The Apple
iPhone is becoming the paramount device of the decade and has made it's way to
the palms of millions of people, both in North America and around the World.
iPhone users typically look for ways to entertain themselves while traveling,
waiting for a doctors appointment, at the airport, the office... The list goes
on and on. The potential market for iPhone App sales is absolutely astonishing
and creating the right iPhone App, one which solves a problem, or merely
provides entertainment value can put extra cash in your pocket, or although
unlikely, make you an overnight Alphabet
phonics sensation.
So, you have
a profound iPhone App idea, one that you feel is going to be truly useful, or
provide the utmost entertainment value, now what? I'm going to share with you a
few cost efficient ways to easily have your iPhone App developed and then
marketed to yield sales for years to come.
Step 1:
Create your iPhone App idea. Write it down, draw diagrams, complete research on
how your App will influence people to purchase, or download for free.
Step 2: Find
an iPhone App developer. You may be asking yourself, "where the heck would
I find one of those?". Well the answer is quite simple. There are websites
online that can put you in contact with firms who specialize in website design
and application development specifically. Visit Elance.com. I've used this
website personally for several years to hire firms specialized in whatever
internet task I was looking to complete. Outsource to another country if need
be.
Step 3: Work
with your new found developer to bring your idea to life. Send them whatever
you've completed prior to contacting them and have them provide their Alphabet
phonics input. It's
very important to ensure that a standard Non Disclose Agreement be in place
prior to sharing your information with them, as if it's an amazing enough idea,
the last thing you'd like to happen is for them to walk away with your idea.
Standard NDA's can be found in various places on the internet, free of charge,
or at a low price.
Step 4:
Create a marketing plan. Ensure the firm you've chosen to work with has the
expertise to not only bring your App to life, but assist you in marketing
efforts afterward. If you happen to chose a developer for a specific reason and
find out that they don't possess marketing skills, you may want to post another
job on Elance to find the appropriate firm.
Step 5: Once
your App is developed, hit the market hard. Create a website for your product.
If you plan to market several products, create a website geared towards a
larger entity (ABC Media for instance) and have all of your Apps displayed on
the website and available for download on iPhone, Droid OS, or BlackBerry.
There is a
vast potential to make money online with iPhone Apps. Careful craft your
concept, find a developer and bring that baby to market. The beautiful thing
about Apps is, once you've paid your developer the profits are yours for years
to come.
