Getting your app out to the millions is part of almost every app maker’s plan, but the question remains: how can you distribute your app effectively? There is no true answer as to the best distribution method. This is because there are numerous ways in which you can distribute your Android app.
Appsgeyser offers every app maker a free APK code. It is possible to download the free APK from your AppsGeyser platform to use for multiple distribution platforms. The following tips will help you maximize the distribution of your Android app.
Traditional distribution – App markets
The first place everyone will consider distributing their app is via an Android app market. The most obvious place to distribute your app is in an Android app market. There are numerous Android app markets available, with the most popular of all Android app markets being GooglePlay. Through online and app market searches, app users will be able to find and download your app, this is called organic app search. The better you have optimized your app the more chance it will have of being found through organic searches. From experience, app makers that have more than 7 apps in an app store will experience higher placements in app searches and thus higher download levels.
Email distribution
Email has been a popular marketing tool for some time. This tool has transferred to app distribution too. It is extremely rare to find a person who has a smartphone that does not have email connected to it. This gives you the perfect opportunity to target a mobile audience. AppsGeyser gives all app makers a QR code for each individual app as well as the APK and app link. Each of these three downloadable files can be used in email distributions. All the app user will need to do is click on the link for your app that you have provided in the email and the app will be downloaded to their device.
Online Distribution
Many app makers already have an online presence, either via their current website or social media profiles. All online sites owned by you can be used to distribute your app code. Many of our app makers also use partner sites to distribute the app for them in a form of app share, where you share their app and they share your app to grow audience numbers.
Time to not only create an app – it is time to get serious and get distributing.

AppsGeyser is proud to present the latest new Android template release, the business location finder. Now is time to get your business on the map, literally. The latest new Android template is a geographical location finder that will allow you to guide your app users to your location. This app allows you to set a location to which your users will be guided. The app picks up the user’s geographical location on their mobile device, and will give them directions to get to the location that you have set.
This app is perfect for companies that have stores, restaurants and offices too. In fact, it is perfect for any business that has a physical location that clients need to get to. Let us take, for example, a hotel. The people that would use this app are those that are visiting the hotel. They have arrived in the city and want to know the exact location of the hotel, and how to get there. They can download this app, and it will tell them how to get to the hotel from their current location. Even if they have no location service on their phone, the app will give them a local map of the hotel so they can use that as a guide.

Do you want to start an Android app business? Then you are certainly not alone. Over 1 million apps have been created with AppsGeyser in recent times, meaning that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people out looking to get their break in the Android app world. There are different reasons as to why app creation is so important. Some people simply want to take their current business and turn it mobile, whileothers want to create separate apps related to their business as a form of mobile marketing. And then there are those that want to start a career as a mobile app developer.
App making is seen as a business style that endorses a healthy work/life balance. To create apps you do not need to be online 24 hours a day or stuck in the office from 9-5, but can work around your own schedule. So, are you looking to join the mobile app world as an app developer?
5 Things You Need To Consider Before Starting an Android App Career
How do you start an Android app business?
There are 5 simple steps that you need to follow to see if you are ready to start your new life as an mobile app developer:
1: Idea – There must be a starting point for everyone, and in this business you need to have a clear idea regarding the topics that you want to create your app around. The style of app and content will all depend upon the reason you have decided to create the app – either for fun, for an existing business or as a marketing tool.
2: Research – It is not enough to decide that you want an app. There is more to it than that. Have you even looked to see if there is something similar already out there? It is time for you to do some research. Take a look at what is already on offer in the mobile market place and what you can put in place that will make your idea stand out from these. Do you know anything about your potential audience? What do they like and what will convince them to use your app?
3: Plan – Once you understand the market and the audience that you are aiming for, it is time for you to get planning. The first stage would be to decide on the content that you wish to use. From this information you can choose a template style that will complement the content. Another important part of the planning stage is the marketing. You should be researching and deciding upon your keywords in order to help the ASO of the app even before the app is created. The right keywords need to tie all your apps together.
4: Create – This is the easy stage. You have already got the idea, undertaken your research and have your plan ready. Now all that is left is for you to create your app. App creation with AppsGeyser is simple. Simply click on your chosen template, upload your content and click create. Done. We always suggest you test your app on friends and family before you publish to a public source.
5: Market – Go, go, go. If you want your Android app business to succeed, you need to let others know that it exists. I know we have spoken about choosing the right keywords to assist in organic searches, but this will not be enough to get your app recognised. You need to focus on social marketing and traditional marketing.
6: Enjoy – Time for you to smile and enjoy the work that you have put in.

