iPhone app idea which
will make peoples lives easier, or just entertaining. Generating an idea
for an iPhone app will probably be your biggest hurdle, and that can
easily be overcome with some creative brainstorming techniques. There
are many types of iPhone apps, from free apps to high dollar apps, and
each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages (although high
dollar apps is more likely to give you a successful business in the
end).
You will need to look at and choose app functionality. Basically, what the app will do that can help people with their entertainment needs, or help them with whatever task they may need help with. This is the toughest part of the process. Discovering what functionality people need with apps. You could even copy existing apps and re tweak them with your personalized functionality. Remember, an app doesn't even have to be useful or involved in order to be successful. Have you heard of Joel Comm's iPhone app? It's called iFart. Basically, it lets users choose from several different types of farting sounds and play them through their phone. It's useless, but it has been downloaded many, many times. At about 99 cents per download, it has made back his development costs many times over!
Second, you will need to know how to outsource development. You don't have to worry about a lack of programming experience. Even if you have never written a line of code in your life, you can still release successful apps. The main way to create apps without programming is to outsource the development. If you have very specific ideas for your app, this may be your only option.
Finally, you will need to know how to market your iPhone app. Many app developers erroneously believe that all they have to do is upload their app to the App Store and sales will magically begin to flood in. This might happen, but it is extremely unlikely. The App Store is becoming more and more competitive all the time, and you must promote your app if you want to ensure significant sales. There are practically endless ways to promote an app, but I'm going to go over in this article.
There are many people who are making millions of dollars with applications for the iPhone and iPad. Fortunately, many iPhone apps will also work for the iPad, so you can kill two birds with one stone. Making money with iPhone apps has never been any more simple than now. As long as you follow this how to step-by-step guide there is never going to be a better time than now to be an app developer. While the field is constantly becoming more and more competitive, the market is still relatively young. If you get in now, you have a very good chance to make a lot of money. Remember, the pioneers in an industry usually establish dominance right away, so it's important to jump in right now! The time to do this is NOW! The longer you wait, the more money you are leaving on the table!
