Well after completing the Android port for Prescriber’s Letter I’m now pursuing other opportunities for contract work. I’ve been chasing leads here and there, some more promising than others, but the good news is that there does seem to be work out there. It’s interesting, so far every time I’ve finished or come close to finishing a project something has popped up to pursue. The ones I’m after right now are long shots, but that’s ok. It gives me time to focus on my own apps again.
As for which of my numerous ideas that all seem like gold mines to pursue, that’s the tough part isn’t it. Time to do research, figure out which one I can do in the least amount of time with the best guess at chance for reward. I need to approach the next app I make differently, I need to bake in all the tricks for attracting attention to it right from the start (Facebook, Twitter, etc…) and also just take the app development in steps. I’ll build something simple first and get it on the store to test the waters. Then I’ll look into expanding features and beefing it up when I see whether it’s a potential seller. I can’t just put my head in the sand like with Photo Resize and pop up after 3 months only to sell a few copies a week.
