Hi there!
I'm a game developer. And we plan to promote our new game app in October. As a small studio, we do not have enough budget to spend on ads.
Do you have any suggestion to increase the download of the new app?
Thanks for your advice.

Hey guys,
Apologies if this isn't an appropriate place to post this. I'm hoping some of you will find this an interesting opportunity. FlashGameLicense (FGL) is running a contest in partnership with Adobe to promote flash game developers to port/adapt their titles to play on Android. I thought I might try to see if Android developers would be interested in exploring the development opportunities available with flash.
Cell Your Flash Game Contest
[Sorry I can't post a direct link yet. If you search for the phrase above you will find it quickly. I do apologize again if this is considered spam.]
This contest is actually focused on flash games that run well within the browser but I think an effective marketing strategy would be building your game in Flash using AIR to create an Android App for sale. Then create a lite version of the same game for in-browser play that up sells to your App and of course is entered in our contest.
I'd love to hear any questions or comments about this strategy and our contest. The way we structured it is to have 150 cash prize winners so almost every quality entry will win something. It's only $100 (there are bigger prizes for the top ones) but the real incentive is getting your feet wet in what we think will be an extremely lucrative market. Buyers on FGL spend $300,000-$400,000 a month sponsoring and licensing flash web games. If you design your mobile game in flash you can sell your app on Android and reach the desktop web game market at the same time.
If you are not interesting in developing with Flash can I ask why? What are the disadvantages compared to traditional tools for Android development?
Thanks for your time!

Hi all,
it takes a long time to develop an app and it takes even more to achieve that your app is known.
My app (so far) Voice Message has ads from admob to help me to get some money from the users.
I don't know if this is already said, but I think we can collaborate with Admob auto-ads. For example, I can put ads in Admob of another app as if it were mine and the other developer could do the same.
If you think this is a good idea to promote our apps, I will put ads in Admob to promote your apps, and you will do the same for mine.
We can put in Admob until 50% ads from auto-ads and collaborate among us.
What do you think?
Hi pacosal,
I do really like your idea! You can develop the best apps but if nobody knows them them they're useless.
In the end that's bad for the users and the developers!
I do have two apps in the Market with one of those as a paid app. I would really like to have more advertisement, because personally I think it is the best one available. If we can find more developers who are willing to collaborate we could get a large user base and increase popularity and therefore sales.
I'm willing to put my free app (~60000 downloads and ~30000 active users) into the pot.
Who's next?!
// edit: wow that was my first post, really?! Almost one year after registering...
ok, perfect!
We can wait for more developers or we can start right now and when others developers want to join us, they have to write in this thread.
My app is Voice Message, you can put this kind of ads.
Try the free Voice Message App with url to: market://details?id=com.pacosal.voicemessage
What is your APP?
Tell me and I will promote yours.
Anyone more?
Anyone else?
Hey,
sorry for the long delay.
Currently I don't have ads in my free app (called 'Stats') and I don't want to update it just to add ads into it. It will take some time for me to put a little work into it.
We should collect more developers to build some kind of community. What do you think about a small website?

It could be a good idea, but at first we need more developers interested in.
Waiting for more developers...
I will post into a German developer board, let's see how it works...

It depends on how much money do you have, if you have a lot of money for propagation, I can recommend appbrain. If you don't have any money, or you don't want to spend them, there is a lot of options..changing review, ASO optimization, submit review to android sites, etc
btw. 100 donw/day is not really bad, I know developers, who spent hours and hours on making game and they have few downloads a day

Thanks for the reply.
I will check the details.
Hi all, what do you think about promocodes as a way to promote your apps? Do you think it is a good way? Do you think promocodes should be given using a specific strategy, ie promocodes giveaway only if you review my apps?
Can you suggest me if there is a specific kind of apps that would benefit more from promocode strategy?
I'm planning to release a game app and thought it could be a good way to promote it via promocodes but would like to know other's opinions and suggestions.
Hi everyone,
we recently created dailybraintraining.org - a website where developers can showcase and promote their Android Puzzle Games (or educational apps) for free.
You can submit an App here: dailybraintraining.org/submit-app/
The page is not very big yet, but your article will also get posted on our facebook-page (facebook.com/brainardsbraintraining) which has over 1000 Likes and is growing daily.
Thanks,

I have submitted my app and see if you could help. Thanks for your offer.
I am also going to search any good forum/groups/etc for brain/puzzle games. But so far I cannot find one.
