Hi everyone!
I am writing this tutorial to show you how to create a simple yet effective generalized app store to offer all your apps to your end users in one easy step rather than having to supply multiple downloader codes. This is great for rebranders offering a sampling of their demo apps or even to IPTV providers or resellers that offer more than one app to their clients.
Follow these steps and you can make a nice app store for your customers. Simplicity is best!
Step 1:
Create an account at https://xxlinked.me/ - You can use their free plan but it's recommended to upgrade to their Pro plan so you have more options and can follow along with me.
Step2:
Click on Biolink Pages and then add Biolink Page. At this point you can create a short link for your page, so pick something easy and quick. In my case, I chose "cowboy" for mine.
Step 3:
Go down the list of settings from top to bottom so you don't forget anything. You can select whatever customization options you'd like at this point.
Step 4:
After you've completed the settings steps shown above, you're ready to start designing your app store! Everything is setup as "blocks". I recommend either adding an image block with your logo at the top or you can add a heading block and type a heading for your page.
Step 5:
Next, click add block and choose "Image Grid" so that you can place your apps side by side. Fill in the details for the image grid pop up as shown below. You can insert whatever name you wish for your first app, in my case I chose Tivimate. Next, you'll want to supply an image. I just went on Google and searched for Tivimate logo on Google images and saved it. I then chose that logo file. Lastly is the destination URL. This is where you will insert a direct link to your APK file. You can use mediafire link or if you have your own hosting you can include direct APK link to there instead. Just be careful, sites like mega and other files hosting sites like Dropbox and Google Drive are not truly direct links. Mega pops up with screen before allowing you to download the APK for example...we don't want that here. You can leave the rest alone and just click "Submit".
Step 6:
You can continue to add image grids for however many apps you want to display and make available to your customers. This is what mine looks like after adding a few of my apps.
Step 7: You can now either give your customers your link directly from the website, for example mine is xxlinked.me/cowboy - You can go the extra step though and make life even easier for your customers though. You can take your link and create a downloader code using your link so that you are assigned a downloader code.
Now, all you have to do is issue one single downloader code to all your customers and it will open your xxlinked page right in downloader where your customers can just click on the app they wish to download. Can't get any easier than that! Best part is you don't need to reissue or create updated downloader codes because your link won't change. This means you can add/remove/edit your app links on xxlinked any time and the same downloader code will continue to work and show updated information the next time it's used.
I really hope this helps some of you out! It's super easy to set up and your customers will love not having multiple downloader codes to manage for each app that you offer.
If any of this is unclear you can reach out to me and I'll try to help you any way I can. Good luck!
