Marketing

Hi,

I have a game in the app store (2 versions) and i made 120 paid downloads of both from mid february. I did the iphone version free for 24 hours and i made 250 download but from a week, every day I made 0 download. I made all the possible , facebook page with 50 fans, website with frequently update, twitter, youtube trailer, email to review site....I don't have any idea to what can I do more???

Do you have any advice?

An app will either sell itself, or make you do the leg work.

One is usually advised to do both.

In your case, I advise you to do more on the marketing front. A website and facebook page is a brilliant resource to have, but if no one knows about you, then they will never visit.

My advice is for you to send copies of your applications to sites that review applications. Gamesalad, view link below, has a small resource of such sites.

On that page you'll find a [Review Sites] section where you can get started.

Send your application to people so that your app may spread by word of mouth.

Hope that helps,

Good luck

No problem .... I didn't get much luck even hitting those sites myself. I'm kind of working on the idea that I need a number of apps (maybe 5-10) so that I have a better chance that one will get noticed and bring attention to the others.

Hi, when you submitting your app to a review site there are some important things to include.

1. Always include the name of the app. Sounds silly, but out of 30+ review per day, 1-2 forget to mention the name of the app.
2. Always include the iTunes url link.
3. Give a brief description of the app and why it stands out from other, similar apps.
4. Provide the price of the app or include the fact that it's free, if that's the case.
5. If it's not for free, then offer a promo code for the purposes of testing the app.
6. If the site replies requesting a promo, follow that up and send a promo code. The chances are they are now interested. I have 100+ app submissions in my "waiting promo code" folder.

Hope this helps
