Of all the things you can do to make money, when it comes to stepping it up a notch and conducting your money-making exploits, with the view of learning how to make the first million dollars, getting into the applications industry is a great point to start.

There was definitely a time when the apps industry was only accessible to geeks with a programming background, self-taught and otherwise and prior to that, it was even more exclusive when software companies had right of way to the apps industry.

How things have changed since the introduction of the community based development model, whereby any skilled programmer, with some time and the development tools can contribute their developed apps, to be listed and sold in the marketplace.

A popular example is the Apple iTunes apps store, with apps selling for around $0.99. If just one of your apps makes it onto the apps store, all your marketing is essentially catered for and you can amass downloads exceeding a million since the marketplace is global.

That would be a great way to try to make some good money but, what if you can't program and you're nowhere near being a developer?

If you're not a programmer you could still relish the possibility of making up to a million and more, from apps development.

If you are to make money, to the tune of a million dollars, you would undoubtedly have to come up with different ways of doing things, thinking outside the box and taking a unique look on opportunities that are otherwise not as obvious.

Fortunately for you, some people have already seen some of this opportunity and this allows you the possibility to enter into the coveted apps development world, even if you don't know how to write a single line of code.

Everything comes at a fee though, and if you want to get into apps development, without being a programmer yourself, it will cost you in the region of around $50-$90, to have one developed for you, by a developer who has a decent amount of self-respect.

There are some developers who specialize in offering this kind of arrangement as a service, usually at a fixed price, and they go about their service in a professional manner, handling everything from the development, coding testing and even submission of your finished app, for approval and listing, in some cases, so you'll know you have the best chance of your app succeeding.

What you'll want to make sure to do though, is cover your bases, by way of a None Disclosure Agreement (NDA), which usually comes standard with the decent commercial apps developers in any way.

This makes sure you retain creative rights to your idea of your app and the developer cannot pass it off as their own and potentially claim future profits, should the app take off in a big way.

Getting into the apps development world is now as easy as paying a developer to do it for you and just imagine if one or two of your most useful apps sell a million downloads...
