How to make money on Android TV: use of the device for commercial purposes
A few years ago the device that extends the functions of the TV or other similar equipment was released.
This technology is part of the Android L and designed to restore Android on the big screen living.
However, there are hidden more serious prospects than just a collection of toys and the ability to watch movies …
Let’s start with the fact that Android TV is not just for entertainment and fun pastime of users, it helps to make money for developers.
The combination of these factors opens a lot of perspectives, because thanks to their Android TV can be used for commercial purposes:
After developing an Android app with app development companies, you have to work hard, have to fund the plans for successful promotion of your app and be at the top in Google Play.
In 2017, Google announced that they reached the incredible mark of 2 billion users per month.
Even an excellent app should be promoted to the top.
To send news about your project, do not forget to add social forms widget, as well as add a form for mail.
This is an advertisement that you stumble in the mobile version of the search engine, driving in some type of query.
While you are in conversation with a prospective enterprise app development company, ask them these simple (yet Important) questions:
Questions that you must ask yourself:
Have you done a user dipstick?
As an entrepreneur looking to create an app around a concept can be blinding.
If you are an Enterprise, a user dipstick may not be enough, and you must back your app outreach strategy with deep market research that can often lead to invaluable data about competitors and precise figures about what worked and didn’t work for them and hence look into what may work for your app.
Simply a rehashing of what has already worked will not be tenable in the longer run.
So, ask yourself – is this unique? Is this being a Zero to One concept?
Questions that you should ask your enterprise app development company:
- How heavy will the app be?
Depending on the markets in which you are launching your app you must factor, and be aware of, the size of your app. Say your focus is to launch in emerging markets and these typically have devices with lower me memory and storage caps of 8GB.
When this happens, users are mindful of the space your app takes up. A 100 Mb app will be the first to get deleted. Aim for an app with no more than 5 to 10 Mb and remember that the lower you can keep it the better it is. It significantly impacts user conversion and uptake when your app is light.
Will the app they make be data efficient?
You need to make sure that your app doesn’t consume excessive amounts of data on 3G or 4G. An app which does so is likely to be relegated to the Apps directory of a user’s Google Play store account until they one day realize that it drains the battery – and then it’ll be deleted.
Will the app they make be fast?
It’s 2018 now, and nobody likes slow apps anymore. Your app must be at the top of the list when it comes to speed, since in this fast-paced age, a difference of so much as a millisecond can be the difference between having or not having a user.
How will they use the Android platform to their advantage?
If you are making an app on the Android platform, there needs to be something in it that leverages core OS features to make the app better.
Without this little edge, it might as well be a generic app on a generic platform. Moreover, with constant updates coming out for Android, your app will have to continuously factor those in as well.
These are some small questions through which you can get a concrete understanding of which factors your android app developer or company will be considering while they make your app.
Always keep in mind that they may or may not be taking into account the factors discussed above – it’ll depend on the nature of your app and which purposes it’ll exist to serve.
Once you have a clear idea of what you want, and whether the company serves needs like stated above, you can be surer of the value they will add – and you can then focus on making the app tick, while they partner you to ensure it does.
