Praise for App Empire"When I started making apps, I was generating about $25 per day. Then I met Chad. Using the techniques that Chad told me in just one meeting put me in the top twenty of the app store multiple times. Read this from beginning to end, as it truly has secrets that are making people millions. "
—Trey Smith, iPhone game developer
"Chad challenges the status quo in the mobile app space. His proven system breaks down the daunting tasks of researching and creating apps all the way through to marketing and monetization. App Empire is a must-read for anyone already in the app game or anyone who wants to quit their 9-to-5 for a long-term, sustainable business."
—Amish Shah, cofounder, DigiSpace Solutions
"Chad is a total gangster when it comes to iPhone apps. The money he has made in such a short time is astonishing."
—Frank Kern, highest paid Internet marketing consultant in the world
"Make millions with apps while traveling all over the world? Well, there is a book for that, and you're holding it in your hands. I've seen firsthand the amazing results Chad's strategies can produce in the app store. Seize this opportunity to become a top appreneur and join the growing ranks of the new rich."
—Tayfun Karadeniz, leading iPhone app monetization gangster
"The strategies for making money with apps detailed in this book are 1) proven, 2) effective, and 3) simple. There are very few people in the app space equipped to author this book and Chad is one of them. My best advice is to not only READ the book, but EXECUTE."
—Alan Johanson, successful appreneur
"It's not just about having an idea. It's about executing it. As the app market grows, it's getting harder to gain visibility, and visibility is the key to success. This book breaks down the process into understandable concepts. It guides you step by step in executing the most efficient way to gain that visibility you need. Chad has it down to a science."
—Michael Moon from Free the Apps!