Don’t we all love something that is free? That is one pro to social media marketing for your Android app business, but there is more to this free to use marketing tool that we need to discuss. Almost everyone you know will have some form of online profile, whether it is on Facebook or Twitter, or even Instagram, and if they don’t have a profile, they will certainly know of someone who has. Social media has become part of daily life and, as an app maker, it is important to know how to tap into this audience.
Android app business success with social media marketing. Tips to avoid
Social media marketing has certainly caught the attention of marketers due its availability and audience scale. There are different social platforms that allow you, as an app maker marketing an app, the ability to market your app in different styles to attract different audience members. However, as with everything in life, nothing is perfect, and social media is not different. A number of app makers have misused this marketing tool.
Today we are going to highlight how NOT to use social media to market your Android app business.
No, no, no. Social media is not a platform for you to sell directly. Social media is a place people turn to for fun and do not want to be overwhelmed with your sales pitch. You may be asking, then what is the point of social media if you cannot use it to sell to your audience? Social media is all about engagement and building relationships.
When you are building relationships, you are building trust and loyalty. This will convert into sales in an indirect manner. In the marketing industry this is called disruptive marketing. You are pulling in an audience to love you, trust you and believe in you. And in turn, they come to you and not to your competitors.
It really depends on which way you are looking at it. Social media does not have a financial outlay to it, so anyone can use and manipulate this tool to get their app into the eyes of a large audience. Social media marketing for your Android app is all based upon engagement. Therefore your time is essential, and time is money. You may need to employ someone to take on this role, or you will need to find the time yourself to properly invest in a marketing strategy.
If the effort you are putting in is infrequent, then you quite simply are wasting your time. No one expects you to be online at hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but you need to offer timely responses to messages and comments as well as commenting and messaging those on your watch list. The positive side of this, is that with mobile devices, most social profiles can simply travel with you; therefore you don’t have to sit in your office focused upon the computer awaiting a message. Social platforms will notify you when a message has been posted.
In addition to replying to your audience in a timely manner, you should also be uploading content that will entice people to return to your page and keep your page active on their timelines. Once again, this does not mean you need to be active constantly. You can schedule posts to most social platforms.
Remember, social media marketing and Android app success starts with engagement. Engagement is key.

Time for you to start promoting yourself from within your app. Today we are giving you the perfect code that will allow you to create a little Android that will sit in the bottom righthand corner of your app. This little Android is not there just for fun; it will take your app users directly to your app developer’s page on GooglePlay.
The reason we want to take your app users to your app developer’s page, is because we want to give them access to all your apps from within your app. You do not need to do any internal promotion, or have pop up messages that tell your user to download new apps. Quite simply, without any pressure, this will allow your users access to all your apps.
In order to add this customized code, go to your AppsGeyser dashboard, click on ‘Edit’ and go to the ‘Advanced Edit ‘page. Add the code at the bottom of the ‘Advanced Edit’ tab.
Today’s code will add an Android button to the bottom right of your app. This code will give your users access to all your available apps in GooglePlay.
var buttonWrapper=document.createElement(“div”);
buttonWrapper.style.position=”fixed”;
buttonWrapper.style.width=”60px”;
buttonWrapper.style.height=”60px”;
buttonWrapper.style.bottom=”5px”;
buttonWrapper.style.right=”5px”;
buttonWrapper.style.textAlign=”center”;
buttonWrapper.style.zIndex=”9000″;
buttonWrapper.style.borderRadius=”30px”;
buttonWrapper.style.backgroundColor=”#fff”;
buttonWrapper.style.border=”1px”;
buttonWrapper.style.borderColor=”#000″;
buttonWrapper.style.borderStyle=”solid”;
var buttonPic=document.createElement(“img”);
buttonPic.setAttribute(“src”,”http://appsgeyser.com/img/ic_android_black_24dp_2x.png”);
buttonPic.style.position=”absolute”;
buttonPic.style.bottom=”5px”;
buttonPic.style.right=”5px”;
buttonWrapper.onclick=function(){
window.location=’https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=5700313618786177705‘; /* Enter a link to your Google Play */
};
buttonWrapper.appendChild(buttonPic);
document.getElementsByTagName(“body”)[0].appendChild(buttonWrapper);
To upload the code, please click on’Edit’.
Then click on ‘Advanced Edit’.
Choose Edit app to edit your free android app.
Scroll to the bottom and add in your customized code.
This is what the app will look like before and after:

