WHY ENTREPRENEURS ARE BOUND TO FAIL AS APPRENEURS

 Who are appreneurs? 

There is no point in looking for it in a dictionary, as it has not made its place there yet. Though with the first knock off it on ear drums you can have a rough idea about what it is. This is a neologism bringing the terms entrepreneur and application software together. 

So, saying that an appreneur is an entrepreneur willing to capture the mobile application market.If you don’t trust me, grab some recent stories and you’ll find out how some teenagers made million and billions after being an appreneur. If they can be one, so can you, it’s just that there are certain traits that you need to have. Let’s know these traits: 

Key ingredients to be an Appreneur 

Be it anything (including being useless) you wish to be, there are certain things you need to have in you. If you wish to join the race, here are some key ingredients that you need to have in you: 

• Commitment
• Creativity
• Talent
• Passion
• Old enough to use a phone

Is it that easy to be an appreneur? 

After reading the list above and the recent success stories of some teenagers you might have made a fairy world, in which a magic wand moves and everything appears just in front of you. I’d be loyal, but being an appreneur isn’t an easy thing. 

You can find the examples of entrepreneurs who have failed to be a successful appreneur. Yes, it isn’t an easy task if you sideline some small points. 

Why do entrepreneurs fail as appreneurs?

1- The app stores: The way being an entrepreneur you study your target market, the same way here you need to understand the application market. Now wait, before you skip, keep in mind that both the app stores have different best practices and guidelines. You need to by heart them. You need to surf through top charts and browse categories, new trends, and publishers. 

Also, you need to learn App Store Optimization in order to be visible in app stores. If you successfully crack this, you can make your application and journey as appreneurs kick start towards all your targets. 

2- Learn to learn from others: “To err is human and forgive is divine” but to learn from other’s mistakes is the art of being successful. Studying successful app stories always might motivate you but simultaneously you need to learn about those who failed. Try to understand the reasons, which stopped them from being successful. 

A comparison between ranking applications and those who failed to will give you a sneak into what to do and what not to. Once you understand whether if the possible reason was the interface, reviews, concept, or the User experience, make sure you don’t repeat it. 

3- The technology used: Just like the platforms to build mobile applications, you have the option to choose the technology for your application. Like you have Java for Android applications and Swift and Objective-C for iOS applications, or you can choose a cross-platform. 

But before you chose any of them, you need to be sure that you are well aware of them and you have the idea as in which technology will suit you the best.

4- Data analysis is vital: You can’t afford to sideline this point in order to attain the success. You need to check the analytics of your application daily. Keep an eye on the patterns and trends that are positive. There are platforms which can help you correlate your data with your application’s performance. 

Once you have your hands on to this, you can march your way towards the other benchmarks in data analysis in order to have a deeper sneak.

5- Practice is compulsory: This one is just like the way you used to do things during school says. Read, write, analyze, and repeat. Try new tools, read blogs related to app development and marketing. Learn about the aspects related to the industry and make sure that this is all that you have to do.

It isn’t just the ‘man’ who gets perfect with practice, but eventually it’s your application and the career as an appreneur which will become perfect.

Conclusion:

Just like the other industries, the app market is highly competitive and needs a lot of knowledge, research, and patience. You need to be both calm and vibrant at the same time. But believe me when I say that this all is possible, you just need to be passionate about it.
