Don’t get too excited. We aren’t for a second suggesting that you can become a pro footballer at your age, whatever that may be. Sorry, it’s just the truth! However, if you’re stuck for home business ideas and football is your one true love, you can capitalise on it and earn an income from making an app, depending on your skills. And yes, this can be home, so you’re in control. Here are a few considerations when making your football app.
Building The App Itself
Are you a pro developer? Don’t worry, not everyone is. But if you are – awesome! There are many aspects of this where your skills could come in handy from design right through to coding – or even just the knowledge consultancy. It might be one to plan through with a friend? You’re going to need to get very technical with this and you therefore need to be very honest with yourself about your existing talents and your background. Play to what you know, whether it’s strategy, development, coding or any other aspect.
What’s On The Market Already?
There are already some incredible apps out there for sport and particularly in the online betting industry. An example is in League Cup betting. It’s a genius idea. It’s surely highly popular as an app and the punters are happy, too! The great thing about the Bet365 App is that it actually gives people the news they’re looking for in addition to being able to place an easy bet for some added fun in time for the match. This would have been perfect for the League Cup final in February. That makes it a one stop shop for people to visit. Being useful is the key. It makes people want to return!
Coming Up With A Unique Edge
You could create a football app based on knowledge, like a pub quiz, or come up with a whole new idea of your own. Sadly, we doubt anything like Uber would work. We doubt you can find out which pro footballers are within a certain radius of you. But maybe you could try!
How You’ll Make Your Money
There’s no magic formula for which apps will make money and which won’t. However, you should optimise your app to make the best possible successes. IOS (Apple) still outperforms Android, so you’ll need to test your app works on the iPhone. This is so important. When it comes to money making, mobile app advertising revenue is on the increase across the world, although less than 15% of app developers make more than $10,000 a month from this method. .
A football app might not be how you make your millions, but it can be fun to develop and watch it grow for some added pocket money. If you have some skills and a whole lot of passion for something, it is possible to make a career of it. Working in football doesn’t need to mean freezing on a field, and it can suit us slightly more homely – or geeky – people quite perfectly!
