At the mere age of 20, Braydon Batungbacal together with his colleague had built over 150 apps. 15 apps ended up in the leaderboard of the app stores and they have had over 10 million downloads. Within a year they had earned over one million dollars.
The recipe for success is marketing. To systematically identify what people want and to create it.
Braydons hottest tips to get rich on apps:
- Look at what's popular right now in the AppStore.
- Look at what kind of apps are trending
- Check out what's trending on TV or on the Internet
An example that you'll probably remember is Gagnam style, that first trended on Youtube and spread to the rest of internet, to eventually end up on the app market. Being first out with something like a Gagnam app is worth a lot of money.
Their best-selling apps are generally content apps that provide content from different niches. Some examples are the wallpaper apps, such as various sports or car types. These are low hanging fruit and easy-to-make apps, compared to more solution oriented apps.
So it's not so much about having a business idea. It's not about creating the app that will 'revolutionize' the world. It is about following the money and to create it.
Braydon and his colleague recommends www.upwork.com (previously known as oDesk) for those who can't program. For 50-200 dollars, you can get your App-idea completed.
So start following the trends and create apps, folks! The millions are within reach!
I believe that this is a really good way of making money!
Really like the last part about outsourcing the app development, but you should at least know enough to check the product for bad code.
