Business Lessons From Google Play


If you're a Smartphone user, you probably have been visiting Google Play to download Apps for your mobile device.

Google Play is a digital distribution service operated and developed by Google. It serves as the official App store for the Android operating system, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android software development kit (SDK) and published through Google. Google Play also serves as a digital media store, offering music, magazines, books, movies, and television programs.

My observation over the years is that mobile Apps with high ratings and positive reviews have higher downloads than Apps with negative reviews.

While this is just a common sense observation, few business lessons can be drawn from this:

#1: Positive reviews make businesses strive.

 How do you get positive reviews?
It come from customer satisfaction and exceeding expectations.

#2: Always push for the top spot.
Strive to be among the top rated businesses in your niche.
Because the truth is, the higher your rating, the higher your chances of raking in more profit.

#3: Excellence is a great rewarder.
Taking your time to build an excellent product pays.
If your products and services speak the language of excellence, you are likely to get recommendations from existing customers. So don't sit there thinking all there is to business is making profit. Seek to be the best version of you and you'll be rewarded in due course.

#4: Nobody cares who built what, all they need is what App can solve a particular problem.
You're not in business to make a name. You're in business to solve problems. If your business has the solution people seek, they will come to you whether you're familiar or not, and even beg you to take their money.

#5: Update or perish.
Do you know why developers keep updating their Apps?
They want to ensure their customers have better user experiences. If you're not constantly seeking ways of improving your business, be ready to go under.

#6: Business is all about adding value.
I don't remember ever allowing an App on my device that doesn't serve a useful purpose. If your business doesn't bring any value to the marketplace, you're going to get uninstalled soon.

Have an amazing day!

A Must Read For Every Serious Income Earner

Recently, I was revising the notes I took from a business training I attended sometime ago, so I decided to share with you an incredible business insight that will change your perspective. Between earning linear income and passive income, which is better? Well, to make sense of the question, let's attempt a distinction between linear and passive income. If you're being paid once per month for the work or services that you have provided, chances are you're earning a linear income. Linear income is also called active income, where you earn one unit of income for one unit of your effort. To earn a linear income you also need to be present at your supposed workplace. Hence, doctors, lawyers, hawkers, or practically every employed or self-employed person are earning linear income. If they don't attend to their clients, they don't get paid. What about passive income? It is an income that you continue earning even when you're not working. ...

Why Your Beliefs Is Critical To Your Result

Few weeks ago, I attended an interesting webinar on the psychology of success. It was great, and I took a lot of notes. There was this female facilitator on the program who shared how, every time she was after a goal, she seemed to just give up when she was close to success. She was very ambitious and educated, but every time she was about to succeed, she dropped her efforts. In the course of speaking, she revealed that she grew up in a small, remote village in Africa, where the only women who had money and status were PROSTITUTES. So, she developed the belief that, if she became successful, people would think she's a prostitute. It was totally irrational, and she knew it. But the belief was so strong and ingrained in her subconscious mind that she kept sabotaging herself. A belief can destroy or build your life. I met students on campus who had EVERYTHING to excel in their fields of study, but always found a way to dread pushing themselves... It's...

Understanding Basic Business Etiquettes

If you're in business or even an employee, you cannot underestimate the importance of business etiquettes. Demystifying etiquette rules across multiple business-related scenarios is the focus of this article. But before we hit the ground running, it's best to level off everyone on what etiquette means. We would also look at the many ways business etiquette can improve a company or an organizational bottom line. Josy Roberts, author of 'Business Etiquette: Your Questions and Answers', defines etiquette as 'conventional rules of polite behaviour.' They are guidelines on how to behave befitting good manners while in the company of other people. They show sensitivity to the needs and feelings of the person or people that you are with. Etiquette covers most aspects of social interactions, including self-presentation, communication, courtesy, and hospitality. Business etiquette, in particular, covers expectations in the interactions between co-workers, the company a...
