    Well it has been more than 6 months since I worked on my app business. I have not come here in many months. The reason is I have been hit w some really bad luck- major surgery, job change, and divorce. It's been overwhelming. I'm only now thinking about turning my attention back to my side...

    Hi Andy! >From skimming this thread I understand you're releasing apps quickly to get better at creating them, and to learn marketing and ASO? Yes. For the first quarter of my business's existence, I am not really concentrating on profits. My focus is taking care of legal paperwork to...

    Well I submitted app 4 and it got rejected. This was a 'Pokemon' app and it got rejected for trademark content. I have to figure out a way to reuse this code now.

    My process for targeting keywords is: -I pick the top 10 competitors for my app -I collect all of their keywords from App Annie, and I put them into a spreadsheet, I wind up with about 100 or so keywords -While I'm gathering competitor keywords, I think of my own and add them to the list -In my...

    I've signed up to be notified of the next App Empire session, but so far they haven't scheduled any new ones. I have taken Carter Thomas's App Formula course http://www.bluecloudsolutions.com/courses/ and am in his and Muoyo Okome's facebook 'mastermind' groups. At this point I don't think I'd...

    My App 3 is live on the App Store for one day. For this app I wanted to experiment with a Facebook Ads campaign for mobile to see if I can drive downloads to generate some organic growth. I started a 7 day campaign at 40$ a day for the age range of 13-40 worldwide. This app should probably be...

    Well just like SEO there's such a thing as ASO and it's probably just as crucial to an apps success. What you just wrote about web developers and online bloggers is just as true for app developers. It's a ton of hard work and you need to know the marketing side of things. You can't just put...

    Hey Rcaraway1989 - Thanks for responding to me. In the time since I posted that question I've made a few apps, done a ton of research, and contacted a lot of app developers online. I'm really glad you responded. So that's me above :) . Have you listened to Daily Spark podcast? Muouo...

    I've hardly made anything on it. If you figure in costs like - legal fees, Apple Developer account, contractors to do things like graphics, etc. - I've lost money. It's kind of hard to swallow, but I tell myself it's a learning experience, and that the guys making the top money like Carter...

    Having problems. App 1 was up to 100+ downloads a day, and growing fast. Then I made a change to keywords and fell out of rank for some important long tail keywords - and downloads fell - they're now only about 20-30 a day for App 1. I changed the keywords back with my last update - it only...

    Yeah I was able to see the crash logs in XCode and I realized those error logs are garbage! LOL so I installed crashlytics and was able to reproduce the errors locally.
