Create a free website for your adult apps

April 26, 2013 by 1 Comment

It’s an unfortunate truth that many devs, while fantastic programmers, find their visual design muscle a little weak. It’s all good- we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Lucky for those of us that are design challenged, there are plenty of resources for you to create a kick as website for your customers to learn more about you, your apps, and possibly even hire you for their app development needs.

Tumblr.com

mikandi.tumblr.com

mikandi.tumblr.com

Although there are plenty of free website options for your adult apps, we love Tumblr the most. Tumblr makes it super easy to set up and share your content in their ecosystem. Plus, there are tons of free and premium themes you can use that are visually striking. You can find anything from magazine themes, to minimal, to portfolios. The very best part about Tumblr? It’s adult-friendly.

Above is a screenshot of our new Tumblr blog. (Why do we have a Tumblr blog? Read this.)

Here are some free and premium stunning Tumblr themes that you can use for your free adult website.

Why you need a website for your adult apps

Aside from MiKandi requiring you supply your website when you upload an app, there are other reasons why you should put up a site for your adult apps.

Instill confidence in your customers

Customers are wary of downloading porn. We don’t blame them. Years of shady practices from adult sites has totally destroyed customers’ trust in porn companies. At MiKandi, we’re dedicated to setting ourselves apart and being a Next Generation adult company. We do that by being transparent, personable, and accessible. You can, and should, do the same.

Your website should introduce you to your customers. You should make it easy for them to contact you via email, Twitter, and Facebook if you have a fan page. Consider having a blog where you post your updates to your apps in MiKandi, frequently asked questions, and where customers can leave feedback.

Who are you more likely to trust?

website

That’s not to say the first developer isn’t trustworthy (that’s why I blurred out their information). But as a customer, I’d feel more comfortable giving my business to DoMeFaster.com. Upon visiting their site,  I discover they have Twitter and YouTube accounts that they’re active on. Clearly, this is a developer who actively promotes and supports his or her app. In fact, you should really buy it now- it’s a great app.

Marketing

Your website can showcase your portfolio of apps available in MiKandi. With our Direct Inward Links, you can drive traffic directly to your app in the MiKandi Adult App Store. We’ve even created banners for you.

How else can you get the world out? Use Twitter! These MiKandi developers do a fantastic job promoting their apps on Twitter, to name a few.

Freelance work

You’ll have more luck getting freelance work if you post your portfolio online. We are consistently asked to recommend developers for app development projects. We happily refer folks to developers in our community. But if you don’t have a site, it’s a lot harder for us to refer you. I mean, we know your work is good because we’ve downloaded your apps, but that doesn’t mean a potential employer wants to go through the trouble of downloading your porn apps if you won’t go through the trouble of creating a portfolio.

So what are you waiting for?

It’s easy, fast, and FREE to get a website up for your adult app business today. If you have any questions, we’re happy to help! Comment below or shoot us an email at developer{at}mikandi{dot}com.

Promote your apps with Direct Inward Links

April 24, 2013 by 2 Comments

A couple of years ago, we introduced our Direct Inward Link API which enables you to send traffic directly to your apps in the MiKandi Adult App Store. Since then, many of you have put your direct links to great use in your marketing campaigns on your websites, ads, and on Twitter.

With the launch of the New MiKandi, we decided to revisit our Direct Inward Links. The result? Your links are now concise and easier to share.

Here is an example of an old link:

http://link.mikandi.com/app?app_id=6984&referrer=20

And here’s the new one:

http://mikandi.com/app/6984

The old links still work just fine, but we recommend switching over to the new link structure for brevity’s sake. And guess what? You can also share your app via tweet right from our website.

Tweet this app!

When you use your Direct Inward Links your visitors will have the following experiences:

  • Android visitors who are currently MiKandi users will be sent directly to the app’s detail page in the MiKandi Adult App Store.
  • Android visitors who are not MiKandi users will be prompted to download and install the MiKandi Adult App Store. Once installation is complete, the MiKandi Adult App Store will open and take the user directly to your app’s detail page.
  • Non-Android visitors will be directed to the app’s detail page on our brand spanking new responsive website.

