How Tracking User Behaviour on App & Software works ?

nsdbytes - blog - Tracking User Behaviour on App & Software works

In this blog, we will see why measuring user behaviour is important and how to do it. But before it let’s see what user behaviour analysis is.

What is User Behaviour Analysis?

It is the method of gathering, tracking, and evaluating data of how users interact with our application or software.

Why Tracking of User Behaviour is Important?

Development is just one part of successful applications. It requires continuous refinement for an app or software to be useful. In the long-term, people are most likely to be connected with such apps.

Hence user behaviour tracking helps in understanding your target audience. You will also get insights of their needs, wants, demographic, and psychographics.

How to Do User Behaviour Tracking?

We now know the importance of understanding user behaviour. So how do you track your apps or software? There is plenty of free and premium softwares are available to do so. Let’s dig into it.

Tools for Web Application of Software:

Google Analytics

It is well known in the marketing industry. It is Google’s free tool that gives excellent data about your users. It let you know the user’s journey, landing page, bounce rate, avg. time on web application, and conversion rate. Moreover, it also helps you set up your customized dashboard.

Hotjar

It is the best in-market tool for visualizing your behaviour. It has an awesome feature of tracking visitor’s recording, surveys, and heat map analysis. This tool is paid, but its price is worth it.

CrazyEgg

It is almost the same tool as Hotjar. It gives you more insight of heat map, scroll map, and snapshots. You can also test which part of your web application works well and which is not.

Matomo

Matomo is another powerful tool for behaviour tracking. You can do many things like heat maps, session recording, A/B testing, attributions reporting, and funnel visualizations.

 Tools for Mobile Application:

Apple Analytics

Obviously, Apple Analytics is made to track iOS mobile applications. It makes your work easier by checking user impressions, engagement, active devices, and retention. Its segmentation feature helps you to understand which one of your apps is performing better.

Firebase

It is essentially used for developing apps. Google’s this tool also allows you to manage all your application data in a single place. It is compatible with iOS and Android. Its basic plan is free. Paid plans give you more valuable data.

Mixpanel

It is one of the renowned mobile app analytics tools. It gives you a better understanding of user journey by tracking users interaction. 

AppDynamics

Most useful tool for managing, auditing, and micro activity tracking of users. With its cloud integration feature, you can maintain data in cloud storage. Their pricing is upon request and customized according to requirements.

You can also track user behaviour for mobile apps with Google Analytics.

Summary

There are plenty of tools and resources available. By tracking user behaviour, we need to identify what are pros and cons in our software of apps. Continuous improvement is the goal of user behaviour analysis.

How to Generate Revenue from Game ?

nsdbytes - blog - revenue from game

That’s why entrepreneurs like to test their courage in game development.

In this blog, we will see ways to make revenue by developing games.

Develop Freemium Games

Free + Premium is the best way to make a consistent income. You need to develop a game and make it freely available. And then include features like level upgrades and premium assets. The foremost examples of these games are Clash of Clans, Candy Crush, PUBG, and lots more.

We all know how engaging and addicting these games are. People would like to try free features before deciding to purchase. Because of tough competition, most games are adapting this model. 

If you are new to the gaming industry, this model is best fit for you. Paid games can’t get enough due to less popularity and credibility.

Take Advantage of Advertising on Your Games

People spend more time on games than any other apps. Because of Covid-19, people are playing games more than ever. According to Statista, there is a whopping 40% increase in the United States in time spent on games.

This is an opportunity for game developers to develop such games that people love to spend time. Earning revenue from Google AdSense requires knowledge of how AdSense works.

You must qualify for AdSense to show Ads on your games. You also need to consider where ads should show in your game.

You must not break gaming experience by showing ads. Showing ads on your games are beneficial if your games are popular.

You must avoid click bait and other spammy techniques that auto generate money. This may lead to permanently blocking your account. So staying away is always better.

Paid Games

This is only recommended for companies that are in the gaming industry for quite some time. If you are popular and credible, then you can also launch paid games.

You should have developed consistent gaming experience in the past. People are ready to spend on games because of unique experience and brand consistency.

You may need to invest in marketing strategy to reach a wider audience. Brand awareness is the most important for successful paid games.

You need to stand out from the ocean of millions of games. Unique features of your games will help you attract more buyers.

 If you are new to the gaming industry, then it is not recommended to you. 

Obviously

Summary

Earning revenue from games is clearly not an easy task. But it is achievable and has higher ROI when games become successful. If your people love your games, then income will be a by-product.

You can incorporate two or all the ways to earn. Most game developers or publishers combine freemium and advertising to earn more. But I do not suggest it for newbies.

Had more thoughts or knew another way of earning? Let’s discuss at NSDBytes.

