Mobile is taking over the desktop usage and time spent on mobile or smartphones are seeing constant and rapid  growth.

Before you decide to build your first mobile app, your first most important task is to define or know the reason you want to create an app to begin with. Once you do this and write this down or know it,  the rest of the process becomes easier.

There are many app builders available today, some of them paid and some of them free. Today we are having a look at the app builder given below.


 

Yes you thought it was closed down but its back again. the popular google app inventor is back  thanks to Mit.edu  who have brought the “appinventor” back to the people to enable them to make apps without having to dip into their pockets for cash.

There are other online mobile app makers like widgetbox , but they charge  anyway from $25 per month/per app to $100 per month /per app which can be a bit too pricey  for a average user. i have done a demo app building on their interface and its pretty easy to make a mobile app at widgetbox

The app inventor from Mit.edu is free to use, though it does not have the advanced interface like widgetbox

mit edu app inventor google Make free apps

There is another online app builder  called http://ibuildapp.com/ as well but i have not checked it out.

Make Mobile apps for free with MIT app inventor

The “Android apps creation tool” is no longer being managed by Google — MIT has taken over the source and worked up its own version. Now you,  can go and log into the MIT App Inventor, so long as you have a valid Google ID and start creating your own apps.

The App Inventor, first launched by Google in mid-2010 before being discontinued and open-sourced last year

Other options to find yourself a cheap app builder  is to have a look on odesk.com  , freelancer.com for a app builder, or get in touch with me  and i will get you in touch with a app builder that built one for me  at a good price  some time ago.

Breaking new payment technology PayID launches in Australia

April 28, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Want to pay a friend or family member some money you owe them. Pay Id is the new technology that is making this process easy. You can use this instant payment transfer technology on your phone , computer or ipad.

pay id australia new

All you need now to make a payment to anybody is their phone number or email.

Technology has been improving in leaps and bounds, with major banks now allowing  their customers to use their smartphones to withdraw money from ATM without bank cards (called cardless cash with commonwealth bank).  Westpac bank has their own version of cardless cash as well

Pay ID takes this one step  further  allowing you to pay anyone instantly.

How does PAY ID work?

You need to register your email or phone number with Payid in your bank account. I have a bank account with commonwealth bank, so I have trialled this feature with  their new pay id service and attached some snapshots below of how it works with commonwealth bank.

[Mind you no new technology is scam free and i will tell you a little story below, to make sure  you stay aware of scammers too. Keep reading 🙂 ]

How to register

To create a PayID you’ll need an eligible CommBank account, an Australian mobile phone number3 and the latest version of the CommBank app.

How it works

pay id block

Use PayID to receive money

To receive payments you’ll need to register your mobile number as a PayID using the latest version of CommBank app. It only takes a couple of minutes.

Friends and family will then be able to pay you through their own bank’s mobile or internet banking using your PayID.

Use PayID to send money

To send payments to someone else, they just need to provide you with their PayID.

This may be their mobile number however other PayID types may include email, ABN, ACN and landline phone number, depending on their bank.

Once you have registered your mobile phone number with pay id, you just need to click pay id link in your bank account on your smartphone or computer and click on pay someone.

It will give you the option of pay via email or phone. Tap or click one of them. If you click on use mobile number – Next screen will allow you to choose a contact number from your phone contacts.

Just choose the persons mobile number and set $$ amount and click pay.

Your done – you have just transferred money  to the other party

You will get an sms acknowledgement that you have sent money to that person and the person  receiving money will also get an sms telling them they have received money and how they can claim it.

[ You can only link one PayID to one account at one financial institution. For example, if you have two personal everyday bank accounts, you would need two unique PayIDs – one linked to each account.]

Want to know more about pay id ?

Demo by beyond bank

Here is what payid.com.au has to say about  their new payment innovation

PayID is a simple new service that makes sending and receiving money from your bank account a little bit easier. You create your PayID by choosing something easy

PAy ID is also linked  to the NPP ( the New Payments Platform ) , which has the ability to send each other money in “real time. BSB and account numbers will still exist, but individuals and businesses can create other identifiers, called “PayID“.

Why use PayID?

Transfer money to friends and family using their PayID as quickly and easily as you transfer money between your CommBank accounts.

  • Fast: Near real-time1 payments across participating banks
  • Easy: No more scrambling for your BSB and account number to get paid
  • Mobile: Available through the latest version of the CommBank app
  • Secure: Backed by our 100% security guarantee2
  • Simple registration: A few clicks and you’re ready

First time payments to a new payee may be held for up to 24 hours as a security measure.

What this means With NPP?

The NPP platform will remove the delays caused by weekends and public holidays and mean you can make transfers after business hours.

Around 60 banks, credit unions and building societies will begin rolling out services to their customers from today, with the number of financial institutions and accounts linked to the NPP progressively increasing over the coming months.

