Iphone 3g Apps Make Serious Money!

[ugorrogu]

Does anybody know is it hard to get an application approved for the iphone store or is there not such process?

Umm.. Creating a "Black hat" type app for the app store is a very crazy and idiotic idea. Trust me, you will be caught and your app won't make it to the app store. I have been keeping up with the App Store updates and they have been VERY strict on approving apps.

Its very simple look at the New York Times application on Iphone Banner at the bottom or you can look at the apps I have been making which are doing very well. Main reason why i have not been on BHW in awhile. Find whats working and Hammer the hell out of it. Focus on just 1 thing and Multiply your income by 1000% then you become rich. That simple

iphone apps are easy to make but the likes of ximscreamingx's app is a little risky because if you want in appstore they check a lot of things for security, but if your uploadig it to something like a jailbroken phone its fine.

It would be legal stuffing, just unbenounced to the user. A free eBay sniper that basically inserts my affcode when bidding on their auctions.

Just because you dont know how to program doesnt mean you can't hire someone. Thats how i get all my projects done. I can barely send an email. But i had some sick apps on facebook when they first came out. Be creative on deal brokering if you dont have the money to hire someone. Find a programmer willing to do an equity share. You do the marketing and they do the programming something like that. Most programmers don't know how to market. And most marketers don't know how to program. If you a marketer then be the best. Cause its impossible to be the best at both not enough time. But you certainly can hire them. Look, for exampl on the back of the iphone says "Designed by apple in California" "Assemble by China". Every Major company outsources technology assembly and even design. If you don't realize that soon. You are going to be left in the dust. That makes the difference between the small guy and the Giant money machine.

Very well said. I follow this same method to a T

Just went through this post quickly and noticed alot of people do not know how to code but want to get involved in this market.

I run my own iPhone app development company since last November.

Anyone serious about getting involved I can definitely help you. And no, you don't need to know how to code coca.

Send me a pm for more details.

Also, anyone who wants just some general info, just ask me in a post!

Happy to help.

My team runs on OSX and uses Coca to code our apps. Depending on whats needed, you have integrate with api or an sql database. If you wanted to get into 3d games, there are lots of companies out there who have engines you can incorporate. Unity is one of the better ones.

Also, sorry no more pm's on this one!

I will start up a post in the service section about the services I can offer you.

Until then, I would love to help answer any general iphone app questions you have in forum posts.

Me and a Friend have started an app company in which we've already released our first app - TweetGlobe.

Our blog is at uniqueapps DOT c0m and uniqueapps on Y0UTube - check it out. We'll be releasing another iphone app in about a week or so - it's already been uploaded to apple - but they can take 3-10 days to approve it.

The money is definitely there - but without marketing, you will not do so well. We outsourced the programming and design - which our first app cost nearly 20,000 to put together and although the company isn't profitable yet - our second app, which cost around 12,000 to put together should be a REAL money maker...
