Buying tweets to promote an iOS game, did anyone use it?

Question

Marketing

Interested in how effective is the way to promote the game under iOS by buying tweets from thematic sites, for example.
You can see the offers here: http://buysellads.com
Prices jump from $10 to $350 depending on the popularity and impudence of the resource.
Does this promotion make sense? What can be expected? Or is it just money down the drain?

Answer 1

It seems to me that this is almost the same as publishing custom promotional articles for your product in specialized well-promoted blogs. That is, it will definitely bring some traffic and a certain number of purchases to your application. But do not rely on this method entirely, use it only as an addition to the main advertising campaign. IMHO :)

Answer 2

In my experience, this is not very efficient. Unless only at the very beginning, so that at least someone would download the application.
Often there are a lot of bots in the followers of these twitter accounts.
If you really want to, then there are promotion options through tweets on the same fiverr.com . It will be there for $5, but sites are usually less specialized in this regard.

Answer 3

Try thematic groups on VK. Personally, I was just amazed by the result;)

Answer 4

Naturally works. The question is - what is the conversion of your application. And if for a well-monetized application - it will pay off handsomely, then for another it will be a net minus.
It's easier to try.