We highly recommend setting consumer expectations when using these links so that they don’t get concerned that you’re making them download something that is unsafe. Let them know that the link will take them to your adult app in the MiKandi Adult App Store. We’ve also created some badges for you to share on your websites. Feel free to right+click save away.

If you have trouble finding your Direct Inward Links, shoot us an email at develop{at}mikandi{dot}com and we’ll be happy to help you out.

Google Play enforces anti-adult policies, drives developers away

March 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment

It’s long been known that “there’s a porn store on Android” and “folks who want porn can buy an Android phone.” (Steve Jobs) While that still rings true when it comes to porn apps, it appears we need to make an amendment.

Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone and download MiKandi, the porn store on Android.

Google Play: “We love boobies…. SYKE!”

Since the transition from Android Market to Google Play, Google has beefed up its policy around adult material, and has begun to drive developers of adult apps out of their market. Last week, the market banned the app Reddit is Fun for violating its content policy. Read more on Pulp Tech at ZDNet. We’ve reached out to the developer to ask him to share the app in MiKandi, where we will hug it and pet it and squeeze it and name it George, but we haven’t heard back. Andrew Shu, if you’re reading this- we want you!

While we’re sad to see Google Play follow Apple’s path, we understand why a mainstream market would want to keep adult material out. You don’t want a market that appeals to kids and adults. At least Google gives adults the option to get the apps they want by downloading them from third party sources (e.g. MiKandi, the world’s first and largest adult app market.)

[VIDEO] See our response video to Nixie Pixel – Do iPhone users get the shaft?

Focus is good

Joining the world’s first and largest adult app market has its perks. Developers in MiKandi report higher relevant downloads and installs in our market because our audience is specifically looking for adult apps.

In the past week, we’ve received many requests from developer driven out of Google Play to join our market. And we take them with open arms. It may be the other markets’ “moral responsibility” to keep porn off phones, but at MiKandi, it’s our responsibility to treat adults like adults.

If you’re a developer that has been affected by Google’s decision to purge Google Play of adult material, contact us today at developer@mikandi.com.

Adult friendly ads for your porn apps

October 11, 2011 by 2 Comments

Dude, where are my ads?

Earlier this year when Mystic Game Development launched the uncensored version of their controversial app iBoobs in MiKandi, they shared something very interesting with us- although Google allowed them to keep their free app in the Android Market, Admob stopped serving ads to the application. Any developer will tell you that ad support is vital if you intend to distribute free apps. By blocking iBoobs Uncensored and cutting ads to the ad supported free version of iBoobs, Google has essentially cut all revenue streams for the app in the official Android Market. Not cool.

Many developers express their concerns to us over the use of mobile ad-networks in their adult applications. Unclear guidelines of acceptable content makes developers worry about suddenly losing their ad support. So where is an adult app developer to turn? It’s important to MiKandi that our registered developers have all the tools they need for success. So we’ve been working hard to find our developers the very best adult friendly ad network. We’re happy to say we’ve found a solution for you.

Announcing MiKandi’s partnership with Reporo

Reporo is one of the world’s fastest growing mobile ad networks and is exclusively focusedon the adult sector. More than 300 advertisers buy CPC campaigns via local language territory managers inLatin America, US, Japan, Europe and SE Asia, and these mobile adult campaigns are targeted in over 40countries. And now they’re available to MiKandi developers!

MiKandi developers can join the largest adult mobile ad network by logging into developer.mikandi.com. (Not a MiKandi developer? Register your free account today.) After registering with the Reporo system from within the developer dashboard, download the Reporo ad serving SDK. Developers can monitor earnings, impression volumes, CTRs and CPMs within the MiKandi developerdashboard. Developers retain 60% of all revenue generated by their applications. “Reporo serves almost 7bn ads per month for our web and app publishers and the number keeps on growing. Their revenues areincreasing month on month,” shares Reporo’s Global Publishing Manager, Ben Keirle. “This partnership allows a mutually beneficial opportunity to deliver higher revenues for all.”

