Make Money with iPhone: Making Apps

|

By Barber Paul


Let's face it: competition is stiff at the Apple App store. Naturally, this hasn't killed the attraction of earning with apps. The market is massive and if you've a neat idea, the capability to earn cash with iPhone apps is pretty gigantic also. So where do you start, anyhow?



Your Great Idea

Most of it starts with a clever idea. Though if you are looking to break into the Apple App market-place, it's imperative that you get yourself some background data on what you are getting into. You must do some research on what sort of applications and games are popular, and what other apps stand in effective competition to yours.



There actually isn't one sure fire recipe for a successful app or game. An app can be as easy as iFart (a novelty app that, as the name implies, makes sounds of passing gas) or a game can be as uncomplicated as Fruit Ninja and still be popular. On the other hand, you can make a program like Epicurious that is basically a repository for recipes you can cook up with the ingredients you have on hand and get many downloads. Think your idea through: what niche market will it fill? Is it an app people will tell their buddies about?



Once you have turned your good idea into a polished product, then you can start to make money with iPhone apps.



Getting Your App Out There

So you've made your concept into an app and have had it beta-tested to get all of the bugs out. What now? The next step is to submit it to the App Store for approval. If your app doesn't contain pornographic or offensive content, is polished and bug-free, and doesn't seem like another app too closely, then it should be accepted for selling on the store. Promoting and promotions come next to basically get the word out about your app.



As we've discussed, the potential to earn money with iPhone apps is great, though you'll need to do your research, produce a quality product, and promote it for you to truly rake in the download numbers.
