SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONThere's a way to validate this idea and estimate public interest before undertaking a lengthy and expensive development process. Create a landing page with a service like QuickMVP and use an Adwords campaign to drive users to it. The page should have a form to collect emails of interested...- RJ the first

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONThanks hatzil. I will definitely read Appreneur. And I may have to check out dribble because I don't think my UI is that great right now.

SAAS / APPS EXECUTIONRead some books, checked in some code, waiting on LLC paperwork. Got icons back from designer and checked them in. Subscribed to apptopia. In App Empire he discourages founders from also being programmers. I can see why - you are wearing two hats. And it will be hard to scale the way you...- RJ the first

How I went from financial App failure to finding success on the App Store
GOLD!Yeah I am coding myself, if I wanted to hire outsourcers it would be done in half the time (probably not as well though). That's the one advantage going for me. Other people would have to pay thousands to contractors to get this 'learning experience'. And I could go into something like -...- RJ the first

ARTICLE: How to make money as an independent developer.
My question about this article is this. The article suggests that the two ways mobile developers most commonly choose to monetize their apps - advertising and paid downloads, don't really pay. And that the real money is in eCommerce apps for non digital goods, or an affiliate or CPT program...- RJ the first
