When I was a kid I got given a book. It was called Just Say No.
It was mostly a ‘stranger-danger’ warning.
I can say no to getting into a strange man’s car, but it is really hard for me to say no to helping people.
And this is one type of project I’m going to say no to.
I think everyone has to stay in their area of expertise and ‘zone of genius’.
And I’m going to be honest with you: I don’t believe I can help you fund your app.
Even if it is the best idea in the world, there is one universal truth:
People don’t put value on apps
AND apps cost a lot of money to make.
The maths just doesn’t work out. Everyone is used to getting their apps for free. $9.99 is a very expensive app.
The highest funded app on Kickstarter right now makes a film about every day of your life. It’s a pretty awesome idea… but it only bought in $56K.
And every app producer who has approached me wants at least $200,000.
Getting enough people to stump up the amount you need is very, very difficult – and to be totally honest with you, not worth my time.
But don’t let that stop you chasing your dream.
Apps DO fund with the right goals. So take a look around the rest of the site, use the hints, tip,s and resources, and feel free to prove me wrong!
