Work-From-Home Job Spotlight: App Creator

Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.


Job Description: An app creator develops applications for mobile phones, like Android and iPhone.

Education: None necessary.

Skills: The ability to create and market apps.

Job outlook: If you have the skills, this can be a good fit for at-home employment. However, the marketplace is getting crowded with apps, so you’ll likely have to develop many apps in order to make a decent living.

Possible employers: Apple’s App Store and Android’s App Store provide information for app developers.

Preparation: Think beyond Apple and Android for apps to expand your audience potential. Apple and Android require an approval process before apps are posted to their stores. Have a marketing plan developed for your app while waiting for approval.

Get your foot in the door: Start with one or two apps and have a timetable to add more apps to your library.

Until next time,

Sarah
