Wow, it’s been great to see the response to Soonr in the Apple app store. We posted just yesterday and we have watched it move from nothing to number 18 and now it has broken the top 10 sitting at #9 currently. We are all watching to see how far it’ll move up today!
The Apple application store is a wonderous thing. I remember the “old days” when you have to hire a marketing firm or do a lot of analysis to understand how your product was being received. Companies were created that charged hundreds of thousands of dollars to measure the effectiveness of an offering or a marketing campaign. The folks at Apple have solved a lot of very hard problems with the application store.
When initially introduced some complained that the 30% fee that Apple was charging was a bit much. Clearly these folks didn’t understand what it takes to create:
- A seamless marketplace
- Easy installation experience on a handset
- Commerce engine
- Alleviate credit responsibilities
- Creation of a website to sell an application
What Apple has done is truly remarkable. Oh yeah, and our application is free. So we pay Apple 30% of $0.00.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of value for free. I love the internet and I love the Apple application store.
Thanks to all the users supporting us by trying out Soonr! Let’s see how far we can move up the scale!
