Creating and Selling iPhone Applications - Easy way to riches
When Apple opened the AppStore for third party developers, it unfolded a never before opportunity for Individual software vendors (ISVs) to directly sell applications to end users. Many developers became millionaires overnight by selling high quality and cheap applications in huge volumes. Once an application reaches the "what is hot" or the "top 25" list of App Store, you are guaranteed to earn thousands of dollars in profit in a single day. The problem is, the AppStore has become very competitive with a huge number of applications being submitted everyday. Bringing your application to the top of the favorite list on the iPhone AppStore has now become a very tedious task. Even if your application is of top notch quality, getting visibility on the AppStore is what has become the most difficult part of creating and selling an iPhone Application.
I recently came across a book called "MyPhoneRiches" by Charlie Parker which demystifies the process involved in creating, selling and marketing an application on the Apple iPhone AppStore.

What you need for iPhone development
To create an iPhone application, you need to have the following tools, hardware and knowledge:
- An Intel Mac. Even a Mac Mini would do.
- iPhone development tools. You can download this from the Apple iPhone developer website.
- Programming knowledge of Objective C. Objective C is an object oriented programming language, which has a unique syntax and pretty easy to learn if you are familiar with C++.
- To list the application on the AppStore, you need to pay about $99 and your iPhone developer account will be enabled for submission of iPhone applications.
Successful Applications in the AppStore
Once we have the necessary tools, we can start the development of the program. If you do not have the necessary programming knowledge, you can either hire the necessary coders or you can outsource the work completely. MyPhoneRiches teaches you how to do both of these at a very nominal cost. But what application to develop and what is the best way to market it? You can find the answers for all these questions in the course.
More than developing, coming up with the right application is the real challenge. Just run your imaginations wild. You will hit upon the idea for the next big mobile application. Do you know that at one point an application called 'iFart' which does nothing but play farting sound through iPhone speakers was the best selling application? The developer of iFart was making more than $10,000 a day when it was on the best sellers list. This is one of the applications which would have taken minimal effort to develop. iFart still remains as one of the best selling iPhone apps ever! So what is your idea for an iPhone app? MyPhoneRiches teaches you on how to come up with great ideas for an iPhone application.

Developers are not great marketers
Marketing is where most developers fail. You can develop a great product, but if you do not do proper marketing, your application is bound to fail. With a myriad of new applications being posted everyday on the AppStore, it takes a lot of effort to create visibility for your products. MyPhoneRiches teaches you the essentials that will go a long way in launching a successful iPhone application. The strategies are laid out clearly in the book.
What the MyPhoneRiches isn't
MyPhoneRiches is not a programming tutorial on how to program for the iPhone. It helps you in identifying which are the niche areas where you can create a successful application and then monetize it. I feel the hardest part in creating a mobile application is not in the development, but in the marketing of it. MyPhoneRiches teaches you how to do this. Get your copy today.