App distribution is what we see as the most exciting part of app making. This is the point at which you make your work public, and begin your journey to app success.
In order for your app business to succeed, you need to get your app into the public domain in the most effective manner. GooglePlay is not the only app store in the Android market, but whether or not we like it, GooglePlay dominates the market, and for most people is the best way to get an app to the masses.
The success of your app distribution comes down to your pre-distribution marketing. In previous posts, we have spoken about the importance of building your brand prior to app distribution. Once you have got to the distribution stage, it is not the time to take a step back. You need to ensure that the distribution process is carried out precisely, as now isn’t the time to start making mistakes.

It is amazing to see how our Android app makers are turning their singular apps into Android app businesses. For those if you that have turned to me asking for advice for improving the success of your app, let me remind you, app makers with a multitude of apps are ten times more likely to have Android app success than those who stick to a single app.
Creating an app empire brings value to your main app because it builds trust in you and your brand. I am not going to bore you with the details about why you should make an app empire as we have already discussed that, but remember the main route to app success begins with: the need to build trust in your app users, create an Android app brand and bring some loyalty to your brand.
Today I am going to take you through a step-by-step guide to creating an Android app business. We are going to take a singular idea and by using different template styles we are going to turn this idea into multiple apps. The idea behind this is to be able to capture different audience styles, thus increasing your brand’s overall audience size.
I am going to take the subject of education as my idea for my app portfolio. You will see that with this one subject I am able to make several different styled apps that will capture different audience types. Different audiences for this theme could include: parents looking for advice, educators and the kids themselves!
What apps can I make?
AppsGeyser has a over 50 different app templates styles that you can use to make an Android app business. It is up to you to use these app templates to attract the different audience styles. We are going to take 5 different templates and see how we can use them to attract different audience styles.
1: Browser app
This app template is a wonderful tool for those wanting to build a large educational app without having to create a lot of new content. The Browser app tool allows you to navigate various web resources from within the app. We can find a range of education related websites that we can link to our app. Always make sure that you check all copyrights and have permission to use these sites before you do this.
2: RSS app
The RSS app tool gives you the ability to create a pre-set search for real time news on a chosen topic. We are going to set our app search to educational advice. If you don’t want a range of different sites appearing, you can also link to an RSS feed from a chosen website, instead of creating a general search.
3: YouTube video app
This template is one that has numerous uses. It can be used for educational purposes, for example, teaching someone about the stages of development in preschool aged children, or it can be used to show lesson tutorial videos. We love using this tool for both reasons. Therefore this template can actually build you two different apps.
4: Website app
Welcome to our most popular app tool of all times. This app is to be used to link to your own personal website that has been optimized for mobile use . This app template can be used for more than one reason. You can use it to create links to your website, your blog, or even your social networks. That is already 3 different apps that you can create from one template alone.
5: Zip Archive app
Why don’t you create an off line app? You can write your own files and upload them using the zip archive app. Create what you wish: lesson plans, downloadable lessons, and so forth. This app style is for those that want to test their technical expertise
Creating an app from scratch and creating an Android app empire for your chosen subject can be done in a few minutes. What you need to do is take a look at the range of templates, decide what apps you want to create, and then set to work.
In addition to the content enriched app templates, you can also follow the fun theme and create numerous games using our gaming templates.

