Inside Apps: How to break into the business

More than ever, people are using apps to augment the capabilities of their smartphones. They can remind you of your next meeting, play the latest Lady Gaga song, and make catapulting virtual birds into evil pigs a family pastime.

Likewise, they're increasingly important to the technology world. The apps market is expected to generate $9 billion in revenue this year and nearly double that next year, according to Gartner. The lack of apps, meanwhile, has crippled some smartphone platforms. Just ask Research In Motion and its BlackBerry line, or for a more dramatic example, the folks at Palm, now part of Hewlett-Packard.

As such, I thought it was a perfect time to start a regular column that focuses on apps. Inside Apps will do exactly what its name says and dive into the inner workings of the business of making, promoting and selling applications. Each week, we'll look at some of the common issues developers face, highlight unique applications, and profile luminaries in this field, all in an attempt to pull back the curtain on this burgeoning industry. Don't worry, after this week, the long-winded introduction will be gone.

This week, I look at a common dilemma for novice developers: the need to drum up the necessary attention to get consumers to actually download the app.

It has to be overwhelming for a developer to starting in this field. Even if you build a good app, how do you stand apart from the hundreds of other apps that emerge each day? How do you dethrone the top sellers? It's not easy, but there are a few tricks to give you a leg up.

Good partners Few of us can do it alone, and that's never truer than in the mobile applications business. The right partnership can vault your app into the best-sellers list, and from there you can sustain your own momentum.

Take Gary Gattis, chief executive of Spacetime Studios . He already had a hit game with Pocket Legends for both Apple's iOS mobile software and Android but still opted to work with Sony Ericsson to jointly promote the Xperia Play smartphone, which initially launched with Verizon Wireless. Some promotions included vanity items in the game tied to Sony Ericsson and a presence in the handset manufacturer's booth at E3.

The work paid off and the company's next game, Star Legends, began its beta test as an exclusive on Verizon's VCast store in July (the game has since gone beta in the Android Market). The "holy grail," Gattis said, is to get his game preloaded onto a phone.