The Reserve Bank developed new infrastructure, the RITS Fast Settlement Service, to enable the settlement of NPP transactions between financial institutions in real time on a 24/7 basis across exchange settlement accounts at the Reserve Bank. The Reserve Bank is also an NPP participant with newly developed services utilising the NPP for its government customers.

Other payment platforms for online purchase and payments :

Alipay, which has an estimated 520 million active users, now supports payments in 27 currencies across 30 countries.

Android Pay has also been rapidly increasing in popularity.

Fraud risk with new PAY ID  technology

With any new technology there comes the risk of new frauds and scams happening too.  With Payid there will be concerns as payments happen in real time.The big concern  will be detecting fraudulent activity and if this can be prevented as well in real time. This will surely have to be looked into and managed well by the banks’ risk management area.

Payments on the New Payments Platform may be faster and easier to make, but will they be safer? Time will tell.

Choosing the best eCommerce platform for your online store

April 16, 2018 by admin 11 Comments

building a online store and brand with ecommerce in 2016

Create Ecommerce Store  (no credit card required) – Start a 14 Day Free Trial Now‎

Many people still think that building an online shop involves a lot of technical wizardry and skills that would be required when it is exactly the opposite today.  Big software vendors ( Shopify and big commerce) have made it so easy that anyone can just sign up and build an online store within an hour or less and start selling.

“Big commerce” is an Australia, Sydney-based software start-up company that provides end to end services to start your eCommerce online store. It started up as a startup not too long ago and is now a well-established portal for building online store-front websites. The Shopify solution caters to the beginner entrepreneur as well as the established million dollars a day shops.

Bigcommerce powers over 95,000 online shops and have processed over $5 billion in transactions and that is no easy task. Its even got its top competitors like “Shopify” “Volusion” “3Dcart” worried. They have a good collection of store design add-ons and also provide website store examples to give you an idea of how your store can look. But Shopify is fast catching up with its ease of use and perfectly priced plans.

Bigcommerce was founded by BRW Young Rich Listers Eddie Machaalani and Mitchell Harper. Their customer’s list boasts some top companies like Samsung, Marvel, Cetaphil and Ubisoft yet they have affordable plans for smaller eCommerce stores. Below is our review on BC focusing on what’s important to you.

Building an online business store is no easy task and trust me I have gone through this well and truly a few times to know how hard it can be. There is more involved in starting an e-commerce store than it is for just starting a  blog or website, however software companies like Big Commerce and Shopify have made this task much easier with their custom software and help given in the form of written guides and video guides to set everything up.

There are plenty of reviews online, but I have my own unique viewpoints of why Bigcommerce and Shopify is an e-commerce store builder that you should consider trying out if you are really serious about creating your own online store.

Right now with both of them upping their game – if its ease of use and an all in one solution your after – I would recommend Shopify if your starting small and intend to grow big, but if you need a big solution for a big online shop then its “big” commerce. If your just looking to start a website as a blog or for your small business then these hosts are not for you as they are online shop  specific, you can check out my other 2019 webhosts listing over here  for starting a blog/website.

List of top 5 E-commerce platforms

 

Here is a list of Ecommerce providers below(updated for 2018)best of 2019 list

1. BigCommerce – www.bigcommerce.com

2. Shopify – www.shopify.com  ( Recommended)

3. 3Dcart – www.3dcart.com

4. Volusion – www.volusion.com

5. Magento- http://magento.com

I’ve added one more platform Magento – which is self-hosted on the list

Take a look at these online store examples here and you can see what Bigcommerce or Shopify can do for you.

Cheap E-commerce Solution: Woo Commerce + WordPress Blog

Now before we go any further, I need to say that if you really are on a low budget and just want to test things out then this other option here might suit you. It includes setting up a wordpress blog and using a free payment and online shop plugin called woo commerce. This method is a bit more involved than using Shopify which is custom based shop software that works out of the box.

wordpress and woocommerceWith this method – you can get a wordpress blog for  ($3.95 a month) and add a woo commerce plugin (free) to get started quickly with your e-commerce shop /website/or blog.

This set up will allow you to run a blog store front on wordpress and sell products and accept payments via paypal through the woo-commerce plugin. You might want a spend a bit of extra money ($20 to $60) though to get a decent storefront wordpress design ( I recommend elegant themes for his ) to help attract traffic and build trust with a good-looking storefront design for your store.

What is this WooCommerce Plugin ?

WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that lets you turn your WordPress site into a full-featured online store. It gives you an easy way to handle inventory, payments, shipping, and more.

It gives you reports on customers and products and it works with practically any theme and doesn’t get in the way of your website. It can be easily integrated into an existing site as well.

The difference between this above cheap method and a proper eCommerce platform are many.

In an e-commerce platform, you will be able to manage everything – all in one place like store management, inventory management, shopping cart systems, social networking, blogging, SEO, security, ease of use and expandability. Costs play a big role in this decision. – but with wordpress and woo commerce – the connection between listing and payments are not as seamless and needs some tech knowledge or willingness to test and learn.

