Introduction
There are many people who are making millions of dollars with
applications for the iPhone and iPad. Fortunately, many iPhone
apps will also work for the iPad, so you can kill two birds with
one stone.
There is never going to be a
better time than now to be an
app developer. While the field
is constantly becoming more
and more competitive, the
market is still relatively young.
If you get in now, you have a
very good chance to make a lot of money. Remember, the
pioneers in an industry usually establish dominance right away,
so it’s important to jump in right now!
In this report, I’m going to teach you some of the basics of
creating an iPhone or iPad app. I’ll also give you some
resources with more advanced information.
The time to do this is NOW! The longer you wait, the more
money you are leaving on the table!
www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 4
Generating App Ideas
Generating an idea for an app will probably be your biggest
hurdle, and that can easily be overcome with some creative
brainstorming techniques.
Remember, an app doesn’t even
have to be useful or involved in
order to be successful. Have you
heard of Joel Comm’s app? It’s
called iFart. Basically, it lets
users choose from several
different types of farting sounds and play them through their
phone. It’s useless, but it has been downloaded many, many
times. At about 99 cents per download, it has made back his
development costs many times over!
Copy Existing Apps
One of the easiest ways to get an idea is simply by looking
through popular apps and copying them. Obviously, you
wouldn’t want to copy their concept exactly. Instead, download
the app yourself and try to figure out its major weaknesses.
www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 5
If possible, look for comments about that app. Find out what
people don’t like. Then you can create an app that addresses
those weaknesses in order to make customers happier with
your app than the original!
Some of the world’s best products are simply copies of existing
products. Today’s computers are just copies of the original PC
– with significant improvements, of course. There’s nothing
wrong with taking ideas as long as you make major changes
and make the product unique in several ways.
What do YOU Need?
Maybe there’s something you wish your own iPhone could do
that you haven’t seen addressed in an app. This is great,
because if you want this, other people probably do, too!
Make a list of some of the things you would love to be able to
do with your phone, and then search the App Store to see if an
existing app will do it. If not, you might be able to create the
first one! If so, you can always copy and improve it!
www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 6
Outsourcing Development
You don’t have to worry about a lack of programming
experience. Even if you have never written a line of code in
your life, you can still release successful apps.
The main way to create apps without programming is to
outsource the development. If you have very specific ideas for
your app, this may be your only option.
Make sure you hire someone who
has significant experience creating
iPhone and iPad apps. Many
programmers think they know how
to create an app, but soon discover
it’s more complex than they
thought. You should be certain to
hire someone who has already
created apps that work on the
iPhone and iPad, and who can show
you examples.
Never pay 100% of the development cost up front! Try to pay
a 10% to 25% deposit. If the programmer has excellent,
www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 7
verifiable references, you might go as high as 50% up front.
You never want to risk paying 100% up front, no matter how
impeccable their references are. What if (God forbid) they
passed away during development? Anything can happen.
In order to ensure you get the app you really want, be sure
you have as many details as possible about the app before you
start looking for a programmer. You will want to map out
functionality, screen layouts, etc. so the programmer knows
exactly what you want before work starts. This will save you
both a lot of time, money, and frustration.
Also, be certain to get your programmer to sign an NDA and a
NCA. An NDA is a non-disclosure agreement that ensures they
won’t talk to anyone about your app, potentially opening you
up to competition before your app is even available. An NCA is
an agreement that the developer won’t release an app that
competes with yours, and can also prevent them from
developing a similar app for someone else for a period of time.
An attorney can help you draw up these agreements. You may
even want to get an NDA while in the hiring process so you can
talk about your app in detail to ensure the programmer is
confident they can do what you want before you hire him or
her.
www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 8
Software and Services for Development
If you have an app idea that is very simple, you may be able to
use one of the ready-made solutions that are now available to
build your app. These programs and services can create very
simple apps for as little as $30!
Don’t expect to get a custom app that will perform specific
functions for this price. But you could, for example, get an app
that would deliver news and updates from popular golf blogs
and news sites by RSS. Golf fans might be willing to pay 99
cents for an app that would give them the latest news in the
world of golfing at their fingertips.
Services include:

www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 9
Marketing an App
Many app developers erroneously believe that all they have to
do is upload their app to the App Store and sales will magically
begin to flood in. This might happen, but it is extremely
unlikely. The App Store is becoming more and more
competitive all the time, and you must promote your app if you
want to ensure significant sales.
There are practically endless ways to promote an app, but I’m
going to go over some of the best ways to get an app off the
ground quickly.
Forum Marketing
One of the best places to market your app is via forums in your
app’s niche. If you have a golf app, why not market it through
golfing forums?
You definitely do not want to spam your app. Instead, sign up
to the forum and place something like this in your signature
file (usually found in your preferences or control panel.)
www.icreateiphoneapp.com Page 10
“Jim Smith – Creator of the Golf News Blast app for iPhone and
iPad”
If the forum allows links in signatures, you can also place a link
to your app in your signature.
Then all you have to do is post on the forum. Post helpful tips
and advice, answer questions, and be friendly. As you become
more well-known, more people will notice your signature and
word will spread about your app.
Press Releases
A press release is a great way to go, especially if you have an
app that is very unique. If you can get picked up by major
news outlets, you could get a lot of publicity very quickly!
Blogging
If you have a blog in your app’s niche, make sure you post
about it regularly. If not, consider commenting on popular
posts on other blogs in your niche!
