Nature Superhero is App of the Week!

Nature Superhero is App of the Week - Backrs earn a 54% return

In the first week of our Nature Superhero Appbackr campaign, we raised $8,339 which is 35% more than we did in 30 days with our Kickstarter campaign.  Here’s what we have learned.  Although less people overall may contribute to Appbackr (because its unfamiliar), those that take a look tend to invest more than they would have contributed on Kickstarter. This is borne out by the numbers.  Our 138 Kickstarter backers contributed an average of $45.  The minimum for our Appbackr is $100 and the average investment is a whopping $2,085!

As you can see above, the minimum buy is $100 (for 63 units of Nature Superhero at the wholesale price of $1.75), which returns $154 dollars when the units sell at the App market.

Jane McGonigal says Gaming is Very Important for Our Future at TED

Jane McGonigal (@avantgame) believes that games are an important platform for change and that gaming can change the world. She asks the question, what if we could harness all the energy and attention, and focus it on solving the world’s greatest problems? She says “Let the World Changing games begin.” She is predicting that a gamer will win the Nobel peace prize within 5 years; I wonder if she’s thinking herself, especially since she believes in “making the future” rather than predicting the future. Assuming she is right, games in the Real World (RW) genre like Nature Superhero will be particularly important in this process.

Now is the Time

Now is the time to get in.  We expect to sell out of the allotted pre-sale units in the next several weeks.  We are gearing up for a big announcement mid next week about an early customer that will use a “white label” version of the Nature Superhero app. This customer could give the app tremendous reach.  Hint: its not a dot org.  Because Appbackr pays backrs on a “First-In, First-Out” basis, the early you get your units the better.

How You Can Make 54% Return in Several Months

The team at BALANCE Edutainment is working with Appbackr, a digital wholesale marketplace for mobile apps, to fund the development of our new interactive game-app, Nature Superhero. Nature Superhero is the companion Mobile Game app to Pacha’s Pajamas, a Transmedia Experience Platform about a little girl who becomes a Superhero for Nature by organizing the world’s biggest festival with wild animals and plants! In the coming month, Nature Superhero will debut on the Appbackr marketplace as a $4.99 IOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) app. Appbackr has agreed to make Nature Superhero “App of the Week”, help optimize our raise, drive sales and promote Nature Superhero through their networks.

Through Appbackr, a “backr” (a financial supporter) of the Nature Superhero app purchases pre-sale App units and makes a profit of 54% when the units are sold!  If you buy 600 units of the app at $1.75 wholesale price for a total of $1,050, when the units sold through the Apple App Store (starting in April 2012), you will receive $1,620.  That’s a 54% return on investment.

  • You do not have manage inventory, sell or distribute product
  • You buy units wholesale and help promote through social media/web
  • You receive a disbursement after sales occur at the Apple App store
  • You get paid based on a first-in first-out basis whether not you drove the traffic to the Apple store

54% in months is an amazing return for for buying wholesale units of a groundbreaking app before it is publicly available.
