Interesting. So what is a good podcast, from your point of view? BBC has certainly been doing content right for decades. What is different, say, with NYT or TechCrunch?

Do you listen to work-related podcasts?

from the self-post dept.

I listen to podcasts rather than radio every time I am driving so I would like to ask you:are you listening to the work-related podcasts? do you use pocketcasts, tunein or podcastaddict? are podcasts generally popular in your country?The reason for asking is the AppInTop mobile app marketing podcast I am producing.Thanks to all who responds with comments here.

Re:How Much Does it Cost to Get Your Mobile App to the Top 10? on Thursday June 05, 2014 @03:25AM (#7850656)
If you look at the chart within the post, the last column shows daily revenue (in-app purchases). The advertisement revenue or offline revenue (e.g. selling of the posters made with those photo apps) are not included in the stats.

So, of course, Instagram does not have in-app purchases. And the Pic Stitch makes $824 per day (annualised to $300K). So the question is: is the app business about in-app monetisation, which works rather well for the gaming companies. Just use free AppInTop Spy service to look the revenue of gaming companies in the US (register free, press SPY icon on the top left hand side of the dashboard). Some make over $100,000 per day. But then the cost for the prime spots and the battle against King.com and Supercell costs much much more.

You can get the CPI of $1,5 and even $1,2 if you track sources of users and analyse their actions within the app. Then you filter out sources of traffic that sell you the dead users. You can do it manually (i.e. a small army of marketeers). You can also use automatic tools such as AppInTop.

If you are building a mobile app startup, you are probably looking to estimate how much your marketing cost will be. Here is a precise answer how to calculate it for any iOS app in any country's App Store / any category.

I suppose it is to do with the previously coined #estonianmafia hashtag by Dave McClure as per my TechCrunch post in 2011 http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/11/startup-sauna-puts-estonian...