Helping developers make money

Developers rely on three models of monetizing applications- pay per download, in-app purchases, and free,ad-supported applications. Prior to MiKandi, developers of adult applications were shut out of all threemodels. In November of 2010, when MiKandi launched its virtual currency, dubbed MiKandi Gold,developers finally had the power to sell their adult apps for the first time. Shortly after, MiKandi releasedits in-app billing API, which allows developers to up-sell additional content within applications. MiKandi’spartnership with Reporo rounds out the third component of monetization, bringing an adult-focused adnetwork into the fold.

“It became clear to us that we needed a solution for our developers that delivered relevantads to their adult apps with transparent guidelines,” explains MiKandi president Jesse Adams. “We foundthat Reporo’s flexible system integration and innovative approach to delivering adult ads offers exactlywhat MiKandi and our developers need.”

MiKandi partners with Cherry Media to offer content solution for app developers

September 1, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Hey there App Stars! Have you got a great start on an adult application but are missing one major piece to the puzzle- legal content? We’ve got more good news for you. Cherry Media S.L., the industry leader for mobile erotic entertainment and MiKandi, the world’s first App market for adults, today launched a highly targeted and unique content service for MiKandi’s App Developer network.

Copyright, shmopyright. Right? Wrong.

When you register a MiKandi Developer account and publish applications, you agree to adhere to US laws and regulations. Among other things, you also confirm that you either own the material you share or you have been granted permission from the copyright owner to distribute the material. If a copyright owner finds their material in your app and determines that they have not granted you permission or a license, they can send us a DMCA Take Down notice to remove your application immediately. Get enough DMCA Take Down notices against your account, and we have to delete your account. Like, legally have to.

Furthermore, your content must be U.S.C. 2257 compliant and by uploading, you confirm that it is. If it’s not, you can be in deep doo-doo with the United States Government. If you’re pulling content off the web without the copyright owner’s permission, you’re running the risk of 1.) piracy, 2.) distributing content that is not legal in the United States.

Save yourself the headache. Get legal content from legitimate sources.

Utilizing Cherry Media’s award-winning and extensive portfolio of consumer focused content and concepts and their extensive global database of glamour, erotic and adult producers, the unique partnership offers a range of content services to effectively accommodate every type of adult App business model.

The content services cover everything from cost-effective content packs for simple gallery type applications through to conceptually based app content creation and right up to fully bespoke production facilities covering a range of leading industry producers globally and top name stars.

Says Julia Dimambro, MD & Founder of Cherry Media

Obviously we have been actively supporting and promoting MiKandi since their launch at the end of 2009 – especially in light of the Apple Store bikini app removal in February 2010. We always expected that we would work together as the App market developed, given our market positions. However, this new service really answers the current demand in the market place. The ‘band wagon’ run to develop and launch apps has highlighted the need for a more strategic and conceptual approach to erotic app development, especially as many developers are working to fixed budgets and monetisation is still challenging.

Tim Adams, Head of Developer Relations at MiKandi, adds:

We have an extensive network of developers, many of whom have fantastic concepts and ideas for applications, but are not necessarily able to realise those ideas due to content logistical issues. Cherry Media can offer not only various content solutions, but can also help developers actively optimise their app concepts utilising Cherry’s 8 years targeted experience of global mobile adult consumer trends.

Learn more by logging into your developer account at developer.mikandi.com. Not a MiKandi Developer? Register today- it’s free!

Or visit www.cherrysauce.com/mikandi to see the goods. You can also email mikandi@cherrysauce.com for more information on content options and pricing models to best suit your app objectives and budget. Revenue share, fixed-fee and buyout models available depending on app strategy.

