Have you ever dreamed of developing your own mobile app? But maybe you’re overwhelmed by how to begin? I’ve simplified the process into eight steps. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Validate your mobile app start-up idea

By validating your app idea, I mean confirming that your product will be wanted—that it will be useful for people. Your mobile app idea remains a hypothesis until the first set of customers actually purchases it.

Tools such as Google Keyword Planner may be used to get insights on the number of people seeking your app idea. This information can also help you build a landing page that highlights your app idea and draws user interest through email signup.
