The extra we fail, the extra we develop and the extra information we achieve to extend our likelihood of future success.
So I had an thought as soon as. It was superior, for my part. I believed it could be cool to create a gaming app the place you would flick round icons from different in style apps. The problem could be conserving them from hitting the underside of the display and they might fall down with gravity. That’s not it – we’d additionally use icons from among the hottest apps on the App Retailer, there could be energy ups and there could be distinctive bonus ranges all through the sport! That sounds nice doesn’t it? I believed so
To get this loopy little thought (the following Offended Birds as I known as it) off the bottom, I spoke with a developer that I discovered after sifting by means of a sea of in all probability over 50 builders who didn’t need to work with me on a profit-sharing foundation (that is one other story that I received’t get into). In the event you’ve learn my article about persistence or my open letter to the Australian Purple Cross Blood Service, you in all probability know that I don’t give up very simply.
Throughout improvement of the app, I went by means of the App Retailer and analysed hundreds of app icons like an employment company in search of out particular expert staff (I couldn’t give you a greater simile). I will need to have checked out nicely over 2,000 app icons and contacted about 100 app builders who had app icons that I appreciated. Nearly all didn’t reply however I received about 25 responses and I ultimately received permission to make use of 18 icons from sort builders, together with the Temple Run developer.
After over 6 months and over 100 hours of improvement, testing, talking up my app and discovering app icons to incorporate, Gravityicons was born.
I used to be so excited to launch “the following Offended Birds” and was so certain that it could achieve success. I had beforehand created, launched and marketed 3 apps that have been within the prime 100 on the App Retailer and I anticipated this to be one other enormous hit.
I launched it! It failed! worse than I may have ever anticipated. Actually, it has made lower than $1,000 up to now. It failed so unhealthy that I’ve made it free and I truly get about 30 downloads a day now.
Individuals on the whole prefer it and it will get 5 star opinions however individuals received’t pay to obtain it. I ought to in all probability be trying into a unique income mannequin.
p.s. I’m wondering how many individuals are considering “so this man wrote an article about persistence and now he’s speaking about how he failed and he isn’t even making an attempt a unique income mannequin with a product that his prospects like, he’s an fool”.
My response: some issues are price pursuing like your life is dependent upon it and different issues aren’t, when your time might be utlised extra successfully in different actions. I really feel like my time is best spent in different areas as a substitute of making an attempt to revive an app that’s just about in it’s grave.
What do you assume? Obtain Gravityicons at no cost from the App Retailer and please give it a great evaluate in the event you like my app or me. And no there isn’t an Android model, cease asking!
