3 Quick Tips To Get Killer Apps To Make You Money

We mention the iphone before. Not to buy it, but rather as an opportunity to find a niche market and to take advantage of the applications that can run on the iphone. When you followed the launch of the iphone or could not avoid the noise in the media about and around the iphone 3G, you might have heard about Apple's app store for the iphone and ipod touch. On that website you can find lots of applications, some for free others to purchase. Much like software you download from your favored site or buy in the store for your computer. Think about it what it really means. Regardless of what you think about the iphone or Apple, for the first time the general public made aware that the internet goes mobile and can be accessed from virtually anywhere anytime with relative ease. You can almost say that the iphone is a mobile palm sized computer with a phone function. Be assured that other makers will follow soon with there own versions. If you seek an other market opportunity, looking for a niche, you might just now discovered one called software. Software that is web based, widgets, applications for facebook, my space or iphone. The iphone applications can be offered for free or against a fee over Apple app store. You create a great software that will run on the iphone, upload it to Apple app store, set a price, done. The app store will take care of the rest, when it makes a sale, it collect the money, takes a small commission the rest is yours. Sounds good. Got already an idea for an application? Now that sounds great if you are a programmer, but its nothing for the average joe or internet marketer, right?! Wrong!! You do not have to know how to program a single line of code and still can make a killer app. What you need is the idea or see where the need is and take ACTION. You always can do it yourself, but you got options - outsourcing options like guru.com, rent a code, odesk, elance and many others where you can find a programmer who is happy to write the code against a small fee. 3 quick tips you should follow or at least have in mind when getting a freelance programmer for the application you want to be written:

1. small task first. No matter what you hear from other, read in forums or find in the feedbacks from the freelancer you want to hire, always test yourself. Give a small program task first and see what the result is. It can be already an aspect of the application or something other small. You always want to check for yourself on how the quality and the programming skills are.
2. be most detailed as possible. So more details and specs you can give to the freelance programmer so better. Every little detail that you can think of the software should have or the way it should function has to be communicated to the freelancer. So more specific you are so better and faster the programmer can be. A huge amount of stress can be saved that way.
3. mock an image. Come up with an image on how the application should look like. Where should be the buttons, what color, and so on. Make an image in photoshop or any other image software you have and give it to the programmer. This way he/she has an idea and can make it the way you want it. You might even end up with a better solution by freely communicating with your programmer.

Following these three steps will help to get your software project done in the faster time with less or no problems. And you can use these tips for any software project you plan in the future.
