BV Mobile Apps

A hammer. A saw. A pair of pliers. What do all of these things have in common? They're tools. We use these tools to fix and/or build things. Do these tools do the work by themselves? Of course not. You have to pick them up and use them to do the work. You can't simply lay the saw on a piece of wood and expect to cut it. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

Your mobile app is no different.

Your app is a tool. It can send info and updates to your followers and fans; those same people can listen to and buy your music through it; you can communicate your next event or performance through it; they can watch your videos within it and even book you for events.

Sounds great, right? Here's the catch: you have to utilize the tool.

You must promote your mobile app so people know you have an app. Here's a few tips on how to accomplish this:

* ALL of your social media bios should tell people to download your app!

* Create social media banners that you can post frequently on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc
which tell people that you have an app and where to download it! (Use a free service like
Canva.com if design isn't your strength!)

* Use a service like Hootsuite or Buffer to regularly schedule social media posts encouraging your
followers to download your app! (Include your download link in the post - let me know if you don't
know your link and I'll email it to you!)

* Ask your followers to give your app a great rating! (this boosts your app in the app stores)

* Take advantage of the Push Notifications (which enables you to send a text message to those
who've downloaded your app) at least 2-3 times per week!

* Create a mini-commercial telling everyone you have an app and showing them how to download
it! (Use the screen recording feature on your phone along with a service like the Videoshop app)

These are great ways to utilize the tool that is your mobile app! Have any other suggestions or recommendations? Let us know!

BV Mobile Apps is seeking an Android Developer to create features for new and existing mobile apps.  Features will include, but are not limited to, creating pages for account maintenance, designing new layouts, and integrating with other third party services.

The job will be a contract position and compensation will be based on the project.

Responsibilities:

Have you ever thought about how you can engage thousands of followers, make yourself more marketable, and give your audience direct access to your content 24/7? If you have, then a mobile app would be perfect for you. It's a perfect place to consolidate all of your social media content in one place, and adds an increase sense of professionalism to your brand. And let's be honest, a DJ's brand can be crucial for business.

I'm now at the point that I don't even carry business cards anymore. Most of the times the recipient will misplace or lose the card so I do something better. I tell them to download my app! It will have all of the contact information they'll need to reach me in the future. Not only is it a "virtual" business card, but your audience will have access to all of your mixes, pictures, upcoming events, etc.

What's great about BV Mobile Apps is that they will cater your app specifically to what you need. You can have your mixes under one tab and have independent records you are servicing under another. My app is set up to where as soon as my mixes are uploaded, it immediately sends a notification to everyone who has the app. You even have control as to how often your audience will receive notifications.

Owning your personal mobile app is much cheaper than you think. BV Mobile Apps have different plans that will fit your budget and a substantial discount if you pay for the year. They service all mobile platforms (iPhones, iPads, and even android). Their customer service is phenomenal and they always respond to questions or app changes quickly. If I were you, I would give them a call and get your app started today!

Blogging is growing rapidly every day, but how many bloggers can say they have their own mobile app? Yep, you heard it right. How many bloggers out there can say they have their own app on all phones? Hardly any. This is why getting your own mobile app will make you stand out even more as a blogger.

I first got the idea of starting my own app about two years ago. At the time I was like, "No, that's so conceited." Then I really thought about it and was like "wow, I really can stand out by doing this." I did some research and noticed that apps are really expensive! I then talked to my mentor Monica Marie Jones about it and she told me about "BV Mobile Apps."

When I saw their site, I was like wow this is cheap. When I reached out to the company, they were so friendly and responded back to my emails immediately. My app was ready to go in less than three weeks. To all bloggers out there, I advise you to get your own app.

Here are the benefits:

As we continue to look for new ways to improve your mobile app experience, we've introduced something that many of you have requested for a long time: Google Analytics!

What is Google Analytics?

A web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports usage data from iOS and Android apps. The Google Analytics function will enable you to better understand your users while also setting and tracking goals and objectives. 

Want to know your stats in real-time? Want to know what cities and countries are visiting your app the most? Want to know what part of your app keeps people engaged the most? Then add Google Analytics today!

How do I add Google Analytics to my mobile app?

As part of our continuing effort to be the best mobile app provider for DJs and Radio Stations, we've added Mixcloud as an available feature for our apps.

Mixcloud is a popular site for DJs and Radio Stations because they are devoted to mixes and they have negotiated rights for all uploaded content.  In additional, they offer unlimited uploads and unlimited listening.

Now, our clients can integrate Mixcloud in addition to SoundCloud and Podomatic into their mobile app to bring the best content possible to their fans.

New clients can add it to their app by providing a link to their Mixcloud account during setup.

Existing clients can submit a request to have their Mixcloud added using the Request Design Changes form.
