On 10.11.13, In To take advantage of any of the latest generation smart phones like the iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S or HTC HD7, which are actually mini-sized computers, the opportunity for software publisher is endless.
This is the case of Angry Birds, a mobile game for iPhone and Android, developed by Rovio, a small company in Finland. Since it was launched in December 2009 at the price of one dollar, it has sold nearly seven million units. The creators of this game, in which some birds are catapulted to destroy buildings, three young people in their college years have won a competition to create mobile games, sponsored by Nokia.
Jump Doodle is another case similar to Angry Birds. Its creators were two brothers, Marko and Igor Pusenjak, that this video game, have made about 6 million downloads (with prices from $1 for the iPhone version to $4 for the version of Android.) With little advertising, relying only on word of mouth from users ecstatic with their creation, have come to be gold.
Getting rich with applications, not about making games or start a business. A guy named Hooman Zohoor has created iFitness, an application for iPhone and iPad that has sold 2 million units at $4 each. This application explains a series of exercises for muscle or tone up, like having a trainer in the palm.
It can also be an escape from an unpleasant job. This is the case of Malagon and Berkeley, who created The Moron Test , an application to see if the wearer is stupid or not. The two brothers created in his spare time while working at another company, and after racking up sales of two million, have been able to quit their jobs and live off their hobby.
Getting Started
To create a successful application you do not need professional expertise. Many of the applications that are available in online stores are created by amateurs, and their success has been because they are addictive or very useful. To begin creating one, you do not enroll in a computer school, you only need to learn from other users, who post their experiences online, or read the online tutorials.
Apple charges $99 for subscribing to the program to create applications for iPhone, which includes manuals and programs to start. For Android, there is a free program called App Inventor to get started in this lucrative business. Of course, to “filthy rich”, the bottom line is to have an original idea.
