Upload Site + iPhone Apps = Easy Money

So I was taking a crap a few minutes ago and I was on my iPod Touch downloading apps and I realized something, I could make some easy money with apps and I don't have to develop them.

Here's the method:

1) Buy hosting and make an upload site like Rapidshare. Don't make it where people can get paid for so many downloads.

2) Try and make the site compatible with the download plugin that comes with the Installous app. This is optional but recommended.

3) Contact the author of Appulous and ask to get your new site approved so people can start sharing your links.

4) Download a bunch of apps from Appulous and upload them to your site.

5) Assuming you got the author's approval add your links to Appulous.

Once you've got your links up people will start downloading from your site and uploading to your site. This method can draw in some great traffic and in about a month you can easily flip the site for some good money.

Not bad. I'd like to make an actual app tho. I have a great idea... maybe I'll go hire a coder.

any hint on the idea erik?


nice post btw.

Your first sentence reminds me of anything...do any of you guys go to the bathroom and sit down on the toilet with your laptop? I don't, but that idea is on my mind...I guess this is good, but does Appulo.us make all the apps on their site, or do other authors submit them? Maybe they don't want their apps on your site?

My sister's boyfriend and his brother seems to believe that crapping with your laptop is normal, but not to me.

Very interesting idea btw.

Crapping with your laptop is a bit weird but an iPod Touch is alright because it's not as big. And to answer your question hwolfpack all the apps that are on their site aren't there's, they're cracked from the Appstore.
