I've seen some cool ideas that have been shaped out of multiple people ideas/efforts on a common issue and would like to invite that effort on the topic of 'Exposure for our Apps'. Some of you may have 'cracked the nut' and are getting the exposure you want but I suspect many are not and this is for you also.
First let's consider what I think 'I think I know'
... New App created, pretty decent graphics and gameplay .. check. Website, screenshots, description, facebook .. check. Emails to review sites and promo codes ... check. First week of launch some sales .. check. Thereafter .. not so much.
Now the App is still quality. If it was worth someone buying first week then its likely worth buying still. What has changed? Exposure pure and simple. So if more people saw it today likely some would buy. So doesn't matter if your a great artist, great game designer and spend a ton of time on your app ... if it doesn't get a few of the important websites to notice then it's likely toast.
What can we do? Well we are a helpful community of mostly like-minded individuals many with the same issues. Could we throw ideas at a 'wall' and see if any stick? We would need to think we are 'fighting' the rest of the App world on this, not each other! Any ideas?
