Will 2013 be the year of the app?

If you are interested in app development, will this be the year that you move forward with living your dream?

Dan once talked about a magic pill for success, how there's really no "magic pill", but daily actionable steps will definitely lead you toward success.

This is a new year full of opportunities, ESPECIALLY with true iPhone apps and Android apps, and "web apps", or mobile websites.

I have not lived up to the charge that I feel I should by being a 48 Days group host, and I apologize for not being more active, and am taking my own "magic pill", and encouraging you to join me.

Stay tuned, and be prepared to take advantage of all the new opportunities that 2013 has to offer!

Comment by Michael Jones on January 20, 2013 at 8:30pm: Got it. Follow up question. Do you already have a following with a website or a blog for this? I would see this as being something that you could develop that way first, with a mobile website, then have an app that complements it with some of the app content coming in directly from the blog as an RSS feed maybe.

The concept is a good one for an app, possibly, but you have to, as steven covey always said, begin with the end in mind.

Searching for an app like this and being discovered may be your biggest obstacle.

I'd like to learn a little more though.

Comment by Joshua Theodore on January 20, 2013 at 8:15pm: Thanks Scott and Michael for your quick response. What I wish to do with the app is to provide parents with info regarding normal growth and development of a baby in various domains such as physical, language, social development, etc. and in different age groups such as 3-month old, 6-month old, etc. And I would like to do a different app or the same app with tips/ideas to facilitate development if a child lags behind in a certain domain.

Hope this explains what I have in my mind. Will appreciate your feedback.

Comment by Michael Jones on January 20, 2013 at 7:10pm: Yup, or I would be glad to give you some feedback. You have to really assess the cost vs potential for an app these days

Comment by Scott Kantner on January 20, 2013 at 7:01pm: Josh,

Tell us more about what you have in mind. What sorts of things do you envision the app doing? If you are worried about sharing your idea in open forum, feel free to private message me.

Comment by Joshua Theodore on January 20, 2013 at 6:54pm: Hello Group,

I am an Occupational Therapist intending to work on an app related to normal child development. Will appreciate your feedback regarding whether it is an idea worth pursuing? And I am an illiterate in terms of creating an app - so any info regarding steps to prepare the app, cost to make one, and methods of marketing will be useful. Thanks for your time and feedback. Have an awesome day, Josh

Comment by Michael Scott hart on December 31, 2012 at 11:17am: Thanks Michael Jones! I am trying to get myself back into working on apps but it feels like an ancient part of myself that I have completely forgotten about...really weird.

Comment by Michael Jones on December 29, 2012 at 5:33pm: WAY TO GO Michael Scott Hart!! That AdMob revenue starting to flow in is great! Check out RevMob for an alternative ad server, and maybe do some split tests. You can find them at revmob.com, and it's super easy to integrate into your apps - easy SDK integration!

And congratulations on taking action! It's going to be a great 2013 indeed. My plan is like yours - to scale up what I'm doing and fine tune.

Comment by Michael Scott hart on December 29, 2012 at 4:11pm: Getting excited, my admob ads are starting to near $2 a day...and I have not worked on my Android apps for many months! Gonna be a neat 2013!
