While Building Successful Home-Based Business
By Home Business Magazine
The "techie" programmers are not the only ones who have jumped on the iPhone app band wagon. Rita Bruce and Cathy Mitchell, two friends and moms in the Houston area, have knocked down all barriers by taking their idea for an iPhone game to the finish line. They have turned a socially engaging game they play with their spouses, friends and as a party starter into a social networking opportunity, while having the benefits of building a successful home-based business called PeetyCat.
Their game is effortless — no scoring system, no dice, no levels to achieve — and

there are no difficult instructions to follow, thus allowing humor to dictate the momentum of the game. Either Or Game is based on one's desire to laugh and on the natural, human tendency to want to “pick the brain” in an attempt to get to know someone better. Paparazzi Party, their teen game version, is also simple and engaging and is more suitable for those under 18.
In addition to managing PeetyCat, Rita Bruce is in the education field and Cathy Mitchell is in the home staging industry. Rita and Cathy feel the greatest advantage of creating a home-based business is that allows for quality family time due to the flexible hours. A major part of promoting their game app is done through social media networks such as Facebook. Twitter, and their website blog. These promotional tasks can be juggled any time of day or night, without interfering with valuable family time.
PeetyCat’s future endeavors include an interactive version of Either Or Game as well as the multi-player version of Paparazzi Party, their teen version. Through the multi-player version (coming soon), players will be able to play Either Or Game on their iPhones with friends or with random groups without having to be in the same room. What’s in the future for PeetyCat and their home-based business? They have also discussed developing additional iPhone game applications and hope to be around for years to come.

The inspiration for United iPhone Repair came after Vitiello’s iPhone repair business was featured on national news. “I had dozens of people calling me asking if I could help them start a business similar to mine.” Seizing the opportunity, Vitiello compiled a book detailing how to do the repairs and business’ marketing. “Before I knew it,” he says, “I was helping people start iPhone repair businesses all over the nation.” United iPhone Repair is dedicated to helping individuals with all aspects of the business, from learning the repair processes and supplying replacement parts, to advertising and bringing in customers.
