Why Now Is the Best Time to Start a Mobile App Resale Business
Jan 27th
Mobile apps are one of the fastest-growing industries on Earth. From 2012 to 2013, estimates of total worldwide downloads nearly doubled. The number is now passing 100 billion downloads annually.
Businesses & Their Customers Can’t Get Enough Apps
This is, of course, great news for the app developers we all know and love – the ones making games, social apps, productivity tools, and more. But along with these core apps, businesses, organizations, and enterprises of all shapes and sizes are finding that apps are becoming more and more of a priority when it comes to connecting with their audience or target market. And as mobile activity continues to surge and surpass desktop/laptop activity, businesses are learning that mobile is the future.
This creates a huge opportunity for mobile app resellers.
The Opportunity: Small Business Gap
A mobile app reseller doesn’t offer apps to end-users. Instead, Bizness Apps resellers offer app development services to small businesses. As we said, businesses are waking up to the need to release their own mobile apps, but very few have the capability to develop them in-house, and even fewer can handle the large expense of hiring a development firm to build them a custom app.
As a result, only a small percentage of businesses have gone mobile.
In fact, as of the second quarter last year, fewer than 1% of businesses had published an app. Thus, the opportunities here mirror the opportunities of the app world at large. There is a rapidly growing need for app development services like those our white label resellers provide. Those entrepreneurs that are ready to fill this gap have a large space to expand into, in which a successful business can be built.
High Profit, Low Cost
Starting an app reseller business with Bizness Apps is easy and extremely inexpensive. There are minimal costs compared to the likes of franchising fees or other charges. Instead, our white label allows resellers to enjoy heavily discounted mobile app pricing developed with us. This enables entrepreneurs to become their own bosses without needing to find a large funding source or go into debt.
We also provide helpful free resources to help resellers from start to finish. These include a website builder (Bizness Web) and a CRM tool that makes finding small business leads and closing them tremendously efficient and simple (Bizness CRM).
In short, we set you up to succeed from the very beginning!

How to Succeed on Your New Years’ Resolutions, for Small Business Owners
Dec 26th
The new year begins with almost unlimited optimism. No goal is too farfetched, and no transformation is too drastic. No success is out of reach. It almost seems like you could accomplish anything this year . . .
And then comes January 2nd.
How quickly things change. The exciting new goals fall away, and the quick slide back into old habits begins. By February, all is forgotten, and the year winds up just like the one before it.
This year is going to be different!
Follow these basic steps, and you can make 2014 a year to remember for your small business.
Step 1: Buy in
Adopting a goal without truly believing you can accomplish it is pretty much pointless. Part of this will be adopting challenging, but realistic, goals. But once you’ve adopted them, you need to buy in to the fact that you are going to do this. You can’t commit halfway, and you can’t approach it miserably. You need to get excited about what you’re going to do, and commit to making it happen.
Step 2: Set measurable goals with deadlines
A general goal is usually too vague to allow for accountability. For example, “Make my business successful” is not measurable in time or magnitude, while “Book $X in sales in the first quarter” is.
When you decide how to define your goals, make sure that they are measurable and have a time limit. This will help you take clear, effective steps to achieving them.
Step 3: Break goals down and schedule tasks
Goals need to be broken down into smaller, more manageable tasks. And this is a critical part of the process, so don’t breeze through it. If you want to increase sales, for example, you’ll need to spend time researching methods and deciding how to allocate your resources most effectively.
But once you’ve decided on some methods, break them down into steps and schedule them. Literally, on your calendar. Do it. Those are now rock solid appointments that you can’t miss.
Your future depends on it.
Step 4: Execute as scheduled
Do what you are supposed to do, when you’re supposed to do it. That’s it. Don’t give yourself a pass. Don’t leave it for another time. Just simply soldier on. It couldn’t be easier than that.
Step 5: Evaluate
Okay, you’ve done what you were supposed to do – how is it working? If it’s going well, great! Keep it up. If not, re-evaluate and choose new actions. Then schedule them. It’s time to execute a new plan.
As you execute the new plan, evaluate that one as well. Keep repeating this process until you are making progress to your goal. Don’t give up!
Step 6: Reward yourself
If you hit your targets, or make a lot of progress toward them – nice work! – don’t forget to reward yourself. Life isn’t a death march and you need to make sure that you pat yourself on the back when you succeed. Soon enough it will be time to repeat the process again with new goals, and continue progressing onward and upward.
For now, however, take a breath and relax. You’ve adopted a goal and reached it, and most people never manage to do that.
Well done!
