Mobile Application Development Doors Are Open

Do you know that anyone could just literally publish their application on the AppStore or any other marketplace within a day? It is possible and due to the barrier of entry have decrease over the years. If you have not know how mobile application development is in the past, let me just write about the "history" of it.

In the past to publish an application, you would have to head over to the monopolize mobile carrier like SingTel, M1 or StarHub to get your application to their millions of subscribers. This waiting time process takes a long time and it is frustrating if you're inpatient. Firstly you have to create the application and you have to make sure that the coding is neat and perfect. The graphic must be up to standard. After which, you have to write a proposal to allow these mobile carrier to publish your application to their database. 

Apart from the waiting time, the payment fee is huge. To publish a single application it could be a few thousands and thousands of dollars. Okay even you can afford it, it doesn't mean that your application will be approve. Your application will be pilled up like thousands of other big corporate application.

Draw Something Success

Some of you may have played it, or heard it or perhaps you even paid to Draw Something, a social game which user draw a term that is given to them and the other user have to guess what it is. Do you know that this application by OMGPOP hit virtual and was brought by Zynga for $183 million dollars after one year?

“But quality of work can be expected only through personal satisfaction, dedication and enjoyment. In our profession, precision and perfection are not a dispensable luxury, but a simple necessity.” 

– Niklaus Wirth

Do you also know that a year before it was sold to Zynga they have earn a six figure revenue per year? Or is it per month? NO! It's per day. Isn't it great to build an application once and earn passive income out of it? If you are wondering it must be hard to do it or it may cost a huge some of money...

You could get a developer to do an application exactly as Draw Something for 200k.

"With a project of this magnitude, you’ll want to work with a power house development shop that can handle all aspects of the process – planning, design, development, testing, publishing, marketing. You’ll need to come up with an idea that is equally titanic as “Pictionary for iPhone” and will need at least 10 months to block off. Impossible? Heck no, but it’s a huge project. This is not something I would ever outsource – I would want to partner with the best of the best."

A Smartphone Isn't A Smartphone

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” ― Leo Tolstoy

Let us start of with this wise quote by Leo Tolstoy. If you have not read the post on Why You Should Go Into Mobile Application, then you may not understand fully about this post. I strongly encourage you to read that article before heading to here.

Why does a smartphone isn't a smartphone? This is real fact that all major phone brands have to solve. Just think about it, how many times have you tired to dialed your children and they didn't pick up your call? Instead they sent you a text message or a message online through Facebook, Kik, What's App or Viber? The younger generation have took phone for granted.

Traditionally, phone are used for one purpose. That is to call. With increase in technology, phone function increases with text messages, radio, touch light, bluetooth, wifi, 3G, 4G, LTE and such. These days smartphone aren't smartphone anymore unless they have mobile applications in them.


A smartphone must have the ability to access Facebook, Gmail, Games and more. Just think about it, why most of us choose Apple phone over Nokia? Is'it because it can receive messages faster than Nokia? Is'it because it can withstand drop? No! In fact, Apple phone will be spoiled when it's drop even from the waist level. On the other hand, having to use Nokia in the past, I have drop it several times and it didn't crack nor spoil. So what is'it that most of us choose Apple over Nokia? It's because of the diverse application you can download from the AppStore. Just think about it, if someone just got his phone, what's the first thing or one of the first thing he would do? 

It's to download application. So, how does the person know what application is the best? Here's a trick I'll be revealing to get more download as a developer...

Since someone doesn't know what to download, get onto the "Top Charts" or getting tons of people reviewing your application on the net so when someone searches your keywords, the person who receive your application website will be there. This is actually a win-win situation, they get more people to their website and you achieve your goal.- Getting more people to download your application.

In conclusion, a smartphone isn't a smartphone unless they have application that benefit the user.
