Comments on: How to make money developing iPad apps http://monevator.com/2010/01/27/how-to-make-money-developing-ipad-apps/ Make more money, invest profitably, retire early Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:13:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dave http://monevator.com/2010/01/27/how-to-make-money-developing-ipad-apps/comment-page-1/#comment-108911 Dave Thu, 13 Oct 2011 10:47:13 +0000 http://monevator.com/?p=3447#comment-108911 Many business clients no longer aim for making money on iPad apps, they think about the costs in alternative ways. If using an iPad in Enterprise can prevent printed booklets, sales documentation not having to be carried around and customer/sales information in your hand over the air the costs stack up. To make money as a small venture at the moment the app needs to be sticky to keep customers coming back, games obviously score highly in this area but they are also costly to develop. The only realistic revenue channels are inApp purchases for virtual goods and in app advertising. Still if you have ideas and limited budget the other solution is to partner with a software development company and if the idea really is that good, they would probably be willing to develop it for you in exchange for revenue share. The issue arises when the app needs to be marketed. If you don't have a plan, you will of course fail to get seen by anyone. Good luck all.

There are companies with very high budgets to develop games, apps. I had sent a few apps but they didn't become much popular. An original idea can still work but hard to find it :) iPad app market is so competitive. There are companies with very high budgets to develop games, apps.

Nicely written. I was looking into developing apps, but every time I started working on one, someone else would come out with it, and it'd be about 3.7 times better. Sucks for me, but I'll keep at it! Thanks for the article. Nicely written.

A friend has ordered one via a pal in the States that should arrive tomorrow, depending on the post. I think I'll probably wait for Apple to release a version that's ironed out the quirks though - maybe 2011? I’m consumed with jealousy, just for getting to try the future first!
