Anyone know where I can learn how to create games for Kindle?
Hey Trey,
I love your work. Very inspiring. I have a medical practice and I’d like to build an for our patients, but more of a game. In others words I’m looking to gamify an accountability activity.
Question? When looking for a programmer…
What am I looking for? Someone good with a particular skill?
What about trusting the developer? How do you ensure they won’t take the idea and run with it?
Would you consider working with a large corporation that develops or do you like individuals?
From your experience what are the pros & cons to working with a developer overseas?
Any other thoughts about selecting a developer?
Thanks,
Julius P
PS I’m meeting up with Frank on the weekend of 6/21-23. He is doing a Highly Paid Advisor private seminar. Any possibility of you stopping over to share your success with the group. That would be awesome!
Yeah! When are you coming to the South. I have heard your seminars are absolutely incredible. I have heard a lot of people say they can really jump start your app development business and we or at least I could really use some secrets.
Trey. You have really inspired me. Thanks for all your hard work!! Will you be doing any seminars in the south anytime soon?
Just found your blog. Man, this site is a wealth of information! How are you able to juggle so much? You are kickass!

I want to buy your Iphone app system .. how do I get it
Hi there. Just have some questions to ask.
I really see the big opportunity in making (having good ideas for) iPhone apps, and i wanna give it a go.
1.Where to begin?
2. Is odesk.com the best place to hire programmers (looks kind of unprofessional, and the best cost like a tons of money)
3. other good tips?
Greeting from Norway!

Bad for them, good news for us?
@TreySmith… I wish everything in life was so simple.
Let me know if I need to fix it for you (though I assume you have your own guys doing nerdy stuff).
Great website but how to get back to the VIP section?

Gotta sign back up then bookmark it
Dude, you totally inspired me and my partner to build our own software & we definitely plan to SaaSatize / sell it… thanks for that motivation my man.
I also wrote this: http://www.arshammirshah.com/business/the-4-logical-reasons-that-make-software-businesses-awesome — Definitely scraped some ideas from you and should toss in a link in there for ya…
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the positive feelings and all the best bro,
Arsham
Trey-
I enjoyed your webinar with John Reese on the Iphone, Ipad apps. I asked you a question on the call about financing and would love to learn more about that when you are prepared to move in that direction.
All the best and abunadance to you,
Jack Collins
i love you trey!
Trey, in your RSS feed today, Saturday June 18th, you asked for a new tool we wish we had. I would like to see a password app for my iPad and iPhone, so I could have my passwords all in one place everywhere I go!
Robin, check out “password keeper” on the app store. I have it and I LOVE it. I highly recommend it. It stores all passwords, is legit, and can auto-sync and it has never been hacked into, thanks to the computer genius of Phil Zimmerman.
Site is still under construction, I’ll have the VIP section updated in 24 hours and ready to roll out the contest!
Just watched the video of Anthony talking about the methods he used in the infomillionaire product to make tonnes of cash in his first year and now I really, really want it but as I quickly discovered, it’s not available anymore. Where can I go to learn about this stuff now?
