Good or bad the trey smith iphone software system

I use a special e-mail address to sign up to every “Internet Marketing” newsletter possible. This week, I noticed a new product launch from Trey Smith about making iPhone app. As a computer science student I was very interested about this “product”.

I land on this page after I click

I noticed many problems:

First this title: Download my free app maker…

Sound like a push button to create an app but it is not.

As you read in the right bottom corner, it is a template ….. Lie number 1.

Make an iPhone app under $200 and then “How I sold over $2000 worth of my app in only 18 days….”

The way it is put together you might think you only need $200 to make over $2000…

Back to reality: the app that he uses as an example cost him more than $200 (thousands….). On top of that he hire the developer full time now.

You might think, ok , it is still a good deal.

There is a twist because the gold rush is not as big as it was before….

Month before this product launch he offer a service or tool (I don’t remember) in exchange that you buy his app.

This all product launch make you think it is easy to build an app. It is not easy. You need the right team with the right idea and with the perfect marketing plan. ( if it was easy I would be richer than Bill gates now )

On top of that you need to compete with big companies like EA in the video games business….

To give a better idea … The daily, from thedaily.com, it is the new app from News Corps. They are spending like 500k a week in their app….

Source (launch.is):

Before you go crazy in this new venture, you should know it is not easy and it is very competitive.

Full Disclosure: When you click a link, I may receive money after you sign up for a service or buy a product. You understand that I have no interest to show you BS service and product stuff

I almost laughed reading this. There is something that dawned on me and it took a long time to see it. 99% of anything to buy online to make money is a lie. The 1% are people who make money using the internet and even that 1% will never tell you how they exactly do it.
If they did they would have competition.

I wouldn’t bother with things like this. You are smart too see through it.

  At least their losing their mojo… from what I see… they are not making as much money as before…

This is the same dude, Taylor Starr, who did Black Ops Hypnosis.

  ahah I don’t think so but it was a funny comment …..

You make some valid points here. I think $200 was how much it cost to create another game based on a game he originally designed ie, same structure, different graphics and name. I think just for the programming / graphics for a middle of the road game / app would be $2k.

But you have to remember this is marketing & sales, it’s designed to tempt you into reading more of what he has to say.

  the course might be good but the reality is you don’t need this course to be successful …if someone can blow that much money ..they should focus on their app and not in this “course” …. that’s my point of view about that ………

Blackysky,

I happened upon Trey’s course and got “the bug” to build some iphone apps. I got some great artists on board, but finding a coder that doesn’t cost $$$ seems impossible. The initial investment for the most basic apps is a minimum $1500, probably $2000 when all is said and done.

Every dev I talk to says there’s no way in hell that the examples Trey gives were produced at the costs mentioned, or in the timelines discussed in his videos. Even guys charging $30-50/hr say it takes at least 2 weeks full time to produce some of the products Treys aid were done in less than 4 days for $200.

Nothing adds up. Obviously Trey is holding back for the sake of selling his coaching services.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much approximately this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something. I believe that you could do with a few % to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

I have seen Treys webinar and I do agree with you that app are not easy to do but his software for building apps App Elite 2 and all what is included…still seams good buy.Moreover you can make social games by redesigning graphics only.

  go for it but trust me Apple is make it harder every year because they want quality now… Trust me they are killing crap every month… I don’t say don’t buy this program but everyone should know it is far from easy …

I think you need to actually do the program to understand the value. There is a lot of great stuff all in that course. It’s up to the person whether he uses it or not. I can tell you now that I’ve talked to a lot of successful indie game developers from that program and it’s legit. I don’t blame you though for this post. I could see how it could upset a few but, as an example, I made a game for $600 (graphics + programming) and average $300/month from it. It’s not exactly $200 but it can be done. I’ve managed to get it down to $420 per game and will continue to find how to lower it more.

P.S. Trey Smith vs. Blackysky… Really? I got money on Trey. Thanks!
