Over 5.22 billion people have a mobile device in the world, so it is perhaps not surprising that many forward-thinking and innovative business companies and people are starting to develop their own mobile businesses. It is an industry that will never fade or deteriorate because cell phones are so vastly and regularly used and the reach of them will only get bigger and bigger. 

 

The introduction of the smartphone has resulted in mobile phones being big business

It is the introduction of the smartphone that made mobile businesses such a desirable proposition today. With all the features they entail such as internet access, an array of endless applications, and online shopping features, the money-making possibilities are there for all to see. 

 

Marketing and advertising is one avenue to go down

There are various types of innovative ideas associated with cell mobile businesses. One of the most successful of the mobile businesses is marketing and advertising. Whether you do this as advertising is your main source of income or you merely want to attract customers to buy your products or services the sheer number of people mobile advertising can reach makes it a sound investment. 

 

There are various different ways to market via the use of a mobile, the two most common are SMS messaging – which accounts for approximately 90% of mobile advertising revenue, and page banners – which tend to appear at the bottom or top of a mobile page. The simple fact that mobile advertising reaches more than computer internet advertising does say it all; the potential is huge.

 

Mobile security 

Another industry that is thriving at the moment is cybersecurity. With the increased use of smartphones comes the increased chance of a data breach. Therefore, working in security is certainly a sector that is in high demand.

 

This does not only mean developing security products; you could also consult businesses or create security content, such as reviewing VPNs, so that people get the information they need to protect their company.

 

Mobile phone apps

Another one of the various mobile businesses that have proven to be a great option is mobile phone applications or apps. There are so many different types of third party mobile phone applications; from social networking apps, to games, to travel apps, to recipes, to online stores… the list is endless. 

 

Some apps are free but the majority range in price from as little to $0.99 to about $10.00. You may think what is the point in developing an app if I am only going to gain $0.99 for it, but with smartphones reaching over one billion people – you do the math. Also, paying for the application is not the only source of revenue, apps can incorporate advertising and if your application is something like an online store or a game database then further chargers to your consumer can be made for purchasing different products. 

 

What about designing a mobile website?

If the two previous mobile businesses are not to your taste and you prefer to get more hands-on and creative, how about mobile web design and app designing. Almost every single business has a website these days and not all websites are mobile-friendly – however more and more are becoming so and you could earn a lot of money by attributing to this. The difficult task of installing and fitting web pages on to minute screens with simple navigation is something essential that will be required for a long time to come. 

 

Managing mobile projects

Finally, project management is another area that is thriving in the digital domain. You will usually need to attain a Master of IT Leadership if you want to make it far in this career, but luckily this is something that can be done online today. This could open many different doors, so it is definitely worth considering.

 

These mobile businesses are the main options in the industry today, however, they are by no means the only ones. There are many other smaller and more niche opportunities to be found and if you use a bit of imagination and creative thinking the possibilities are there for all to see. 

 

The mobile phone is an integral part of society today, often now seen as a need rather than a luxury, it is something that you can almost certainly say will never face a far-reaching decline. In business, it is important to jump on something that is thriving before it is too late and this is most certainly the case with the options mobile phones have to offer.
