Get a great app idea

App Recon LogoDeveloping an app that will really sell is hard and it’s only getting harder. I recognized this and decided to develop a site around helping others find great app ideas.

App Recon includes helpful “Get a Great App Idea” reports based on data analysis of the App Store. The site also has app business strategy articles.

So check out App Recon.  I hope you’ll find it useful and would also love to hear from you about how the site can become even better!

Niche sites are out. Niche-authority sites are in.

75_laptopIn the last week I’ve learned more about niche site building, nullified some theories and refined others. The net result is that I’ve decided to switch from a ‘niche site’ building strategy to one of ‘niche-authority site’ building.

This shift not only makes sense because of my personal sensibilities, but I think it makes sense from a long-term business perspective also.
