Affiliate marketing on iPhone, etc

4 replies
I'm wondering if anyone out there is already making a go of affiliate marketing via iPhone apps, etc.

For example: Say you had a niche market and you had a simple iPhone app created and the app delivered relevant news to your niche, along with affiliate promotions. Use your imagination but the idea is to use the iPhone as the "new PC" and to promote products via this platform.

Is anyone already doing this? Is Amazon making it easy for people to do this for example, given that they have a new amazon.com application out there?

Is it still early days for all of this?

    I personally have bought a couple of apps ranging from $0.99 up to $9.99

    But personally I wouldn't pay more than $10 for an app. It would have to do some pretty amazing stuff in order for me to pay more.

    A friend of my has a couple of apps for sale on Itunes and I asked him how it was going for him.

    He told me that at first he would set up a lower priced app in ITunes and then he was hopping that people would click on his link to visit his site and buy the higher priced apps. However that did not convert at all for him.

    Everyone else was setting in up so you could either test ouf a FREE version or a lower priced version and then upgrade to the premium version. But this was done all through Itunes.

    My friend told me from his experience that people do not go to search engines and type in Iphone apps to buy, they usually do if they are looking for reviews, and then once they made a decision they would then go back to ITunes and buy through ITunes.

    That is his experience.

    The reason I know is because I am doing a JV with him to develop 2 Iphone apps for my niche.

    Money is being made with Iphone apps though.

    And I was playing around with the I think it is called SDK the Iphone developer software. It is actually pretty easy to set up.

    Anyway. If you go on youtube there are tonns of people who have Iphone App review videos with links to their sites. Just like Dooogen pointed out check out Ryan Wade's.

    I'm actually building one app for the iPhone in the Bodybuilding niche that I,m probably going to give for free in exchange of an email. We'll see the results in 2 months

    I have started affiliating with iPhone and believe me it's very good and proven to be worthy for me. And if you think that doing affiliate for iPhone is over than I will say no bro you may join the game it's still going.
