How To Make A Fortune In The iPad Market

Apple's iPad is out and it's quickly becoming one of the most wanted to
toys for 2010. Retails stores are having a hard time keeping enough
stock of iPads on the shelves.
 
With the success and demand of Apple's iPad, there is also a big demand
for applications for the iPad. When the iPhone was released, many
developers and marketers made a bucket load of money selling apps for
it, now the same thing is about to happen with the iPad.
 
If you're new to App creation and marketing you may be a little
overwhelmed by all the technology, but the truth is that it's easier to
create and sell and iPad app than you think.
 
However, to have an app that is successful on the market place is
another story. There are many factors you have to weigh in when going
through the iPad app creation and marketing process.
 
Market Research
 
You may have an idea for an iPad app, but before you even start toying
with your idea, you need to find out if your idea is going to sell.
That's where market research can help.
 
If you research to see what people want or are already buying, you can
adjust your idea to suit. Even if you don't have an idea yet, you can
use your market research to choose the best market to go after to create
 your iPad app.
 
Know How the iPad Works
 
The iPad can do some amazing things and knowing all of its capabilities
will let you design the greatest app that you can.
 
Design
 
The better your app looks, the more popular it will be, and that goes
for the icon too! Your icon needs to be 72 x 72 pixels in .png format
with 90 degree corners, no shine, gloss or alpha transparency. Consult
with your graphic designer about all your design needs for you app.
 
Marketing Your App
 
Just like any product, to sell copies of your iPad app, it needs to be
marketed to be seen by people! Marketing campaigns can be carried out
just like any other product. You can incorporate pre-launch buzz by use
of social media and online forums/groups.
 
One idea would be to make and distribute some free apps along with to
get your name or brand out there which can result in sales of your paid
apps.
 
With this kind of market, the most successful apps are a result of "word
 of mouth" by happy users who tell their friends and write good feedback
 and reviews on the web.
