Nate is what I call a “photopreneur”, someone who’s constantly looking for new and innovative ways to make photographer’s lives easier and more fulfilling — e.g lucrative! His latest project is called StickyApps.

It’s a service his team has created to allow photographers to offer full and personalized iPhone apps to their customers — on a subscription basis. This means predictable reoccurring income that will, if executed properly, only grow over time!

What is a StickyApp?

A StickyApp is mobile responsive web app that can serve as a website replacement. Like a website, it is sharable via a link and looks great on desktop. However, like an app, a StickyApp when viewed on a phone can be saved to the home screen with a custom icon and is viewable offline.

Additionally, StickyApps are characterized as “mobile friendly” by Google; that is, they are mobile responsive so that you only need to create one StickyApp design that will work great on all devices, whether it is a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone. Since they are mobile friendly they will show up higher in search results than sites that are not mobile friendly. This is a huge differentiator for a small business from their competitors.