Cinemax brings softcore porn to Apple App Store

August 17, 2011 by 3 Comments

In a clear break of Apple’s strict no-porn policy, Cinemax’s app Max Go has been approved by the App Store. Among other channels, the app includes softcore porn programming, Max After Dark. The app clearly informs users that it includes “frequent/intense sexual content or nudity.” Additionally, only 17+ users will be allowed to download it from the App Store and parental controls are available in the app. In other words, its not hiding anything from Apple.

Apple’s app approval process has long been known to be arbitrary and inconsistent. But we thought that with last year’s purge of racy applications, Apple sent a very strong message to adult companies and developers – adult apps are not allowed in the Apple App Store. The news was disappointing to many, at least Apple was finally giving us a clear answer.

Last year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed that it was the company’s “moral responsibility” to keep the porn off their phones. Around the same time, he took a little jab at us and our beloved Android when he said the following:

You know, there’s a porn store for Android. You can download nothing but porn. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That’s a place we don’t want to go – so we’re not going to go there.

And then there is Apple’s no-porn policy:

Apps containing pornographic material, defined by Webster’s Dictionary as ‘explicit descriptions or displays of sexual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings,’ will be rejected.

So what gives?

Although no indication has been given as to why Cinemax was given the green light, one can’t help but wonder if the programming giant has been given preferential treatment. It wouldn’t be the first time. After the Great Purge of 2010, which included the ban of bikini apps, many were baffled to see Playboy, Victoria’s Secret, and Sport Illustrated Sports Edition available. Yet, even Playboy couldn’t slip some extra skin in their application. As a result, the gentlemen’s magazine developed a HTML5 web app.

At MiKandi, our stance continues to be that the mobile phone belongs to the consumer who owns it and that they should be able to download and purchase the applications that they desire. We may be a small app store market, but we’re proud that we treat our developers and customers fairly and equally.

Get MiKandi today!

If you’re an adult and you’re tired of being told what you can and cannot have on your device, get yourself an Android and download MiKandi. MiKandi is the world’s first and largest adult app market.

You can download MiKandi onto your Android 1.6+ device in three simple steps:

  1. Change your device’s settings to allow installations from third parties. To do this, go to Menu> Settings> Applications and tap Unknown Sources. (AT&T customer? There are some things you should know first.)
  2. Go to m.mikandi.com on your mobile browser. Tap the blue Download Now button.
  3. Once the download is complete, you’ll be prompted to install. Review the permissions, tap Install, and voila! Our bevy of the world’s best adult apps at your fingertips.

Are you a developer?

Pornstar outreach and promoting your adult apps through Twitter

July 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment

A few months ago, MiKandi released our Direct Inward Link feature, which allows developers to direct visitors straight to their porn app in the MiKandi App Market. These links make it easy for developers to promote their apps through social networks such as Twitter. But did you know that you can also use Twitter to reach out to pornstars directly for content to use in your apps? (Follow us on Twitter @MiKandiStore)  We found one registered MiKandi developer doing just that, and doing it well. This week we asked Leroy of AndroidPornApps to share his insight and tips on grabbing the attention of adult performers through Twitter, promoting his apps using direct inward link, and a recent misunderstanding with Brazzers over their affiliate program guidelines (Are you an affiliate using promotional material in your app? See this blog post before you publish!)

Guest Blogger: Leroy,@AndroidPornApps

Leroy- I am delighted to be invited to write a blog article for this blog. I have been designing small apps for about 3-4 months. As soon as I found out that Flash CS5 had the ability to publish straight to Android, I thought it was a fantastic way of getting involved with Android apps.

I have used Flash since its macromedia days before Adobe took over. I think I started on Flash 5. I have also been designing web sites for approximately 10 years. I mainly designed web sites for glamour models and pornstars. I was lucky enough to be recommended through word of mouth and saw my business grow. But, as my family grew and time constraints became an issue I had to look for full-time work and hence found myself working behind a desk in a local government office working in the housing department. But, as my family have started to grow older and I have a little more spare time on my hands, I decided to get involved again in the porn industry. I set up a few blogs and web sites and promoted Brazzers (Juggcash) and for a few years I was earning good money in my spare time, but over the past few years my sign ups have dried up and I decided to divert into Android Apps.

