Hi Marktedson,

It's so nice to "meet" you. I just read your post, and I was wondering if you would like to chat about the potential to work together. I am a publisher account manager at Adscend Media, and we work with alot of game/app developers who are looking for ways rot monetize their apps, specifically via offers, offer walls, content locking, etc. If you think there is a fit here, please feel free to email me (ilyssa@adscendmedia.com) or add me on Skype (AdscendIlyssa). Can't wait to hear back soon.

Thanks,
Ilyssa

If you have developed an Android game app, don’t just stick to submitting it on Google Play. There are lots of other app stores like AppBrain, Slide Me, GetJar, Mobogenie with some good options for submitting your game app. Customers do not step back from buying paid games which promise better levels of satisfaction to add on fun by going up a few levels. For getting some more tips about games apps you can visit Affle AppStudioz.

Publishing an app and expecting it to become a hit without a well-defined marketing strategy is a poor decision. Your app monetization methods should be very much effective that it should attract the target audience.

However, as compared to free apps it’s easy to earn money through paid apps. But, still there is a good opportunity even for free apps to score big in mobile marketplace—if you have a good addictive app. For free apps the medium of earning is ads, but having ads in your apps may likely to be annoying, disruptive experience to the user and may harm your brand name as well.

  • Multichannel capability

Somehow many people still have the expectation that they upload an app to iTunes and it gets downloaded like crazy whithin days. In fact this happens sometimes, but rather to one app out of a million. Marketing new developed apps will become increasingly important in the future… so I really appreciate this overview!

Your tips are very useful. About the 500 review sites, I have a question. I do believe that there are that many sites. But witch ones are worth working with is the hard part. I've trying some of the paid ones, I didn't pay anything yet, but researched about them to see if its worth spend my money there. I see a lot of people asking you to send the list of these 500 sites, you must by tired of it. My question is: In your opinion witch ones among those 500 sites are worth invest you time on it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Karthick,

thanks for sharing your tips. But to be honest, they are nothing but basic tips everybody knows. Is there anything more essential that you can provide through your 6 years of professional experience in Marketing? :)

Since obviously for more information you ask for a PM I would like to ask for what company do you work for or do you work freelance?

  1. If you haven't started blogging and engaging with the potential community from the start of the creation of your product it'll be too late.
  2. Since Facebook and Co have changed their algorithm to force users into paid ads it is almost impossible to gain any organic traffic through a fanpage.
  3. Forum postings are very much saturated and since most of them are free, everybody puts their stuff in it.
  4. To create a video is quite a easy task, to promote it is once again no easy task. A video counts to the basics if you just submit your game to a store.
  5. There are a lot of lists out their in the internet you can get by simply searching google. Don't pay money for such lists! There are very few review sites that really influence growth of your app.

To sum it up, hands down, at first you need a quality product, and second you need marketing budget, if you don't have both you will need lots of luck.

Would you agree with me Karthick? :) Would love to hear your feedback on my points! Thanks in advance!

Best

What the best sites or forumes you suggests to promote my video game in

Cristian Slav

The tips look pretty simple but it is not that easy.
A lot of forums, including AndroidPit, have rules which prevent developers from making their app visible.

For example, on AndroidPit I can not actually brag about my new game because I am not allowed to add links in my post and guess what? A link to Google Play is a .... link (it is very true that I subscribe to this forum just to promote my Android game)

On reddit.com/r/Android same thing - you have to be an active user in order to promote your app there.

I can go on with the examples but the idea is simple and painful for any developer:

we are not allowed to promote our newest and greatest apps and games on the best forums because we subscribe to those forums right after we hit Publish in Google Play.

I can understand why moderators come up with these restrictions but while filtering a lot of spam they also filter some good or some bad apps but with a lot of the developer soul into them :)

My advice: be patience as you slowly realize that promoting is twice as hard as developing!

What is the right app to make videos?

I've used VSDC Free Video Editor.

The free version has very few limitations and incredibly full featured, and it's pretty easy to understand. I took videos with Fraps and added the to VSDC and edited there.
