Mobile content providers are tired of being rejected by carriers and app stores and waiting months to get paid.
PocketBrand.com offers instant approval, instant payouts and control over distribution.
Steve Jobs deserves credit for bringing focus to the world of mobile development and entertainment. Before the iPhone, mobile developers were seen as risk takers or enthusiasts but certainly were not taken seriously nor blessed with great projects or good paydays. That all changed with the birth of the iPhone. Remember the picture on the cover of time magazine? Soon after the iPhone’s arrival, the demand for applications and content exploded.
Soon after, other mobile handset manufacturers would aggressively follow suit by launching their own appstores such as Research in Motion, Android, Palm, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and many more. This further validated the idea that building applications and content for mobile is the place to be, therefore opening the flood gates for new projects and products targeted towards the erstwhile mobile consumer.
In the beginning, everything was fantastic. Apple was open to excepting apps for the store and people were making money… a lot of money. Then something changed. As more and more developers stuffed their content and applications in to the mobile pipes of Apple and it’s competitors, the ability for the appstores to handle the volume of apps submitted, the testing and verification of the identities of the developers has become very expensive and increasingly time consuming.
Today, appstores are rapidly becoming more and more like carriers in the ways that made developers and content providers queazy about even attempting the infamous journey to the deck. Carriers take huge off-the-top payments for themselves and that’s after you’ve spent 3 to 6 months trying to get listed on-deck. Besides waiting 45-90 days for payments, carriers can decide at anytime to discontinue listing your app for any reason or no reason at all. This gives the developer or content provider literally no control over their business and even less control over their own cash flow or visibility.
Pocket Brand, a new startup insists they have the path to the promised land with the release of the Pocket Brand Appstore; a white-label iTunes style appstore that allows mobile developers and content providers to present their goodies in a branded appstore which they themselves control. Mobile users are able to subscribe to the appstore and purchase content that is sent instantly to their handset using paypal as the payment gateway.
“We knew the hardships mobile content providers were facing. Long waits for approval or rejection from the other appstores, then long waits for payments from sales. Most mobile developers are super small businesses who actually need revenues from sales immediately to pay for coffee, gas for the scooter (or moped), and of course rent and food. These guys would and do starve waiting for approval and then waiting for payments.” Said Moses Johnson Pocket Brand founder.
“These guys need immediate approval and immediate payment as well as control over their own distribution. Pocket Brand really comes through and removes the barriers. We even assist our partners with distribution strategies so their appstores see real traffic and uptake right away.”
Is Mobile Content Becoming an Addiction?
Welcome to today’s mobile content eCourse.
Not that long ago, only people with big money had cell
phones. Now you cannot throw a rock without hitting someone
with a cell phone attached to his or her ear. It seems like
people are all talking on cell phones now instead of
talking to the person they are with.
Cell phones have become an addiction to many people, they
want information about anything, and everything delivered
to them as soon as they decide they want it.
The mobile content industry is quickly becoming one of the
most sought after information sources for people with cell
phones or other handhelds.
We are officially living in the immediate gratification
era. Because of technology, people expect things now. They
no longer have to wait for information they want to come in
the mail.
They do not want to wait. The only thing that could improve
on the immediate download technology would be if we could
figure out a way to beam tangible products to where ever we
are. You know (beam me up Scotty).
Since this is not likely to ever be possible, getting
immediate gratification through downloads is the next best
thing and people are becoming addicted to this technology.
Billions of people have cell phones and handheld devices
that they can download mobile content to and get
information immediately. Now is your chance to increase
your Internet revenues by offering these billions of people
what they want, when they want it.
Since the mobile content is still growing, you have the
opportunity to get in on this new medium and start a
completely new income stream to build your business
success.
Just imagine if you could make your website mobile. Even
though mobile shopping is still quite new, you can find
many people that are excited about trying it for the first
time. By getting started now, you have the chance to build
many long-term customers.
Why not try it, and set up your website for mobile content?
Be sure to test how everything looks on several different
types of cell phones and PDAs. Before you know what you
will have a ton of extra business and loads of extra loyal
customers that will come back repeatedly to see what kind
of content you have added.
People are excited because they can get smaller pieces of
information and downloaded quickly. They can pay easily
using their phone. They are excited about the prospect of
being able to get their information instantly.

It’s so funny. Every time I sit down in the classroom, my
book bag rings and it’s my cell phone, and it’s Joel
(Schumacher) or Clint (Eastwood) going, ‘Do you want to do
this movie? - and I can’t turn an opportunity like that down.
