7 Massive Marketing Mistakes GUARANTEED To Even Kill Killer Apps

Editors Note: I received this submission, and I was reluctant to look at it since there seems to be a flood of marketers trying to cash in as app marketing experts.   I decided to accept this one as it is somewhat different, and didn’t simply provide a simplistic list of tips such as take good screenshots, start a blog, or sell internationally.  Please comment on whether you’d like to see more content on app marketing in the future. – John

2 More Open Source Apps – reMail and RobotFindsKitten

I’ve added two more apps to the open source iphone app store apps listing.

The two apps are reMail, a popular e-mail client that was purchased by Google that provides quick searching, and RobotFindsKitten, a classic DOS ASCII type game ported to run on the iPhone.

reMail is pretty slick, it downloads all your e-mails, and allows you to search them at a very high speed vs. the iPhone’s mail app, apparently it was good enough for Google to buy.

Traffic Ranked Listing Of iPhone App Review Sites

This is a ranked listing of iPhone application review sites that accept applications submissions from developers.  Getting listed on these sites can be a good way to gain exposure for your app, and every little bit helps.

I have filtered out sites that simply track iTunes feeds and list everything in the store.

The listings are ranked based on traffic given by the Compete.com rank.

Big List of Youtubers Who Will Review Your iPhone App

As many of you may have noticed, I have been updating my older resource lists with updated links that have been shared with me in the last few months since starting this site, and I’ve been uploading tutorials/other videos to Youtube.

One resource which I didn’t really think about was Youtube.  I wasn’t really a Youtuber before uploading my videos, but something I noticed was that there is a massive number of people on Youtube doing app reviews.  Usually developers will upload a usage video to Youtube, and ultimately that’s the end of things, it’s hit or miss, and most videos get very few views.  

Designing Your First Apple iPhone App

 

This is the second part of the Developing Your FIrst iPhone App video series that I am creating, specifically in this video I go through the simple design process i use in order to cut down on my development time.  It is important to know exactly where you’re headed before you write your first line of code, it’s been said that at least 1/3rd of your development time should be spent on design.