I’m by no means an expert programmer and I have found the gulf between coding in ActionScript 2 and coding in ActionScript 3 a bit extreme, but with the huge amount of tutorials and working open source code online, I have been able to publish a few apps in no time at all. I initially just want to make Android apps using Brazzers promo material, but I have had a few issues with Brazzers not allowing me to use their promotional materials that are available to use on any web site. I’m hoping that issue can be addressed as I really enjoy working with Brazzers. The photographs and videos are amazing and the pornstars are the best around.

So I had to find new content to use to create my Android apps. I have found that Twitter is an amazing way of communicating directly with pornstars who maybe interested in getting an app designed especially for themselves to help promote their own web sites. I have been able to create small Android porn apps that have a direct link to their web sites. Following pornstars is simple, and then getting a pornstar to notice your tweet to them is straight forward. I have found that being polite and getting straight to the point in 127 words the best practise. I would then ask them to email me if they want more information about my proposals.

Twitter is also the best way of promoting my apps once I have published them onto MiKandi.com.  I find that releasing a tweet with a direct link to the app on MiKandi can really get my apps noticed and downloaded very quickly. I also direct my Twitter followers to my blog when I post a new article about any new ideas or up and coming apps that I may be working on.

I have also just opened a new Android app forum that I am hoping with generate members to come and promote their own apps and talk about anything Android.

Happy Apping!

What is a DMCA Take Down notice?

July 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Hopefully you’ll never receive an email from us informing you that we received a DMCA Take Down notice for one of your apps. But if you have, you might have wondered,

What the hell is a DMCA Take Down notice?

DMCA stands for Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It is a United States copyright law that ”criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works.” (Source) In this case, it makes it illegal to distribute material or content that you don’t have licenses for or the copyrights to.

When you register a MiKandi Developer account and publish applications, you agree to adhere to US laws and regulations. Among other things, you also confirm that you either own the material you share or you have been granted permission from the copyright owner to distribute the material. If a copyright owner finds their material in your app and determines that they have not granted you permission or a license, they can send us a DMCA Take Down notice to remove your application immediately. We’ll send you an email explaining what has happened, and what steps you can take to resolve the matter with the copyright owner. (Learn more about Counter-Notice Process.)

Sometimes it’s a simple misunderstanding, such as unclear affiliate program guidelines. Others times it’s more, such as blatant theft (NOT cool). Probably more often it’s unfamiliarity with the law.

To share or not to share

It’s better to stay on the safe side of the law. If you have some material and you’re not sure if you can use it in your apps, you should consult a lawyer. It also helps to ask yourself these questions:

  1. Am I the copyright owner?
  2. Have I obtained permission from the copyright owner to use the material?

If the answers to both of these questions are no, then you’re not allowed to distribute the material in MiKandi.

  1. If I’m an affiliate, can I use the material to promote the brand?

It depends on the brand’s affiliate program guidelines. If you’re unsure, it is best to contact the brand directly.

  1. I found this material on another website. It’s available freely on the web. Can I use it in my apps?

Unless you have been granted permission from the copyright owner, you are not allowed to distribute the material in MiKandi.

Protecting your stuff

Many months ago, someone was selling the MiKandi App Market in other markets. Even though MiKandi is free to download, it didn’t give the “developer” the right to distribute our app without our permission. So we know how it feels to have someone take your stuff without asking. If you find your app has been illegally distributed in the MiKandi App Market, please email us at developer@mikandi.com and we’ll work toward a resolution immediately.

Help us help you promote your apps

May 29, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Hey devs, have you got an adult app in MiKandi that needs some pimpin’ out? If you’ve got a hot app, we’re here to help! MiKandi has a Featured app list that we update every Monday evening (PST). If you’ve got a quality app that would do well there, send us an email, tweet, or leave us a post on our Facebook page. There are 1000+ adult apps in the MiKandi adult app market, so we may accidentally overlook yours. Don’t take it personal, just email us and we’ll give it a look-see.

