The multi-billion-dollar mobile gaming industry has far outpaced traditional entertainment, already bringing in three times more revenue than Hollywood. And the gaming industry remains on a fast track, with revenue to hit 160 billion US dollars in 2020 and 180 billion in 2021.
In the next decade, we believe that most of mobile game revenue growth will come from small, independent developers.
However, in our highly competitive marketplace, great code, gameplay, and design are no guarantee of success: understanding the business fundamentals is a must for making money with mobile games.
Turning a title into a revenue-generating hit takes expertise in marketing, community, and monetisation, plus a whole lot of testing.
That’s why we created the Business of Mobile Gaming Master Class.
Introducing BoMG, for Everyone Who Loves Games
Over the past nine years, we have learned how to make games profitable the hard way. Now our experience is distilled in one simple course, designed to teach developers how to turn their games into their livelihood.
Not a developer? Not a problem. The gaming industry needs marketers, community managers, and economists as much as we need coders and designers! Starting with this course, anyone with a passion for gaming can find a place and earn money in the games business. You can sign up for the free Business of Mobile Games Master Class here.
