Don’t lose a single opportunity to advertise your app
When I started working on App Store Optimization (ASO) of Programming Hero, the first mistake I made was, “only following Google PlayStore”. It’s true that Google PlayStore is the biggest but you’ve other options. Exploring the other options can easily get you more users. Besides, Google Play already has 2.87million apps that create tough competition. Amazon App Store is very underrated and a platform with more users and fewer apps. There are also some extra benefits Amazon App Store offers, that’s why I decided to work on publishing our app on Amazon App Store. …
Motivations can’t bring food to your table
I’m a Digital Marketer by profession & a photographer by passion. You may wonder why I didn’t make my career in photography. I actually tried and learned a life-changing lesson that drove me to separate my career and passion.
I brought up hearing the words “Follow Your Passion”. Later found out that it’s the biggest misconception, motivational speakers give us.
The quote should be, “Follow your passion but not Blindly”.
I was confused at the age of 25, “from where should I start?”. The most common thought of us.
I didn’t have a shitload of money or any ovarian lottery…
Your struggle of making a great website ends here.
Not everyone can afford a team to make a personal website or any new startup's website. Most of the entrepreneurs make their own ventures website within a very short budget and with limited help.
Making your website perfect is crucial when you’re in that position. You’re on a budget, not have a team to assist you but you want the best output.
Recently, I’ve launched my personal venture’s website. The first challenge I faced that I didn’t have any coding knowledge. Then I found the Programming Hero app that helped me a lot to know the basics. Within a week…
Don’t be an ordinary user
You need a job, so you open an account on LinkedIn for job searching. You’re trying your best and using the platform like hell but nothing happens. LinkedIn isn’t helping you to get the job.
I know you’re thinking, “What the hell I’m doing wrong!”
You’re not alone, most of the people around us using LinkedIn very wrongly. It’s not like Facebook or Instagram. It’s a whole new level tool for searching job. If we use LinkedIn like other social media, we are not getting any job it’s for sure.
So, the question is “What are the Wrongdoings?”
Let’s go…
Write a better description to stand out from the crowd
The most ignored part of an app is “App Description”. I was really astonished when I came to know this.
Then I found something more interesting, “Only 1% of your AppStore visitor read the app description”.
Then I tried to know, why Google Play Apps & Games Team cares about this 1%?
I still don’t know the answer, but I know how a description can turn your app’s fortune.
At first look, it seems totally unnecessary to write-up a 4000 character description on your app. But it’s more important than you think.
Do you know why?
You’ve come to the…
It’s all about understanding the other person
“Relations aren’t tough. We are.”
Ugh. It happened again.
You were super-angry with your spouse and now you are super-tensed about it.
You’re feeling guilty. You didn’t want to shout at her, but you did.
Shouting (unnecessarily) at your spouse can eventually destroy your relationship.
Do you know how many times you become mad, or worse shout at your spouse in a month?
An average adult gets mad 30+ times in a month.
I was mentally disturbed in my 20s due to a big transitional period I had to go through — I had to choose my career and earn…
Happiness starts from within…
Back in 2002, I was in high school.
I had to change my school due to my dad’s job post-change. We shifted to a remote area where there was very little opportunity for my schooling. The only option was a missionary school that was run by monks.
I’m an extrovert and that helped me to make friends and blend with the new environment.
I thought the school would teach us about the monk lifestyle and other superb inner-peace stuff. I was super-happy.
My mother was always late to take me home from school. And I got to spend my leisure…
These might even hold you back
Programming is a mystery to most of the people, especially for those who intend to be a programmer in the future. And the misconceptions and myths make the path more confusing to all.
A huge number of learners skid from the path of learning even before starting just because of popular myths. Also, there are many learners whose hearts get broken whenever they find programming is not what they thought or saw in popular TV series or in digital media.
I also had many misconceptions about programmers and programming before starting my journey.
Among a bunch of myths, I sorted…
Let’s get into the 0.5% club
“Only 0.5% of the total population of the world know how to code.”
Programming is a language and it takes time to learn it.
If it requires more time, it’s tempting to be easily demotivated and maybe even stop learning it.
When you’re skidding from learning programming, you’re also skidding from being a member of the 0.5% Club.
The success rate of completing anything related to learning is relatively low (unofficially around 10%). And, it’s not your fault if you drop programming or intend to. It’s just human nature or a limitation only a few can overcome.
It’s tough, but…