We hear it time and time again, that the only way to market your business in the modern world is by using a social media marketing strategy. Well guys, this is actually a true fact and not a modern marketing myth. Social media marketing, if carried out correctly is, in fact, the most successful form of marketing that any business can ever have.
Social media marketing strategy for your app
There is so much more to social media than a place to chat and read the latest gossip from your friends. Social media is the hub for sharing, connecting and engaging. Don’t get me wrong — it is not all perfect. People are very happy to share a poor review about your business, making it even more important for you to have a social media presence so you can show the world the face behind your business.
A social media marketing strategy should focus on more than just Facebook. Facebook may be the most popular of all social sites, but it is becoming much harder for business pages to drive engagement. Facebook has set a lot of boundaries for businesses, and organic reach has fallen dramatically. However, this does not mean your business should not have an active Facebook page. It is vital that you do. Your organic reach and appearance in news feeds may be down, but Facebook is often a place that people turn to, to seek customer service and source further information about a company.
Social media marketing is all about engagement. Your company should be providing information on your profiles often, to keep your audience interested, and you need to be responding to their needs as quickly as possible to encourage engagement. We have seen Twitter take a step back recently, with more companies moving to visual social sites, such as Pinterest and Instagram. If you have taken your time creating your dream app business, is it not only fair to say that it is worth investing your time on your marketing strategy?
Because social media has such a large scope, it may be worth your while, at least until you have become established, to employ a marketing agency to set up and manage your social media marketing. If you fail to get it right at the beginning, you may risk losing your business before it has the ability to even get started. Social media, if utilized effectively, will bring an audience to your business and will build brand awareness, engagement and loyalty.
When creating your social media marketing plan, you need to take the following into account:
1: Engagement does not happen overnight – Do not think that you can create an account, pay one of those companies to search for followers, and you will succeed. A proper social media campaign does not work that way. You only want to be engaging with qualified leads. This means people that are actually interested in your service or product. You may find that it takes a few months to a year to create a real following. Social media has a snowball effect. Once you begin to build an audience, it suddenly begins to grow.
2: Promote your social media profiles – Make your social media profiles clear on all your paperwork, websites, apps, blogs and wherever there is any form of written text. Make it clear that you want people to communicate with you via your social media profiles. Building an audience is like watching a snowball roll down a mountain; it begins slowly, and gradually increases speed and size.
3: Try different platforms – Social media is not just having a Facebook and Twitter profile. There are many other forms of social media out there, and each differs slightly in style and tone. Your business may fit better into some categories than others. Check which platform will attract the right type of audience for you. Let me stress clearly – Not every company needs to be on every platform. Remember that Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube are all there for you. Each social media platform has its advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you to decide which platform best suits your needs and to utilize each platform for the style of audience they will attract for you.
4. Be realistic – Social media marketing is SOCIAL. What this means is that if you want to succeed in this style of marketing for your company, then you need to be willing to be active. And I don’t just mean posting to your page. You need to be interacting with other peoples’ posts and pages, and building up a network. You should be professional, but this is informal marketing, and personality is vital. Don’t be scared to make a joke, speak with a conversational tone voice, or raise a question.

“I just want to thank the team at AppsGeyser for the support that they have offered me. Being new to app making I did not know where to start but I knew, if I wanted my toy shop to succeed, I needed to get my app mobile – Thank you AppsGeyser :D “
The app maker above, Nick, contacted us at AppsGeyser to thank us for the service that we provided him recently and the Android app ideas we gave him for his business. It is so lovely to hear back from our app makers. In today’s age, most people will only contact you for questions and to complain so getting an email to thank us means a lot.
Create a range of Android app ideas for your existing website
ApsGeyser cannot take the credit for the app that any app maker creates. The content is what will make the app successful. What Appsgeyser can do, is provide you with top of the range templates, assist you in all your technical questions, help you plan your marketing strategy and make sure that you get your Android app ideas out into the public domain. AppsGeyser is here to provide you with the tools, and it is your creativity, your business planning and your hardwork that turns an app into a success.
Nick created an app from his toy shop, called Nick’s Toys. The app is based upon the company’s website, which specializes in unique educational toys for boys aged 7+. Although the website at present is still under construction, (hence we have not included any links to the app or the website), we can tell you about the basic layout, and how we managed to help Nick plan his app network.
Nick has an eCommerce site and has used a range of eCommerce templates, each of which are set to different sections of his website. There is also a template that he has used to create an app for his entire website. The reason he has the smaller apps, focusing upon parts of this toys selection, is because he can then focus upon a smaller target audience. An app maker that has a range of apps is 7 time more likely to have Android app success.
In addition to the multiple apps created from his website, Nick has also created an RSS app that will connect to his blog. He also has created another app that will connect to his company’s YouTube page. It is planned that Nick will also create a number of gaming apps to promote his brand.
Before the apps go live, Nick is beginning to create his marketing strategy. At present he is building his social networking pages, which will also be turned into apps. He is planning to launch his first app only once he has a solid audience base on his social profile, and will introduce a new app every week after the initial launch.
Glad to have helped you Nick, and we are looking forward to seeing the finished products of your Android app ideas live in the near future.
