Solutions to Some of The Most Prevalent Startup Challenges
Launching an app in the store is not the end stage, as usually highlighted in the many mobile app development lifecycle articles on the internet.
The app lifecycle is in fact in many ways a never ending process. There are many things that are to be taken care of till much after the application has hit the stores.
This continuation of the process comes with its own set of challenges, which are detailed in this article here - Challenges That Mobile App Startups Face After App Launch.
So, while you can head on to the linked article to know the challenges that are associated with app entrepreneurs who are just starting on the startup journey, in this article we are going to look at the solutions here.
Now without further delay, let us get started.
1. Getting Noticed in the Crowd
The secret to getting your piece of attention in the crowded market works on two things - Marketing and Offered Value. The more value you offer to your customers above one given by your competitors, the more you will be able to create a place for yourself in the market.
The next part of getting noticed is to promote the app enough that it reaches the masses.
2. Scalability
Knowing when to scale your business is the second most challenging issue that startups face. If you scale your business too soon you might face yourself in a situation when everything is out of control but when you scale late you will find yourself getting back in the race.
The ideal solution when it comes to scalability is for you to be attentive about your startup stages. The moment you realize that it has now hit the growth stage and the revenues that are flowing in are now stable and there is now a monotony in the process, you should think about scaling the business.
3. Getting Funds
Getting funds on your app is hands-down one of the most difficult tasks, especially at a time when the mobile world is filled with new entrants coming in every passing day.
However, with a proper research and a thorough documentation of your idea you can make the cut and not just get investors’ attention but also their funds.
In fact, with the investment world now opening to more mediums, which were once restricted to only Angel and VC funding, the process has only become smoother over time.
