Default Promote your iPhone app through MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com

The Million Dollar iPhone Application - Own a piece of iPhone Application history!

My name is Bilal Ahmed and have created a site called MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com, a concept similar to milliondollarhomepage.com but very specific to iPhone/iPod application only.

You know how tough it is to market iPhone application once it gets down to the list in App Store. Even if it's not then you will have a chance to get more sales as MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com will be up and running for at least 5 years but my idea is to keep it forever.

There are 1,000,000 pixels (blocks of 10x10 pixel) on the page. Each box (10x10 pixels) cost only $25! That's right only $25! This will give you a marketing for your application for at least 5 years. Where you can get that for that piece of money!!!

Please visit MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com or contact me at bilal@MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com for more information.

Own a piece of iPhone Application history!

Regards,

I'm sure you've taken this into consideration, but what do you offer for $25 that goes beyond what is offered at Thousand Apps for $13? I know that Thousand Apps is promising the site will be there forever.

I really appreciate your query regrading MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com!

I will keep the site forever! Nobody can actually claim that because domain name registration is not for ever. I will keep renewing the domain after every 5 years.

Million Dollar website idea is a proven one so it will get more Marketing mileage out of it and soon on the site I will be offering a prize of $1000 for every 100,000 pixels sold. It will be a lucky draw and anybody who subscribe on MillionDollariPhoneApplication.com site including iPhone developers (who bought pixels on the site) will be included in the draw.

Thanks,
Bilal

Default Only one app so far?

It looks like only one taker for your site so far. Maybe you need to start at a lower price to attract customers? For me, $25 is a risk for a site that has not yet gotten any sort of track record? Just my 2 cents.

Yes; I recall thousand apps actually gave away the first bunch for free.

Btw...the one app that I saw was not available on the app store when you click it.

Look, if you want this to work, and i doubt it ever will, then you HAVE to give away the first 1,000 spaces, at least.

Nobody in their right mind is going to give you $25 when you have only got one application on there.

Just my advice.

It worked once. It may work again (the 1000th time). Unfortunately the idea is really used already. You would need more attraction to get well known.

I would submit my app for free to make your site a bit more attractive. Then you have to market market market, so you get visits and developers think, it may be a good investition...

Default OK first 50 10x10 space for free!

Alright I have heard you guys! To promote the site I am giving away free space. Provide me following information:

. Send me your app image in gif, jpg or png format.
. URL of your app
. Title
. Email

I will give away first 50 10x10 for free. One per developer.

Also, I have reduced the price to $10 for 10x10 pixels.

Go ahead! there is no excuse now

Thousand Apps (Thousand Apps!) is just a copy of the million dollar homepage and that's pretty clear.

Despite of that, it's a unique idea of its kind because it's the first that involves iPhone applications. The idea would suck because it's just a copy of the famous site, but Thousand Apps is working because they had the idea first and because the price is pretty cheap.

$25 for a very small space is not a good investment.
I don't see a good future for this project.

Let's leave Thousand Apps alone. We don't need many of these sites, I think.
