Make money with iphone apps store : Great oppurtunity for Indian Techies

18 August 2008 289 views 3 Comments

I am not sure if Techies in India have realized the oppurtunity that the iphone store presents to us. I think this is one ares that is begging to be dominated by us. Surprisingly I have not seen much enthusiasm about the same in the Indian blogosphere.

Think about it. The apps store has sold apps worth more than 30 million $ in 1 month alone. Even after taking apple’s cut from this the developers have made 21 million $ or 80 crore rupees in 1 month!!!! source

Why do I say this domain is begging to be dominated by us? Because of the long tail phenomenon. The top 10 apps accounted for only 9 million or just 30% of the total.

It means that there are lot of apps that made small amount of money. What is one strength that is required to win a fragmented market like this?? It is the ability to be the low cost producer. Which country has that capacity in abundance?? That is the logic for my conclusion that the iphone apps market shall be completely dominated by Indian techies.

Only if we wake up to the oppurtunity fast enough. The window of oppurtunity remains open till the apps market gets its dominant player.

    I completely agree. I have researched the topic thoroughly and I think whoever moves fastest to supply consulting on iPhone as well as produce AppStore apps for the public will be very well positioned.

    I agree with it. I already started tapping the market and i did few simple applications but i targeted few for Indians. Honestly, i made money in 2 digits after a while. The intention was to have something for Indians and improve it. For other applications, there were so much competition. I can see that it will become worse when indian in India tap this market. It’s really easy to start providing iPhone Consulting and make a good amount of money in India. I am waiting to see that happen in less than 3 months.
