What type of app to make? Here is the answer - videos by a guy with 45 apps & 35 million downloads.

I've spent about 18 months making apps using the wonderful Buzztouch :) Most have sold in various amounts, but I made them solely because I had access to already written content. While I can make apps, my struggle was the marketing and knowing BEFORE I made apps how they would sell. No point sending a few weeks on an app that no one downloads :) Anyway, long story short, I came across a guy who has great view on what apps to make, and how to best promote them. Hes got 45 apps made, totaling 35 million downloads & has made a series of videos. Here are a few links, hope you find them useful too!! The 1st video is worth a watch, overview of how he got started: http://appempire1.com/aff/?p=Irishnh&w=ael1 He goes through the 7 rules you must learn if you want to have success using iPhone Apps. Honestly its really useful stuff for anyone thinking of making apps: http://appempire1.com/aff/?p=Irishnh&w=ael2 App store success stories which pretty inspiring stuff. From non-techies to developers who needed a marketing strategy, to a 10 year old boy who is now making his own apps. Video: http://appempire1.com/aff/?p=Irishnh&w=ael3 And lastly hear how one developer got into the top 25 apps in his category through optimising keywords! Love this, reverse engineering at its best.: http://appempire1.com/aff/?p=Irishnh&w=ael4 I'm not putting this info into practise for my next apps, so will report back on how I get on. Being able to make apps is wonderful, but making a handle on WHAT APPS TO MAKE I think is pretty inspiring! Cheerio from Ireland, (I haven't forgotton about your European debut David!) Elaine.

Hm. Seems like it was a course of a sort. And apparantly it's no longer for sale?
