This depends on the type of functionality you need in your app. Web apps can't implement the full suite of functionality that would be available to a native app, although they are getting closer to that capability. If the functionality that you need can be achieved with a web app, and if you ca...
Mistakes are good for those who learn from them but there is no logical explanation why you would choose to go through a long expensive and time consuming learning path filled with mistakes and 'lessons' when you can just learn as you go from an experienced individual who can help you reduce that...
The first thing you should do is isolate your target market. Asia, India, SA are extremely wide if you're at that beginning stage of just looking at prospects. Once you've narrowed down a couple of regions, then you can do a more in-depth research on the key distributors in these markets. If yo...
If you sell the whole business, then the email list or 'prospect list' naturally comes with this purchase. The challenge in selling just the list is that you actually sell the list such that you're not really just selling a copy. For example, if you sell a copy, then you may fall afoul of spam ...

Most companies are using the freemium approach only cuz it makes sense with their product/service b...
Likely best to setup some phone conversations with people here you find provide advice which seems to resonate with you. USP may be useful + likely better will be to buy highly targeted traffic (to local area) + also use Meetup + other networking venues. Search for my name + Meetup in Clarity +...
I've watched different companies struggle with customer acquisition, and I myself struggled with it. I doesn't matter if its a physical product, a service or an app. Attention costs a lot of money, usually more than we can afford. Paid acquisition should never be your main driver of new users, ...
If you're asking about how to *start* spreading the word, my fear for you is that you haven't done sufficient customer development to validate the need for your app and inform your core product thesis. Failure to do so will almost always end-up in product failure. If this is the case, you might...
