BANG - Mobile Games Take Over: $18 billion in 12 months

BANG - Mobile Games Take Over: $18 billion in 12 months | Must Play | Scoop.it

Mobile Taking Over World
No we are not in the middle of a zombie attack. We are in the middle of smart phones and mobile taking over the world. Proof enough is a sector SLOW to attract investment capital is now a darling.

I just received an iPhone 6 and love it. It is easier for fat fingers to type on, the screen is liquid gold and the sound is full of soul, sorrow and truth. The KEY is to NOT think of the phone as a phone.

The smart phone is a game console. The second key is to realize finding ways to make your content, website and marketing relevant to a gamified world where everyone has a game console and are just waiting to be told (eager to be told) what and how to do something with it.

The camera in our phones is a good example. At first NO ONE CARED. Now we take pictures of our food before we eat and "selfies" have their own TV show. When the tech is there a combination of startup entrepreneurs and intrepid early adopters blaze trails into the forest of our future.

Two suggestions are clear. If your digital marketing isn't "mobile first" you are nuts and if your machete isn't sharp good luck with that :). M

Questions Are A Favorite Tactic
The question is a great piece of content online. Some questions we can write and then answer. Other questions we can use to promote clicks or create a daisy chain between content.

Best UGC catcher there is? Ask a question. Words like a charm on Facebook and we are proving how effective it can be with our starup Curagami on Moon-Audio.com right now (http://www.moon-audio.com/product-survey ).

Sporcle shows the power of Q&A content. What you don't see is how powerful Q&A content is behind the Google curtain. There is something about lists and Q&A that web spiders love. After a bit Sporcle becomes a tad unnerving, but as an accent to an ecommerce or content marketing site Q&A content can be a powerful engagement and UGC generating tool #usergeneratedconent,
