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."

Understand Why Mobile Application Is Successful

Have you ever pondered with one of this question on why mobile application is  successful? You will be able to understand why you should jump into mobile application today after reading this and the previous post.

To kick start this topic, I would like you to think of this, how many application have you purchase on your smartphone, tablet or such? Personally I do purchase several application and one of them include Papago, a GPS application which cost about $50 in the past I think but it's $24.99 now. Although this is a utility application, people who travel a lot would purchase them as they are cheap as compared to a GPS tablet which is installed on the car itself. Having this Papago on my iPhone allow me to bring it everywhere and I am able to download it to all my apple devices too. 

This works wonders and the best feature is that it using location services which means it doesn't need any WIFI, 3G or whatsoever which cost money. A tip to increase price of an application is to increase your value. 

Let's get on the topic while I put this aside. Do you know how Apple increase their potential sale of those paid application? It is simply by making the purchasing time shorter and easy. Just think about it, how many clicks do you need to take to purchase a paid application on your iPhone? Well, to be exact it takes only two clicks once you have purchase an application before.
