Apps are the new websites: Years ago, when the internet was new, it was always in the news, that someone made a lot of money from there crappy looking website. Those days are now gone, as the internet is flooded with millions of useless websites, and everyone competing in almost every niche market out there!

Now that mobile apps are here, and technology has advanced to the point that we can manage our work via our mobile phone device, apps are starting to replace many websites – the app market is the new internet.

Millions of people are iPhone fans, they will only ever buy an iPhone, unless they mess up really badly – imagine, all those users just waiting to download your app idea!

How to make money from an app is a different story – most people are trying to copy other apps, and not thinking inside another box; or entering niches that are not yet on the app markets (believe me, there are many).

The disadvantages you face now on researching what people are looking for (because of the lack of an app keyword tool), are actually your walls of protection when you do find what market you will be profitable in.

Introducing Wireframes to all beginner iPhone/iPad app designers and innovators – if you dont know what wireframes are, you shouldnt even be designing an iPhone app, or any kind of design!

Wireframes are basic designs of exactly what you want the application to look like, and what will happen when one button or feature is activated (screen to screen) – as you can see, there are many advantages to doing this, rather than trying to do it as you develop the concept – as wireframes will point out design flaws in the beginning.

If your hiring an iPhone app developer to make your app, then this is even more essential to get your point across – you may think its simple, but the programmer/designer may not – plus, the secret to using wireframes is, designers love it! They have a much easier time following a wireframe and building from there, rather than guessing what the client is asking of them.

There are many free templates available for iPhone and iPad wireframes – you dont need a software as some people are selling – just draw it up after printing the templates – click here for a source of free wireframe templates.

When it comes to finding a great idea to make an iPhone app, most people’s creativity gets very limited to what already exists.

Everyone keeps trying to “think outside the box”; funny thing about thinking outside the box, you actually create a barrier between yourself and your idea (the border of the box you put yourself in!).

Build your App around the following aspects, and you will win everytime:

App Appeal: Does the application appeal to the audience? Does it provide instant return on investment for the person downloading? If you have an app that saves your client $200 a month – this is still not immediate return on investment. You need to make your client feel that they already got the return on their investment (even if the app is free to start with) just after they downloaded.

How can you do this?

By adding sex appeal in the app – make them subtly think that they will get laid if they download the app, and they will be certain to download it!

App Additivity: After your client has downloaded the app, you want it to be addictive as possible; its not good enough to get your clients to download the app. So is your app addictive?

How can you make your iphone app addictive?

There are many ways, but one good method is to make the app free – providing lots of value (for free) and then somewhere in the app, add in-app purchase upgrades. So, for every 8 points of value you provide, add in 1 in-purchase option that your client can upgrade by paying a small fee (this works better than you can imagine!).

- iPhone App Programming

- iPhone App Graphics Designing

- Be Part of the Developers Program (Costs around $100 a year)

- Know enough online and offline marketing skills to successfully launch your app

So, how does one go about making an iPhone app for free?

The sexiest solution I can give you, if your not fully capable with the above check-list - is to TEAM UP!

I used to be allergic to hearing about teaming up for such small projects – but experience taught me otherwise. If your not sure if teaming up is right for you, consider the following points below:

- Two heads are always better than one (you knew that, right?)

- If your team mate has resources of any kind, it will only add to the over all value to your end product

- Multi-millionaires usually team up with other celebrities to launch a new product or service; it makes for a win-win situation – and you don’t have to spread your focus to thin when you have other professionals in the team.

- Yes, you will have to share the cake; but having a piece of the cake is better than having no piece. After your first few launches, who knows what deals you will be able to do because you have the funds to hire professionals next time? Not to mention the experience of building an iphone/ipad app will serve you for your future projects!

The truth is, if you go to the right people, you can easily make your iPhone app for around $350-$700 – some will even throw in an Andriod and iPad app completely free!

The tricky part is finding out how to check the programmer’s potential for developing an iphone app (and if you can trust him) – does he know what he’s doing? Will be applying good programming standards when developing the app? will he steal my app idea? will he properly test the app?

There are so many questions, it can drive you nuts trying to cover every corner making sure not to miss out anything important.

So how do you stay updated on all this?

1. Study iPhone Apps SDK (its like an iPhone app instructions manual for programmers): Studying this does not mean you need to understand it 100%. But you do need to have an idea of what the hired programmer will be doing, and should be doing.

2. Team up with someone who knows programming to some extent; this can benefit you both as you both will have genuine interest in making the iPhone app a successful launch.
