Monthly GameSalad Meetup Thursday December 3 2015 at 7pm CST (01:00 GMT)

BlackCloakGS

Topic: Monetization strategy

Description:
Hopscotch will be presenting the talk:
How indies compete with the big fish on a $0 budget

You have passionately slaved for months to complete your game.
Now you feel it is done and can't wait to throw it on the app stores.

Stop! Your efforts deserve a few simple extra steps to give your game it's best shot in the real world.

Allow me to convince you that marketing, engagement, retention and a good monetisation strategy, is easy, fun, and necessary, by looking at:

• How, when and where to best use ads
• How to increase user retention
• Social media options (Facebook, Twitter, Email)
• Soft-launching and AB-Testing
• Marketing for indies, ASO and Keywords

Come learn about GameSalad and meet other GameSalad creators. Chat with some of the developers behind GameSalad, including GameSalad's own Steve Jakab (a.k.a stevej), Alan Uthoff (a.k.a. BlackCloakGS), Tan Tran (a.k.a. adent42)

If you can't join us in person, join us online

I think there is a case for a sub forum ?
