Congratulations! I just released my first app on the Windows 8 App Store the other day, but went about it a little differently. I decided to build the absolute simplest app I could think of – the kind of app that really could be completed in 48 hours. The goal of this app was to get something into the store. Even if I don’t get any downloads, this app served its purpose for me. Now, I have the whole infrastructure in place for my future apps. I have a checklist of what I need to do. My accounts are all set up. I’ve seen some of the potential bumps in the submission process. Having successfully been through the process once, I don’t have that in my mind as some huge hurdle, which could demotivate me from even starting another app. Now it’s time to focus on building something that solves a problem that people are willing to pay for.
