Niche Pursuits Podcast: Find Your Next "Niche" Business Idea! (iPhone Apps)

In podcast 19 of the Niche Pursuits Podcast, I was able to sit down with Elaine Heney and discuss her business of building mobile phone applications.  She has currently built over 200 iPhone or Android Apps and only started about a year ago!

I was completely amazed at the success she is having, and knew I had to have her on the show.

Elaine has an interesting story because she's not a programmer and was just tired of working for someone else (sound familiar?).  After creating her first app, she saw a little bit of success...not much, but enough to keep her intrigued by the app market.  As a result, she did something that I could never do...she quit her job before she was really making much money!

She decided that she was going to give herself a few months to do nothing but work on her iPhone app business...and well, it turns out that it worked big time!

She has now built over 200 mobile phone applications and is comfortably living off this full-time business.  She share tips on building iPhone apps and more on her blog at: TheChocolateLabApps.com.

Andreas not only have a very interesting story of how he got started with his business, but he also has some excellent advice for creating a successful launch of an iPhone app. Of course I took and followed some of this advice as I launch my own app, and there are several other points that I will be doing on this app or future projects.  I highly recommend that you listen to the podcast interview below if you ever consider launching a mobile phone app.  The advice Andreas shared here is very unique to anything that has been shared or discussed on this blog before.

Benny Hsu shares how he was able to outsource the creation of his very first iPhone app: Photo365, and make nearly $3,000 in one day.  This is a truly inspirational story and offers great insights for anyone wanting to create an iPhone app.
