How to make money with Android Apps!

Summary: You will be a success at developing and selling Android apps. Read the following blog and turn that success into a career.

First: Direct your focus towards providing your users/customers a high value benefit. If you’re designing and building games for mobile users, you need to maximize the use of your mobile experience.  Angry Birds is a strong example, which will illustrate  this point. Notice that the game play is user friendly and you can quickly advance to the next level. Being able to advance rapidly hooks you on the game. Angry Birds is ideal for mobile apps. Having long term success in digital media is your biggest challenge, We have seen huge companies rise and fall in  a short time. Being flexible enough to evolve is the key to your success, but you still  need to develop a real feeling for what works in digital media. 

 When you discover that idea, which  catches on, what is your next plan of action?  How do you turn your idea into profit? 

There are four ways to make money with mobile apps.  The most popular is through paid downloads, in which you establish a fixed price for your app, customers download and purchase it.  The transaction usually ends at that point.  You may find an exclusive sponsor for your application.  Finding a sponsor  is not an economically sustainable method of monetizing your application, but it may help you establish yourself to make your next killer app a success.  There are the increasingly prominent in-app purchases, in which your customer might not have to pay anything at the beginning (”fermium”), but will have the opportunity to make purchases within the app to enhance the user  experience. Finally, you may want to sell advertising space within your app. Provided you have a good match between the demographics of your application and the advertiser. You will need a  large enough installed user base to support the volume of impressions needed for profit, this will make you more money than you will receive with a pay-per-download model.  I strongly recommend developers mix and match business models to reflect the demographics of their particular app audience. The more monetization strategies you employ, the larger your profit. 

What about the marketing of your APP? 

With over one Million mobile apps in the world, user competition is fierce. You may create the greatest app in the world, but if you can’t get the word out about it, nobody’s going to download it. 

Should you worry about software piracy? 

If you’re developing apps for Apple users, you won’t need to stress about it. Apple is committed to copyright protection, and the company has done a successful job protecting the E-commerce system.  Apple is not the only company in the universe, and piracy is becoming a problem with Android apps.  At ABCO Technology, we’re teaching you about a strategy that will display ads in pirated apps, so that you continue to make money from your advertisers. If you don’t develop applications for Android you’re missing out on a huge market segment. In a recent Mobile Apps Insights Report, which covered August through October of 2011, we found that 31.1% of mobile ads were displayed on Android devices. Piracy is  not a problem if you focus on ad supported apps. Unlike Apple’s apps, Android apps are available through multiple stores worldwide, so your potential for exposure will be higher than you can believe.

ANDROID APP SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT

Welcome Developers! If you are new to the Android SDK, please read the blog below for more information about the Android SDK and how to install the Android SDK. A software development kit  is typically a set of software development tools that allows for the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar platform.
It may be something as simple as an application programming interface (API) in the form of some files to interface to a particular programming language or include sophisticated hardware to communicate with a certain embedded system. Common tools include debugging aids and other utilities often presented in an integrated development environment (IDE). SDKs also frequently include sample code and supporting technical notes or other supporting documentation to help clarify points from the primary reference material.
Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware, and key applications. The Android SDK provides the tools and libraries necessary to begin developing applications that run on Android-powered devices.
ABCO Technology offers the Android Training Program for developers to program and develop Apps for the Android platform.  The course “Develop Mobile Applications for Android” provides students the tools to develop applications in the classroom for a production environment using the Android SDK.

Computer repair, learn your way out of the recession.

Since 2008 the US. Labor Department has reported over thirty million Americans have lost their jobs. Finding new employment in this competitive job market is extremely difficult, especially if you don’t have the new skills employers demand, which are critical to your future success. Employers are hiring applicants in the field of computer repair who have earned a certification from CompTia to repair a personal laptop or computer . In the field of information technology, having a resume, which states you can fix a computer or a network will not cut it with most employers in today’s job market. Insurance liabilities, lawsuits, and benefits offered by large PC manufacturers to employers who hire a CompTia certified employee have changed the way new jobs are applied for and found.

In addition to working for a company, some students have decided to open their own business fixing computers in their local area. Self employment is an exciting option and your new school should provide you some helpful information concerning how to get started.

Many students have enquired about what to look for in a good computer repair certification program or school. We’ve prepared a short list of what we believe will be helpful to you in finding a program, which will contribute to your personal success.

1. Find a school, which has small classes, usually teaching to a maximum of 8 students.

2. The School’s instructors should have at least five years of teaching experience and currently work in the field.

3. Your school should offer on campus testing so students will not have to travel when they need to take a certification exam.

4. The instructor or school should provide hands-on training and have a large number of personal computers where students can physically work with the components.

5. Talk with other students who are currently attending the school. Most schools will encourage you to chat with their students.

6. Ask the student recruiter to allow you to audit a class. The majority of schools will encourage you to attend one class and meet their instructor.

7. Your future school should offer flexible payment plans or have financial aid if they are nationally accredited.

8. Ask to meet the school’s job developer. A successful school who teaches computer repair will have a job developer who will provide you knowledge of jobs in your local community. Ask to talk with a student who has graduate from the program and found employment.