How to Conduct an Effective Market Research for Your Business Idea

nsdbytes - blog - market research

Here, we will see how to conduct market research properly.

But before that, let us understand what market research is.

It is the process of gathering and analysing information about your target customers. It includes demographic, psychographic, behavioural, and geographical analysis.

Market Research is not only collecting statistics but also converts them into a shape of conclusion.

How to Conduct Market Research?

Doing market research is not a straightforward task. So, I have divided it into five actionable steps.

  1. Identify the Problem

Business is all about solving the problems. Defining the goal is the first step towards market research. Your goal must solve the problem and the need must last for a long time.

How to identify problems? 

  • Observe your own community.
  • Examine your experience.
  • Analyse problems you are facing in routine life.
  • Be in touch with existing business owners.

This can for sure give you a spark of the business that you are planning to launch.

  1. Plan the Research

After defining the problem, market research will now have a one-pointed focus. Define your budget and timeline before conducting research. 

Get an overview of the amount of data, resources, and tools you will need. Figure out what will be the best of all.

Collect all this to make a template and Q & A survey sheets. Templates are readily available. But it is hard to find one for a unique idea.

Check different templates but take only the useful details from it.

  1. Data Gathering

It is the most important step in market research. Here are some tips based on my experience.

  • Collect information only from trusted sources.
  • Use tools but don’t excessively depend on it.
  • Survey your potential customers.
  • Schedule one-on-one interview.
  • Match your data with industry statistics.
  • Use Social Media and Reviews to tap into major flaws.

There may be hundreds of tools available. Some of them are Questback, Google Keywords Tool, Key Survey, and Social Mention.

  1. Analyse Data and Shape the Conclusion

You need to take an unconventional approach for precise data analysis. Throughout the process, you must be unbiased.

It is difficult to be completely unbiased for one person. So, we recommend having a team for taking different and integrative approaches.

Your data must narrow down to target customers’ wants and needs. It may subdivide into their characteristics like demographics, behaviours, etc.

  1. Put it into Action

There is no meaning of data if you can’t put it into meaningful action. Market research not only gets you insight of your customers but also gives you a chance to improve your products and services.

Before putting your data into reality, you must consider factors like feasibility, availability, and longevity.

Hope you untapped the right business idea after reading this blog.

How to Calculate Game Development Cost?

nsdbytes-blog-cost of game development

Game development is not as easy as playing games. When it comes to calculating the cost of game development it becomes more confusing and challenging.

Today I am going to show how you can calculate the cost of game development accurately.

Your development cost solely depends upon functionality of game, graphics, characters, user interface, and type of game.

Every app development estimate involves three phases: Pre Development cost, Developing cost, and Post Development cost.

Let’s check each phase step by step.

  1. Pre Development Cost

We can’t start developing games just after drinking morning tea. It takes planning, brainstorming, strategy, design, game art, conceptualization, and prototyping.

Pre-development phase builds the foundation of the game. It must be carried out with utmost importance.

It starts from why, what, and how.

Why is this game different?

How will your game be completed within the deadline?

What factors need to be considered?

Each step takes time, effort, and resources.

We need to identify the minimum and maximum bar. Qualitative efforts in pre pre-development stage are crucial for success. Foundation of your game must be strong enough to encounter future major problems.

  1. Developing Cost

This is an important and lengthiest phase. In this step, your concept is handcrafted with a blend of skills and latest technologies.

Programming, scripting, building assets, character creation, animation, voice and music assignment, and other important tasks are carried out in the production phase.

Tools, softwares, time duration, and other miscellaneous costs are also included in development.

It takes most of your cost of overall game development.

You need to estimate time and effort based on competitor’s analysis and your experience.

We must take production of the game precisely to avoid flaws and errors.

  1. Post Development Cost

After successful development, team members are assigned to do maintenance, testing, and bug fixing.

It is directly connected to the quality of development phase. The more you are accurate in development, the lesser the cost of bug fixing will be.

We need to keep in mind that maintenance is a continual cost of game. Server resources, size of game, and updates are affecting factors.

Only game development and deployment are not enough for better ROI.

Strategic branding and marketing plays a key role in the success of a game. If anyone can’t find your game that means your game doesn’t exist. 

Hard words, but truth!!

Many channels are available for marketing. Choosing a reliable and affordable one is important. You can also consult with the appropriate person for this.

Regardless of the development cycle, you also need to consider a platform for estimating.

Cost varies for android, windows, and iOS platforms. Cost of developing a game for iOS is much more than for android one.

Most game development companies are now focusing on developing cross-platform games for cost effectiveness.

It also gives you a wider audience than a single platform.

Hope your cluttered mind became cleared after reading this post.