The good thing however with woo commerce is that Paypal tells you whenever you receive a payment with this method implemented so you can follow up with the delivery of product etc once you receive notification via woocommerce, so it’s not that hard after all.

Feel free to choose whichever platform you are comfortable with but let’s get on with the custom-made online shop builders – big commerce platform & Shopify

Pros and Cons of Using Bigcommerce for your online store

Let’s start with the features that big commerce offers because every person needs to know what they are getting when they sign up for an online store solution.

Features:

Pros

Integrated Education – As I said earlier their big university video tutorials are a great help on setting things up and teaching you all about this stuff

All in one platform – They have integrated pretty much everything together, so if you want reviews, an easy way to add & delete products, inventory management, integrated payments, analytics, order management, coupon code creation, discount functionality, easy shipping integration, etc., It’s all in one place. They have other marketing buttons like sell on Facebook, Google trusted sites which you can integrate into their dashboard.

In- Built Marketing Features – once you have logged into their admin panel and click on the marketing tab, you will find features like email marketing (keeping in touch with customers and promoting products)

Speed & Security for your store – You don’t need to worry about your store being online all the time ( they got a 99.95 % Uptime guarantee), as they ensure that your store is speedy to load and also secure from online threats.

Cons:

Design – While Big commerce can still work out of the box, you would probably need to get a designer to make it look top end. Their design functionality is basic but good enough to get started.T heir platform is easy enough for an outside designer to make you a custom good design for your shop with their platform.

Pricing plans for Big commerce

The 2nd most important thing you need to know is pricing for the ecommerce plans they have. You might argue, that in fact this is the most important point and I would still agree.

BIGCOMMERCE PRICING

Initially, Bigcommerce offered quite a few different pricing plans with different options, but they have refined it over the years and whittled it down to just three plans:

    • Bigcommerce Standard: $29.95 per month (Get it now)
    • Bigcommerce Plus: $79.95 per month
    • Bigcommerce Enterprise: pricing varies, depending on your business requirements

The ‘standard’ and ‘plus’ plans are aimed at individuals and small businesses. The more advanced Enterprise plan is geared more towards large businesses and corporates (users with very high bandwidth & advanced functionality requirements).

About the Popular standard plan:

BIGCOMMERCE STANDARD

Bigcommerce’s cheapest offering, the ‘standard’ plan, costs $29.95 a month and is more expensive than the equivalent starter plans offered by its competitors Shopify and Volusion ($9 and $15 respectively) – but BC offers a more comprehensive starter plan than either of those plans

One of the good features about Big commerce I like is that right from the start when they began they had the user in mind and has always had a very good support base with nice written tutorials and also Video tutorials to support their paying customers. They, in fact, have updated it even further and now got Bigcommerce University which puts a first-class e-commerce education at your fingertips all in one place – to help you succeed.

This section has In-depth videos hosted online store experts will teach you how to launch your store, attract shoppers, improve conversion and build loyalty. As these are on videos you can watch them and when you want according to your schedule.

Bigcommerce also works with Alibaba.com

alibaba and dropshipping

https://www.bigcommerce.com/alibaba

Alibaba.com (also known as Ali express app) the leading cheap gadget, clothing and pretty much everything store that ships stuff directly from China has now partnered with big commerce. You can source high-performing, competitively priced products with Alibaba Wholesale and then learn how to quickly create a beautiful, optimized online store to sell all those great new products you sourced from Alibaba.com

What some of ALIBABA + Big commerce customers have to say :

In two years, we’ve seen a 150% increase in online sales. We had a big vision, and Bigcommerce has not only supported us, they’ve grown with us.

– Kirsten Dickerson, Raven + Lily

A little bit about ALIBABA.com

How to sell cheap China imports through your own website

Yes They have ABANDONED CART SAVER

What I really like about big commerce is the BIGCOMMERCE’S ABANDONED CART SAVER FEATURE. Bigcommerce’s abandoned cart feature – it’s one of the best out there. The tool allows you to create up to three automated emails to site visitors who go part of the way through the sales process only to leave your store without buying anything. T

This has the potential to dramatically increase your revenue with little effort – other than the ‘one-off’ time investment in setting up the automated messages – being involved.

Software to Record your Audio and Video Streams from streaming sources

February 21, 2018 by admin 4 Comments

recording audio and video from streaming websites software 2017

A long time ago there was either not as many services that provide online video streaming or services that provided streaming of audio and video  and the ones that did  were patchy at the best. It wasn’t pleasant with listening to  buffering music and watching buffering video.

Things have come a long way now, Today there are a large number of video and audio streaming services from big ones like you tube and then popular services like Spotify,  Apple Music , Google Music, Sound cloud and many more.

audials 2017Many people today have paid monthly memberships with these services and it has become more affordable to actually get a streaming membership as you can set up favourites, favourite genres or playlists and listen whenever you want, but what do you do if you want to listen to it offline.
