1. App Gives You Overnight Success
The story is in front of you. There is no such thing call overnight success. Successful people or I say Indian app developers have spent years to create a masterpiece in this competitive era. It takes them years to pass through multiple failure ideas before they hit the one successful idea. They spend day and night in thinking what works or not. They talk to customers to know what is in demand and what is not. They do everything to make sure they are creating the same what is desirable.
2. Apps Can Make Millions or Billions
Big brands like Facebook or Snapchat can assure millions, but not all. That doesn’t mean an app cannot perform well if it isn’t capable of earning millions. Earning comes later, first comes app’s popularity and usefulness. Some app developers easily give up on app when they found that their app is not making six figures like others. You have to stick with your app if it has started gaining attention. Keep on improving and keep on increasing your audience, you will find your way with a genuine app if you keep some patience.
3. A single app would be enough
No, it’s not enough. Don’t rely on single app even if you are earning well from it. Users never get stick to your app for a long. They keep finding alternatives with advance option. Improving your app from time to time is one thing, having more apps than one is the other thing. If you want to make million-dream come true, you have to apply your app ideas again and again. If one of your app got success, it is a sign that you can create more. Uber is not simply for driving. It delivers food as well with UberEATs. So, keep on releasing new ideas.
4. Word-of-mouth Just Works
No, it’s just not enough. Only word-of-mouth won’t work. I heard the buzz of Pokemon Go from Google alerts not from any friend or relative. The games keep popping up on my news feed since few days. And after hearing about it for 4-5 days continuously I dared to search out what it is and how it works. In short, marketing material should go beyond the word-of-mouth. App SEO, ASO, content marketing, social media marketing, etc., everything is necessary.
5. You Need a Perfect App
I mean to say no bugs, no crashes, just an app that works fine. But what is the meaning of flawless app when it does nothing to solve users’ problem. And another truth of tech is you can’t reach to perfection on one trial. So, don’t run after perfection at first. Your prime priority is to make your app worth for users. Next is, to solve users’ problem with app. Be responsive as far as possible.
Conclusion
You have every reason to stop believing these myths and take steps carefully. Don’t just start walking blindly when you don’t know what you have in hand and which customers are you dealing with. In app world, each thing matters especially if you have big dreams and big hopes.
