How To Make Your Own Apple iPhone Apps

You are probably familiar with a website builder - as a simple user control panel which uses menus or drag and drop or something similar to allow anyone to create a website without having to have anything to do with the actual programming code - well know My App Builder has applied the same concept to making iphone applications, allowing anyone to create as many as they like without any programming whatsoever. Everyone know that you can make your own website easily enough, but not so many people have caught on to these app builders yet so now is a great time to get involved in this lucrative business.

What Can I Create With This?

There are a huge number of different things that you can use My App Builder to create, so anyone with a but of creativity about them should have no problems coming up with ideas. But just to get you thinking here are some of the most common categories:

• Video and mulitmedia: Make your video and flash available for people on their phone, or create new 'how to videos' or flash greeting cards, multimedia presentations, entertaining clips....... and so on.


• Create a quiz or fun test - if you have a fun or interesting idea these things are quick to create and can go viral.


• Create a book, manual or catalogue: If you already make money from ebooks then this is a great way to add new revenue streams for very little effort and only a small expense.


• Promote your music and other audio


• Create a slideshow or photo album


• Make an app featuring the best content of your website - a great way to get more visitors to your site.

These are just a few ideas to give you a flavour of the kind of options available to you if you have a go at this. There are plenty of other things you could do instead. It's easy and affordable, so try it out now! (the link opens in a new window so you can still read the rest of the page).

You can submit them to the iTunes store, and if they are good enough then they will be made available for people to buy and promoted for you by apple to make you money.

You can also have them for yourself and give them away to friends and family! Or you can give your app away on your website - something that I do on one of my sites - as a way to get your visitors more involved and help turn a casual visitor into a regular reader / loyal customer.

You Can Also....

Once you can make one app there is no reason why you should stop there - why not make more and turn it into a part time or even a full time business for yourself

One easy way to get things running if you want to set up your own business in this field is to join the iPhone App Business Club - which offers free source code for new apps to it's members each month, which you can then add your own graphics and content to without any programming and sell on itunes. This is a great way to build up a portfolio of products quickly and easily, and is also a great way to get inspiration for new things to create.

Also, if you are serious about making a business out of this then here is a link to an article with more great resources for the business side of things - AppDevSecrets, including information about how to market and promote your applications - because there is no point creating something if hardly anyone uses it!
