SBA for Tech Companies | The Tech Futures Group is the equivalent to SBA for Tech Companies

Tech Futures Group is the equivalent to SBA for Tech Companies   In follow-up to my article I wrote yesterday, I also had a chance to talk with these guys at GMIC as well. Initially given my experience with what SBA has to offer, I wasn’t as interested but after doing a little research on their website.. I found that they actually have quite a bit to offer.  All at the incredible price of: FREE.   The Tech Futures Group (TFG)’s mission statement is as follows: The Tech Futures Group is dedicated to fostering an innovative economy by advising qualified technology companies – at no cost – how they can raise capital and therefore create high-wage jobs.    ” TFG provides strategic advisory services to qualified technologists and technology companies to help them get to the next level. TFG’s focus is on assisting with the commercialization of technology products or services and with the preparation of raising funds. TFG charges no fees for its services and takes no ownership interest in client companies. TFG’s charter is to help technology companies...

Apple App Store Downloads October | Apple App Store CPA October

Apple App Store Downloads October | Apple App Store CPA October

Apple App Store Downloads October | Apple App Store CPA October Thanks to the folks over at Fiksu for doing an incredibly insightful analysis, and providing charts to provide visual assistance for understanding.  Their analysis concluded that October’s searches ‘soared during the month’ but so did cost for conversions.  Savvy marketers knew to ride the ‘organic wave’ instead of choosing to pay higher ppc or ppm bids.   Fiksu notes that, “Advertising is key to driving up organic search results. In order to get their fair share of any organic lift, marketers needed to continue to spend – but they could do so at a less frantic pace than during previous device launches.” Similar to the iPhone 4S launch in October 2011, Apple’s iPhone 5 download volumes soared by 33%.  Traffic like this also surged by 29% following the availability of the much-hyped iPhone 4S. With consumers taking several weeks to update to iOS6 this had led to a steadier, more sustained opportunity for mobile app marketers in even with...

App Flood | Is AppFlood right for you?

App Flood | Is AppFlood right for you?

Is AppFlood right for you?   A while back I attended this event called the Global Mobile Internet Conference down in the valley.  Pretty big. Pretty interesting – and pretty insightful.  There was one company that I still remember to this day, mainly because I thought the idea of what they were doing was pretty cool for Indie developers.   AppFlood basically provides developers a simple SDK procedure that enables them and their apps to cross-promote with hundreds of other developers.   Here are some key benefits:   It’s open to everyone. You can setup your campaign in minutes. Best of all, it’s 100% commission-free.   Side effects may include: Increased users Excitement Regained hope But really,   If you head on over to AppFlood‘s website you’ll see under the “How it Works” what basically looks like this: So I’d encourage you to check it out.     At the end of the day, it’s free.   So you have nothing to lose – and everything to gain!  ...

App Annie Index Chart Q4 2012

App Annie Index Chart Q4 2012

App Annie Index Chart Q4 2012   The folks over at App Annie have gone through the trouble of creating an article that assists people in ‘reading’ the store index charts they provide.  I thought some of there points were worth sharing.   So let’s jump into it!   The chart above shows some important findings, and while it may be a bit unclear, that’s what I’m here to elucidate. The chart shows that during the month of October 2012, iOS worldwide revenues were four times larger than those of Google Play. iOS’s October 2012 monthly revenues were also 12.9% higher than their monthly revenues in January 2012. Google Play’s October 2012 monthly revenues however.. were 311% higher than their monthly revenues in January 2012. Needless to say,  Google Play has shown some very impressive growth during the first ten months of 2012. But, it’s important to note the following: The comparisons are two single months of the year.It is not compounded growth across these months. It’s not a year-over-year...
