I agree with @7twenty7: RTFM man!

but the flipside on his comment "hundreds of ways" ....
There are 742 pickup lines on the Internet. But only 11 work ; - )

@Statusguitar, be sure to stop by the developer section and ask "How do I create an app" lol

(and when you leave this thread, don't let the door hit you in the @ss)

Since you're giving marketing advive,
I assume you've done all that stuff with your own apps.

And how's that working out for you?

Hi
I am new in this forum.
I haven`t sold any app till now but for me it was interesting to take part at some of the creating apps contest held all the time. To get an first insight from the economic point of view it can be usefull. I had the possibility to meet not only other developer but also to get in touch with provider and deviceproducer. So this can also be used as a starting point.

You can try out banner ad in some of the reputed app review sites.

I got some advices from review site, it is really great for my next move. Also the forum thread increase the hit chance to potential buyer.

Well, I must say there is no publishing method is a guarantee of increasing sale. It doesn't hurt to make a try.

Someone may say, good app talks. It is true but majority apps are just not good enough to "talk", so what developer can do is - help them talk.

Try every way that possible and leave no regret.

I hope this answers your question.

So I assume you've done that with outstanding results?

You might as well just flush your money down the toilet. In fact, you might get more enjoyment out of that.

haha I think you speak for the rest of us.

As for advertising, I think you'll find the general consensus is that advertising is not very effective for individual developers. Your resources are better spent improving and polishing your app.

YES, you can waste your money advertising your App... it's a free country!

@asianrecipes

I encourage you to read the Forum Policies.

This is a classic undesired post...
