Halli Bjornsson, CEO and founder of Lockwood Publishing reveals how Avakin Life, Lockwood's 3-D virtual world app allowing users to mingle and meet new people, was able to chalk up 17 million installs and build a robust and loyal community of app advocates without spending a penny on advertising. Halli also zeroes in on the exciting opportunities for indie app developers in AR/VR, and shares details around his "epic bonus scheme" to attract and reward talent. In practice Lockwood shares a full 50% of its quarterly increase in profits with the team. This, and a talent for identifying lucrative app niches and audiences has allowed Lockwood to carve out a spot in the top 300 grossing apps in the U.S. app store.
