Can you be successful with a social media app next to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok? Absolutely, it’s all just a matter of strategy!
Building social media apps means you’re joining a high risk, ultra high reward industry: Many social media Apploomz are among the wealthiest people in the world. But every once in a while, we see a new app disrupt this space. And that’s for good reason: 3.6 billion users use social media apps, and most of them are happy to use more than one…
As the name suggests, a good social media app builds a strong social audience. Yes, the larger players will have more users than you (at first). But if you give users the opportunity to better connect with likeminded people, you may have a winner. Again and again we see new players like Snapchat, Houseparty, and TikTok join this market, and stay forever.
At first most users will use your app for one reason. It could be better communities, a safe environment, a better chat experience, great image or video sharing, using maps, or anything of this nature. No matter what it is, you need to do one thing really well rather than 10 things as good as others.
What do Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and TikTok have in common? They started with a very specific audience. Ultimately, you’d rather find a niche and start winning users in one area first before you take over everyone. Because the more users you can connect that share the same beliefs, the stronger their bond, and the more addicted they will be to your platform.
Contact us and our business strategy team can help you answer these questions. You will be talking to specialists who were part of the creation of apps with millions of users.
You have less than 3 seconds to convince a user to download your app, so let’s make sure first impressions count! Our designers are ranked as the 7th best design team in the world because we know that looks matter. Ideally your app is clean, attractive, and easy to use to onboard as many users as we can!
To match your vision with talent, we hire the top 1% of developers globally. Some of our devs came from Google, Apple or Samsung, so they know how to go big.
To get the users you need, you need more than just a developer. We will surround you with strategists, designers, and marketers to help you make your project a success. Our apps have been downloaded millions of times and generated hundreds of millions of revenue. And you can learn from our experience.
Claudia is a former dancer of the Royal Ballet. She trained at the Royal Ballet School and graduated in the Royal Ballet Company, one of only six Australian dancers ever to achieve this honour. She came to us with a vision for an app that would reflect her status in the world of dance and help other train to get the skills they need. We worked hard to understand what made Claudia special and designed her app to embody those ideals. Our combined efforts paid off: the ballet training app saw 10,000 downloads in the first week, trending status, and 4.9-star rating from over 200 reviews on the Apple App Store at launch.