On top of that, every Friday MiKandi sends out an App of the Week notification. These notifications are delivered to our over 400,000+ app store installs. (Don’t want notifications? You can turn them off by tabbing over to MiAccount> Settings.)

How do we determine what apps we want to promote? Below is a brief guideline of what we look for. If you feel your app is a good match, we want to hear about it.

Go Native

MiKandi customers come here looking for adult mobile apps, not mobile sites. So we want to promote native adult-themed applications. To us, a mobile site just isn’t all that interesting. But if you’ve got one that can change our minds, then we’re up for the challenge. ;)

Be Different

Think outside the content viewer box. True, a lot of apps we promote are video or photo viewers, but what really gets our attention is something a little different. Social, games, live chat- we want more! If you’ve got a content viewer, but it has some kick-ass, unique features, let us know.

Be Cohesive

MiKandi is building a community of adults enjoying a unique experience around adult mobile communication. There is no other market quite like it and your participation in the community only makes it stronger. The more you use the tools we provide (direct inward linking, MiKandi Gold, in-app billing API), the stronger you make our family.

Be Real

List an email address that you use, a website that’s yours, answer support inquires. This is the era of social media- if you’re not readily available to your customers, it’s a red flag. So please, be real. Google.com is not your website. We ain’t dumb.

Got a media kit?

A media kit makes it that much easier to help us promote your app. If you’ve got a video, more screenshots, some press releases, and quotes, please forward it to us.  While you’re at it, add us to your media contact list and let us know whenever you release a new feature, release more apps, or have some big news. Got contracted to develop an app for a hot adult studio? Dude! We want to know!

Not a MiKandi Developer?

MiKandi is the app market that treats adults as adults, and we see ourselves as your partner. That’s why we’re continuously building tools to help you distribute and market the adult apps that your customers want. Can’t find a payment processor that will let you sell adult content? We built that. Want to send customers directly to your app in an app market? We built that. Want to up-sell content with in-app billing? We built that too.

Join our family at developer.mikandi.com today. We look forward to seeing your adult apps in our market!

MiKandi releases In-App Billing on Android

March 28, 2011 by 1 Comment

When Google announced on March 24 that they intend to launch full in-app billing support this week, we knew we wouldn’t be getting much sleep over the weekend. We’ve been chained to our desks, ‘coding like we’re dumb’, in an effort to beat Goliath to the punch.

We’re excited and relieved to announce that this morning MiKandi launched full in-app billing support for our registered developers. The API, which has been in beta since New Year’s, utilizes our virtual currency MiKandi Gold, and works on the device whether MiKandi is installed or not.

After the product went live, one of our developers had this to say:

“zzzzzzvbbbvvfvvbbzbn”

In-app billing has been long anticipated by the Android developer community. Customers are voting with their dollars on other mobile platforms, indicating that in-app billing is crucial to an app developer’s quiver of revenue tools. As part of the launch, PinkTV is releasing its own app which integrates MiKandi’s latest API (Get the PinkTV VOD app today). Bryan Clinger of PinkTV shares,

At PinkTV, we’ve been very excited about in-app billing because we know that our customers want a taste before they buy. This allows us to enable taste tests in a seamless manner and MiKandi’s speed in launching this is impressive, considering how long it’s taken other app platform providers.

Industry analysts Juniper Research forecast that revenues from in-app/in-game purchases will overtake the traditional pay-per-download model as the primary source of monetization by 2013. “At MiKandi, we believe that our job is to make developers money and to make customers happy. In-app billing satisfies both of these goals, particularly in the adult space,” says MiKandi co-founder and president Jesse Adams.

With over 500,000 apps downloaded per month, MiKandi is confident that in-app billing will provide a substantial boost to the earnings power of its 1,300 developers. Existing MiKandi developers are invited to begin integrating the API immediately. New developers can register for a free MiKandi developer account at http://developer.mikandi.com.
