How do you promote your applications in the Play Market?

Question

Marketing

I posted my application on the Play Market not long ago. And unfortunately, only after that I had a question: how can I make it so that it would start downloading? Not a lot of rush on the Internet free ways to learn only this:
- You can write articles about your application on the forums
- You can tell your friends (well, this is understandable)
- You can promote yourself through social networks. networks (I don’t quite understand where to get traffic from social networks)
What other methods do you know and what can you advise?

Answer 1

Nothing shines in free ways anymore. Think of something.
Pay those who write game reviews to talk about your game. Pay those who make video reviews, by analogy above.
I would go to the nearest phone repair, agree with the master for a couple of thousand a month, so that he would download my game to clients' phones, write a review, and delete it when issuing it. So the number of downloads would be crammed + reviews. Yes, there are a lot of promotion topics, you just need to turn on the brain.

Answer 2

You can for free. But in narrow niches. When there are few competitors.
after each achievement (500+,1k+,5k+,10k+,50k) google gains more views
through reviews.
It is important that users do not delete the . The more and more active use of the application
, the better. The more they pay too. Income is even more important.
Optimize . Views - installs. (describe exactly what will be done).
No need to chase the aso for tweeters. If there is bad traffic on demand
(they put a little, they quickly delete it), then remove the parasite.
Google through the recommendations is not quite adequate for me. No matter how much I change the description, it clings
to the wrong place where I need it. But my problem is that the niche is only 100 applications. And quite
there are only 7 close analogues.

Answer 3

Advertising on YouTube! Now various games are actively advertised and users watch ads for 30 seconds before the video and 55% of those who watch will download the application!

Answer 4

There are no free methods, except for those that you listed. You can buy advertising from groups on Vkontakte. Also, Google can boost to the recommended ones, if there are few downloads, a good rating, the game was not deleted immediately / was not deleted from the device at all. Insert popular tags in the description. Beautiful screenshots. Maybe a trailer. you can order such a service, which includes: downloading the application for a while + review.

Answer 5

1. I buy some motivated traffic so that, firstly, some installs appear and Google sees what users are interested in, and secondly, so that reviews appear - without reviews it will be more difficult to advertise.
2. I post on free resources, on w3bsit3-dns.com for example.
3. I buy "normal" advertising. There are a lot of options here - Facebook, direct, myTarget, AdMob, etc. To be honest, everything is not very user-friendly (there is no support for everyone, ads may not be missed just like that and you can’t prove anything, etc.). It is difficult to recommend a specific channel, because they are different for different applications.
It is important to stabilize the application by the second step so that real users do not encounter crashes at every step.
It’s unlikely that it will work for free, only if it accidentally becomes viral, but this is one case in a million.

Answer 6

It’s easier to hire a designer on upwork or freelance to remake the application into a beautiful one
