    Thanks!! I'm still pushing and definitely not giving up. Thanks for the encouragement. And somehow I completely overlooked cross promoting with an animal app. Considering the size of my niche then I might just have a developer out there willing to do so. Thanks for the tip!

    Thanks! It was really cool to know that Chad took the time to look at my app. Now he just needs to contact me to cross-promote haha Things are going ok. The paid app has received around 150 downloads over the past 6-7 weeks it has been live. The paid app had nearly screeched to a halt in...

    "Own Nothing, Control Everything"

    HOT! 
    I agree with Global Wealth that this quote refers to trusts, but I also think that Rockefeller is pointing towards a broader view and a mindset and not just referring to finances. The Rockefeller family managed to form a vast amount of indirect ownership over national and global economics...

    Update 8-2-12 Currently have two new versions of the app waiting for review by Apple. I made an email signup splash page for the free version so maybe I can have a list to email for the launch day. AppGuerrilla.com/DogCap-Free I did some more keyword tweaking for this update and also changed...

    I agree that I have to hit a wider share of people, but I think I am stuck with only changing my marketing efforts and targeting. I don't think I really have the option of expanding DogCap to other animals because of the name, icon, captions, etc. I'm pretty sure there is a large enough market...

    Building an App Company

    EXECUTION 
    I like the icon with the white car and the colored background. I agree with Jake though, they don't look very polished or crisp (which I understand if they are rough drafts). The app icon is interesting and I like that concept you are using...makes me want to find out more about what the app does.

    Update 7-26-12 Ok, so it has been about 3-4 weeks with my app in the store and I have decided it is time to make a few changes and test the results. The reason I am making changes is because my downloads have slowly made the slide downwards and almost seem to be stalling. I am seeing virtually...

    I did make a unique hashtag #DogCap to be automatically applied to anything shared via Twitter, along with the iTunes URL for the app. I didn't want to make sharing automatic or required simply because I don't like being forced to share anything so I would't want to do that to my customers. At...

    You are probably right about it converting better, especially to a mass audience. I thought about doing IAPs or doing a FREE & PRO version but it was going to elevate development costs, complexity, and extend our release date. I still have the option of updating my paid app with more captions...

    Starbucks & the Fastlane

    I'm glad I'm not the only person who "people-watches" with a Fastlane outlook. I hate going to Wal-Mart now because of how cynical I get when I'm there. I stand in line watching people's conveyor belts and have to keep myself from shaking them!

    You are so right! Great advice! I've spent so much time casually networking on Twitter that I pretty much gave up on privately contacting bigger names in the industry. All it takes is one response and I think a 5 minute sacrifice to send an email is worth the investment. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the suggestions! Regarding the Facebook groups, how did you handle addressing the group? Were you able to contact the administrator of the group and have the administrator agree to check out your app or did you just post on the public wall and received feedback from the other members...

    My iPhone App Journey

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Update 6-17-12 So...after two weeks I have reached my first milestone goal: 100 Paid Downloads! I know that may not seem like much, but considering that this is my first attempt at a potentially-fastlane business it is nice to see the first dollars being made in my 'Fastlane Account'. I had to...

    No, cancellations really hasn't been an issue for me. I would definitely Google that (if you haven't already) to find out what number of cancellations is "normal"...just to make sure you aren't running up against some kind of app store bug. I thought Apple was "perfect" and "bug free" and it...
