THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BUILDING AN APP-BASED BUSINESS - NOW REVISED AND UPDATED

Apps have changed the way we communicate, shop, play, interact and travel and their phenomenal popularity has presented possibly the biggest business opportunity in history.

In How to Build a Billion Dollar App, serial tech entrepreneur George Berkowski gives you exclusive access to the secrets behind the success of the select group of apps that have achieved billion-dollar success.

Berkowski draws exclusively on the inside stories of the billion-dollar app club members, including Instagram, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Candy Crush and Uber to provide all the information you need to create your own spectacularly successful mobile business. He guides you through each step, from an idea scribbled on the back of an envelope, through to finding a cofounder, building a team, attracting (and keeping) millions of users, all the way through to juggling the pressures of being CEO of a billion-dollar company (and still staying ahead of the competition).

If you've ever dreamed of quitting your nine to five job to launch your own company, you're a gifted developer, seasoned entrepreneur or just intrigued by mobile technology, How to Build a Billion Dollar App will show you what it really takes to create your own billion-dollar, mobile business.

Excellent New Guide for Mobile Apps Development and Marketing - Explains Big Picture but Give Rigorous but Practical Advice

ByBill Auleton September 4, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

There are lots of books out there ABOUT entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship that are interesting reads but very few that really help you to BECOME a successful entrepreneurs. This is one of those rare books that takes on the challenge of doing the latter and doing it well.
The author analyzes opportunities in a very intelligent manner (love the effective use of data in the book) and then lays out the decision points to frame the problem/opportunity and decision tools to resolve the decision point. Once this is done, he then goes through and gives very specific recommendations and resources that make this book much more concrete than other books. It gives the reader/student/aspiring entrepreneur a clear pathway to optimize the chance of success for his new app. It is very well done from seeing the big picture to giving the reader the next step they should take -- and why.
I was a bit dismissive of "apps" when they first came out but now it is clear they are the future as the world moves from desktop computers to mobile apps and this is an invaluable tool to help the next generation in their "gold rush" for billion apps -- or to just have a super positive impact on the world. Don't be fooled by the gold and billion dollars clickbait on the front, these lessons can help you if you are a social entrepreneur, corporate entrepreneur or really any type of entrepreneur involved in the mobile space.

Blueprint for Building Billion Dollar Ventures

ByMichaelon August 29, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As a tech startup founder, there are only 4 or 5 books I consistently keep going back to, bookmarking, re-reading, and referencing as a guide.

George Berkowski's "How to Build a Billion Dollar App" is definitely one of them. Let's be honest - we are all in the game to make a dent in the universe but we also want to build a venture that can set us up financially for life.

This book is the closest thing to a 'blueprint' you'll ever find for "how to build a unicorn startup". Two thumbs up, definitely worth reading and re-reading.

Must read for anyone wanting to build a mobile startup

ByBrianon September 26, 2014

Love this book! I work for a startup so I can relate to the experiences highlighted. Over the last year I've been reading everything I can get my hands on to launch my own startup...and conveniently every topic you can imagine is laid out in this book in an easy to digest format. I'd highly recommend you read this book if you work for a startup or want to launch one. The advice and guidance is practical and immediately actionable.

Pretty Good

ByDrajeanne Eilandon December 22, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I thought I was buying a book that would teach me how to actually create an app. This is more so a book of after you create the app. It's very good. As soon as I figure out how to create a app I know I will be referencing a lot things the author has talked about. I found my self taking a lot of notes while reading. This is a great book and I still have about 35 pages to go

Great Book! Buy it!

ByJorgeDiazon July 31, 2015

The most important thing about this book is that it forces you to think big. It guides you step by step in the process of creating a billion dollar App, it doesnt say what to do( thats your work) but tells you whats steps are needed to get there. Really good read and start thinking big!

because the cover and title reminded me of other mobile app business books on the market that are filled with useless fluff. Aft

ByAndrewon December 11, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are looking into a mobile app-based business, then this is the guide book to get you started. I have to admit that I hesitated in buying this book for a bit, because the cover and title reminded me of other mobile app business books on the market that are filled with useless fluff. After reading the reviews I decided to get it and as someone working on building an app-based startup I found this book to be worth its weight in gold. This book is the only comprehensive guide to the world of mobile apps currently on the market and provides unique insights into analytically-driven strategies for product development and marketing campaigns thoroughly backed by case studies. The book is also rich in resources suggestions that are incredibly useful; more than once I was stuck on some aspect of the app development process and was able to find the solutions I needed through this book. Every entrepreneur in the mobile market should have a copy of this on their shelf.
